Hi there This is not really related to FFmpeg, and I'm afraid there is no quick solution.
If you use environment variable (like you proposed) or any shell/UNIX 'hack' (eg. -i `cat url.txt`), at the moment of execution a plain-text password will be inserted anyway. And 'ps' will show what really was launched, not the string before parsing. So the question becomes – can you pass incomplete information to FFmpeg at the execution time, and then make it fetch extra information itself? I don't think it's possible.
