And, of course, use a current build of ffmpeg. Well after my last post I checked if just adding the second command arguments after the input had been defined to be the stream it worked just like I want it to! :) Here is the basics of the script I call from the at schedule at preset times (I have removed input argument checking for clarity): #!/bin/bash read VIDEOURL < $URLFILE #URLFILE contains the long URL to the 24 hour stream CAPTURETIME="$1" #Time in second for the capture duration TARGETFILE="$2" #The output file to store the video into, extension is .mp4 eval "ffmpeg -hide_banner -threads 1 -user_agent \"Mozilla\" -i $VIDEOURL -vf scale=w=-4:h=360 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 26 -c:a copy -t $CAPTURETIME $TARGETFILE" I think that the " -threads 1 " part does not work to reduce the CPU load, though... When I check with top I get a load that varies between 35% and 80% for the ffmpeg PID. But when I check the thread count for that PID it gets above 20! Anyway, the whole thing now works OK and I get the final file at the time the scheduled task is supposed to end. All in all I now have a working solution that does not slow me down for geometry/size conversion after each download as it did before. And the mp4 file size is OK too. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
