I have written a utility on Ubuntu which extracts sections from a video mp4 file using ffmpeg and then combines them into a final combined video.
It has been working fine for years but it relies on everthing happening in a single directory so I have tried to modify it such that it can use file locations elsewhare on the file system too. Now tested the full utility and I get an error in the final step where the output shall be the end product video. This is what I send into ffmpeg: ffmpeg -hide_banner -f concat -i ./_filelist_.txt -c copy ./Test.out.mp4 The file list contains this: file './tmp-1.mp4' file './tmp-2.mp4' file './tmp-3.mp4' file './tmp-4.mp4' file './tmp-5.mp4' What I get when I run the command is this: $ ffmpeg -hide_banner -f concat -i ./_filelist_.txt -c copy ./Test.out.mp4 [concat @ 0x55d3e78a0580] Unsafe file name './tmp-1.mp4' ./_filelist_.txt: Operation not permitted What is the reason for this when the tmp files obviously are created just fine using ffmpeg in an earlier step??? I have tried to edit _filelist_.txt by writing the full path for each tmp file but it still complains! [concat @ 0x55760e61b580] Unsafe file name '/home/bosse/proj/VideoSplitCombine/tmp-1.mp4' ./_filelist2_.txt: Operation not permitted What can be done about it? -- 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".
