Script for automatically making a m3u file of a video directory with ffmpeg pipe in linux.
Added by T Pedersen almost 5 years ago
Hi,
Just wanted to share this script for integrating mp4 videos from a security cam into tvheadend.
I have an directory that autopopulate downloaded mp4 files from my security cam if any motions is detected.
with cronjobs and this script I can almost instantly view my camera feed motionrecordings on any TV.
This script is intended for mp4 files, but can be adjusted for other formats and hw.
I`m currently using a rpi4 with rasbian buster.
rawurlencode() { local string="${1}" local strlen=${#string} local encoded="" local pos c o for (( pos=0 ; pos<strlen ; pos++ )); do c=${string:$pos:1} case "$c" in [-_.~a-zA-Z0-9] ) o="${c}" ;; * ) printf -v o '%%%02x' "'$c" esac encoded+="${o}" done echo "${encoded}" } rm -rf p.m3u for f in *.mp4; do echo "#EXTINF:-1 group-title=DoorCam,SR:$f pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -c:v h264_mmal -i /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/downloads/"$(rawurlencode $f) -b:v 10000k -acodec copy -vcodec h264_omx -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb,dump_extra -f mpegts pipe:1 done sed -i '1s/^/#EXTM3U\n/' securitycam.m3u rm -rf l.m3u for f in *.mp4; do echo "#EXTINF:-1 group-title=DoorCam,SR:$f pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -c:v h264_mmal -i /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/downloads/$f" -b:v 10000k -acodec copy -vcodec h264_omx -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb,dump_extra -f mpegts pipe:1 done sed -i '1s/^/#EXTM3U\n/' securitycamb.m3u

Why not use on-demand live view?

This is just for the motionrecordings of my cam, have rtsp stream for my live view.
also,
cannot access this cams recordings other than last motion, closed in a subscriptionbased cloud service. using HA to automatically download latest video from the service which is allowed.. would been easier if API where open.
