If you cannot get freezedetect to work, a workaround could be to extract two images from a video stream separated in time, and use imagemagick's 'compare' to get a numerical difference between them. The documentation on that should be sufficient for you to wrangle up a script to your liking. https://imagemagick.org/script/compare.php https://legacy.imagemagick.org/Usage/compare/ In the meantime, there is an example on this SuperUser answer from 2019: https://superuser.com/a/1429300/461558 Cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ 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".
