I have a single mpeg-ts input stream, http://192.168.1.100/stream0, and I wish to do two things with this stream. One output is to be a hls multipart stream with m3u8 so apache can serve to local clients in a browser. The other output is to copy the stream into a mp4 container that is 5 minutes long. The goal being to have a constant live stream that can be viewed, whilst also a number of 5 min long mp4 files saved to disk.
The command below accomplishes part of what I need:
ffmpeg -re -i http://192.168.1.100/stream0 -c:v copy -c:a copy -preset veryfast \
-f hls -hls_time 3 -segment_list_flags +live \
-hls_flags second_level_segment_index\
+second_level_segment_size\
+second_level_segment_duration \
-hls_flags delete_segments \
-hls_segment_filename \
/var/www/html/live-%1d.ts \
/var/www/html/live.m3u8 \
-f mpegts -c:v copy -c:a copy -y -t 300 \
/store/archive/archive.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).mp4"
The problem is the 2nd part, creates just one file and doesn't continue to create multiple files.
I can run one ffmpeg to create the live stream, then run another instance using that live stream as the input within a loop so the it creates multiple files. Ideally I think I need to use Pipes, but I either end up with out multiple mp4 files, or a live stream that keeps freezing.
What would be the best way to approach this ?
