I am trying to read an incomplete MP4 file as it is being written in real time.

This is in general impossible with FFmpeg.

I'm not sure it's possible at all with mp4/mov at all- you need metadata that's written when the file is closed.

In some live broadcast workflows, which need some post work before telecast, the encoder writes a file with pre-specified metadata i.e. timestamps and packet offsets, and writes out the media to those offsets. This is inefficient in terms of space packing but any NLE can open these files and access the new data as it gets added.

Gyan
