movie_extpipe from netcam_high_url?

[feelingwalnut]

i have been unable to find a way to use movie_extpipe with the full resolution the high_url gives us. i've tried a few variants even using ffmpeg to call an rtsp feed but all have either been non-functional or problematic.

any one know what the "official" way is? is it just a matter of selecting a different pipe? how does it work on the normal movie capture option?

What exactly does not work for you? What error do you get? Do you have full log?

no errors, just unsure of how to configure the parameter.

with these settings you will get a video from the netcam_url @480x360
netcam_high_url rtsp://user:pass@ip:port/Streaming/channels/101
netcam_url rtsp://user:pass@ip:port/Streaming/channels/102
movie_output on
movie_passthrough on
movie_extpipe_use on
movie_extpipe ffmpeg -y -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -video_size %wx%h -framerate %fps -i pipe:0 -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -f mp4 %f.mp4

but if you don't use ext_pipe, you will get a video from netcam_high_url @ 2304x1296
netcam_high_url rtsp://user:pass@ip:port/Streaming/channels/101
netcam_url rtsp://user:pass@ip:port/Streaming/channels/102
movie_output on
movie_passthrough on
movie_extpipe_use off

do you know of a way to configure movie_extpipe to use the newcam_high_url? i've been unable to figure it out.

Edit: i should add that if you don't use netcam_high_url and only use netcam_url (with the higher resolution feed) everything works fine. with the caveat of processing all those extra motion pixels.

No, extpipe is for the main stream that is used for motion detection.
If you need full res - you simply should not use extpipe and it will save you the full res using passthrough.
Alternatively, you can use high-res for motion detection and simply dosable passthrough. Then you will get high-res in extpipe.

Usually, movie_output, movie_extpipe and movie_passthrough are mutually exclusive, you only use one of them. But technically you can use them all at once
