How to record UDP stream with FFMPEG in chunks

ffmpegudpvideo-recording

I'm looking for a way to record a video UDP stream using ffmpeg but in 10mn chunks.
I currently use the following to get 10mn of video (with h264 transcoding).

"ffmpeg -i udp://239.0.77.15:5000 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -s 640×360 -vcodec libx264 -g 100 -vb 500000 -r 25 -strict experimental -vf yadif -acodec aac -ab 96000 -ac 2 -t 600 -y /media/test.m4 "

My problem is that using command line ffmpeg needs time to resync with the udp stream loosing 2 seconds of video each time. Is it normal ?

Any idea if there is a way to do it in command line or should I tried to use the ffmpeg API ?

Thanks in advance

Ok found it.

Recently ffmpeg add a segmenter, here is the syntax:

-f segment: tell ffmpeg to use the segmenter

-segment_time: chunk size in second

You can use autoincrement file name with something like %03d (000,001,002,003...).

Here is my line to transcode a UDP MPEGTS stream, into H264+AAC and save it to file chunk (60 seconds):

ffmpeg -i udp://239.0.77.15:5000 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -s 640x360 -vcodec libx264 -g 60 -vb 500000 -strict experimental -vf yadif -acodec aac -ab 96000 -ac 2 -y -f segment -segment_time 60 "xxx-%03d.ts"

Javascript – In Node.js Express/Connect, is there a way to set the session to infinity

As mentioned in the Connect guide on the session middleware page (Express uses Connect internally), you can specify a maxAge option on sessions:

cookie Session cookie settings, defaulting to { path: '/', httpOnly: true, maxAge: 14400000 }

Example:

connect(
      connect.cookieParser()
    , connect.session({ secret: 'keyboard cat', cookie: { maxAge: 60000 }})
    , connect.favicon()
    , function(req, res, next){
      var sess = req.session;
      if (sess.views) {
        res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
        res.write('<p>views: ' + sess.views + '</p>');
        res.write('<p>expires in: ' + (sess.cookie.maxAge / 1000) + 's</p>');
        res.end();
        sess.views++;
      } else {
        sess.views = 1;
        res.end('welcome to the session demo. refresh!');
      }
    }
  ).listen(3000);

Note: maxAge is in milliseconds, so for example a day = 86400000
