Hello mate.

Hope you can help me out here. I'm setting this up on a small Ubuntu VM but I've run into a small issue when starting ./ffmpeg gives the error...

root@Ubuntu20:/home/joe/mr-otcs-1.5.2# ./ffmpeg.sh ./ffmpeg.sh: line 16: ts: command not found

Nginx is running with the RTMP module, stream key is working and paths are set correctly.

• Keep track of elapsed time in play_index.txt, writing total playback time in seconds every 30 seconds or so
• If return code of media player is non-zero, play the file again but starting from the saved time
• Only skip files if this fails within RETRY_ATTEMPTS times

Find more efficient ways to work with lists or thread the schedule generation process somehow.

i.e. up to the next 8 hours of content. It should be possible since all of the upcoming video lengths are calculated in advance.

For unknown reasons, the relay ffmpeg process will fail to reconnect to the third-party RTMP destination following a disconnect, requiring a restart of ffmpeg.sh.

Add up cumulative duration of played videos. If the duration of the next video will exceed 48 hours, restart the stream before continuing the playlist.

I've attempted to make a docker container for mr-otcs to run on a Synology NAS and am getting the following errors looping forever that aren't clear as to the cause.

[Info] RTMP process started on 2023-10-21 17:24:02.933743.
[Play] 1. /videos/test.mkv - Length: 0:04:48.

[Error] RTMP process ended unexpectedly on 2023-10-21 17:24:03.415517, exit code 1. Restarting stream.
[Error] Stream interrupted. Attempting to restart.

I realize that's out of the scope of your project, but was hoping you may have had some insight where to look to find what's happening to the stream.

This would allow very short video files like commercials to be automatically excluded from the schedule file without needing to add their file names to SCHEDULE_EXCLUDE_FILE_PATTERN.

Related to #7, ffmpeg padding should be accounted for in video duration calculation.

When encoding videos with differing framerates, such as 60 FPS to 30 FPS, after the higher framerate video finishes and the lower framerate video begins, the stream loses audio until it is restarted manually. Changing the video encoding parameters on either the encoding or RTMP processes does not appear to resolve the issue.

This would allow for a natural end to the stream without interrupting programming if immediate termination is not needed or desired.

Check if there's at least one actual filename in MEDIA_PLAYLIST. Infinite loop happens if the playlist has no valid entries.

Attempt to keep the stream alive while searching for a missing file.

When running the python script I keep getting this error message

[NULL @ 0x2996aa0] Failed to parse extradata
[h264_omx @ 0x29ab1c0] /opt/vc/lib/libopenmaxil.so not found
Error initializing output stream 0:0 -- Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
Conversion failed!

Would you have any idea what could be wrong with this?

For certain types of videos like station breaks or commercials, it may not be desirable to add them to the schedule. For these videos, allow the user to define a file name pattern that excludes matches from getting added to the schedule. Their lengths will still be calculated and added to the length of the previous file so that subsequent videos are offset properly.

Write lengths in a JSON file or something. This assumes lengths won't change while the script runs.
