[FFmpeg-user] Drawtext filter with date overlay is not working in git-N-29946-g27614b1

[Sebastian Arcus]

Just downloaded latest ffmpeg from git and tried the drawtext filter 
with date overlay. No errors on the command line, but the date on the 
video is completely static - it picks up the date the moment ffmpeg is 
started, and it doesn't change any more. The command I use is:

ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -t 600 -f mjpeg -r 8 -s 640x480 \
     -i http://localhost:8080/?action=stream -vcodec mpeg4 \
     -vf drawtext="fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/TTF/mitra.ttf:x=70:y=455:  \
     text='\%H\:\%M\:\%S  |  \%a \%d/\%b/\%Y  |  S500ATV  |  camera 0': \
     fontcolor=0xFFFFFFFF:fontsize=18: \
     shadowcolor=0x000000EE:shadowx=1:shadowy=1" \
     -b 1500000 -r 8 video_file.avi

This used to work just fine only few weeks ago.

The input stream comes from mjpg-streamer, which generates it from a usb 
webcam - but I don't think that makes any difference.

Anybody any suggestions? Any recent changes that broke the drawtext filter?
