Hi
I am looking for help to add an .m3u playlist from Kodi as a mux.
my source is: file://var/storage/.kodi//userdata/playlist/video/Friends.m3u
my file is. : file://var/media/Seagate Expansion Dr/tv shows/Friends/Season 1/1x1.avi (I have also tried .mp4 files)
try #1
pipe:///var/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -user-agent Kodi/17.5 -i /var/media/Seagate Expansion Dr/tv shows/Friends/Season 1/1x3.avi -codec copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb,dump_extra
-metadata service_provider=PROVIDER -metadata service_name=SERVICE -tune zerolatency -f mpegts pipe:1
(also tried with hevc_mp4toannexb,dump_extra)
and try #2
pipe:///var/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -user-agent Kodi/17.5 -/var/storage/.kodi//userdata/playlist/video/Friends.m3u -codec copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb,dump_extra
