Re: [Motion-user] Using ffmpeg via extpipe

[tosiara <to...@gm...>]

Lets test your ffmpeg
Create a script "rawvideo.sh":

while [ true ]
do
    mx=320;my=240;head -c "$((3*mx*my))" /dev/urandom
    sleep 1
done

Then run a command:

./rawvideo.sh | ffmpeg -y -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -video_size
320x240 -framerate 1 -i pipe:0 -vcodec libvpx test.webm

Let it run for some time and kill using CTRL+C
You should now get a test.webm file. Do you get it? If not - what
error does ffmpeg write to console?
