How can I define a different Probesize value in ffmpeg

[cagnulein]

As the subject, how can I define a different Probesize value in ffmpeg?

[Mr-Dave]

Use netcam_params. e.g. netcam_params probesize=whatever

@Mr-Dave, is it possible to specify -fflags nobuffer to the rtsp input the same way?

[Mr-Dave]

Yes. That should work as well.

Rather than having only a few hard-coded options, Motion now supports specifying any option/value pair in the netcam_params and they will be parsed and sent directly into the FFmpeg dictionary. Therefore if you wanted the fflags as well as probesize it would be:

netcam_params probesize=whatever, fflags=nobuffer

The Motion log prints out the parsed values so it provides confirmation of how the option/value pair will be sent to FFmpeg.
