The best solution would be if something like fileSystemWatcher could be
added to FFmpeg.
Below is a C# example for fileSystemWatcher.
FFmpeg is written in C++. Windows, Mac and Linux each have a different
method for watching the filesystem change. Do you have any example C++
code that works across each operating system FFmpeg runs on?
sorry, I don't have a C++ example. I agree that it's difficult to find a
solution that works with all operating systems.
Instead of trying to repurpose FFmpeg to make it your whole application,
you could try making your application work with FFmpeg. You could watch
the filesystem in your own code and when a new file appears, launch
ffmpeg as needed.
That's an option, but then there is no continuous output visible.
Failing that, another option is to use two instances of ffmpeg. One
(which your program calls when each new file appears) encodes the frame
and sends it over a UDP socket, and the second ffmpeg instance simply
streams video from the UDP socket. This should work well in your case
because if no UDP traffic is coming in, the second ffmpeg instance will
simply continue to display the last frame.
Yes, I agree that's an option.
However I do wonder whether FFmpeg is the best choice here for
displaying the final video. It almost seems like it would be better to
have ffmpeg launch when a new file appears, write the result of the
transformation out to another new image file, then use some kind of
image viewer to pick up and display those second sets of images. I
wouldn't be surprised if some image viewers already supported watching
the filesystem and reloading the image if the file changed, which would
greatly simplify your problem and wouldn't require any changes to
FFmpeg.
Yes, there are image viewers which automatically reload a file when it
has been changed. For example "FastStone Image Viewer".
Well, the easiest solution seems to make all in C#. FileSystemWatcher,
load the image, extract the corners, enlarge them, show the result on
the screen.
