Support Overlays in Ffmpeg Mode

Open Breakthrough opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

Text and box overlays are supported by ffmpeg filters: https://ffmpegbyexample.com/examples/z1jezi81/drawtext_and_drawbox_using_sendcmd_manifest/

It should be possible to do the same but using a temporary file for the bounding box.

Hi, can u give me more info about that. if i have all my points drawn from FFMPEG SCENE how can i utalize it for bounding box... Im trying to understand the correlation ebtween ffmpeg and dvr scan.

Asically we have a feed the feed is being recorded in 10sec intervals. before we cpy to disc i am doing a bunch of stuff on that mp4 chunk. ideally i would run it also via dvr scan for bounding boxes etc.... Immtrying to understand the best flow.

Thansk a bunch!~

This is a tracking bug for actually implementing support for this in DVR-Scan. When this is complete, you can use -m ffmpeg with the existing overlays. In the meantime I'm not sure I have a good solution - you might have to use -m opencv for now.

just so i can understand, your saying that in the future we might be able to pull Person and car via ffmpeg ? is that a capability?
