This is a follow up to a previous post about FFMPEG. In addition to sending a RTMP stream, you can also set a start time and duration.
Here’s how to set the start time using -ss option and -to for the duration. Video will start at 1 min 23 secs and play until 2 mins.
ffmpeg -ss 00:01:23 -i video.mp4 -to 00:02:00 -c copy -copyts cut.mp4 |
Here’s how to start time to start the video at 1 min 23 sec for RTMP streaming. Please note, the start time option needs to be before the input file.
