http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2019-May/243721.html The drawtext Filter has a reload Option, and when I use overlay with a PNG Image, like so: -f image2 -loop 1 -i overlay.png I can manipulate the overlay by changing out the PNG File while the ffmpeg command is running. (It works with RTMP sending to YouTube). I can make it "disappear" by copying a 1-pixel alpha PNG Image into the "overlay.png" file. I can manipulate the displayed drawtext in real-time by changing the contents of the "textfile" the drawtext filter uses when the "reload" option is set. So far, so good. What about doing the same with a video. That means that the movie filter would reload (or at least check) the file specified as input to that filter, with each run of the loop if a reload option was set, perhaps. ffmpeg appears to read that file once, at inception. Is there currently a way to accomplish this or would one have to add that to he code? Thanks. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
