ffmpeg \\.\pipe\Stream: No such file or directory

[gaamaaresosa]

This seems an excellent solution for ffmpeg Named Pipe for Windows. But I think I don't know how to use it with ffmpeg.

I see error from ffmpeg command. \.\pipe\Stream: No such file or directory

First run a batch file with below command, createAndWritePipe.exe Stream

Then I started ffmpeg command line form another batch file:

ffmpeg.exe -f dshow -i "video=VideoDevice:audio=AudioDevice" -y -f rawvideo \\.\pipe\Stream

I see below error from ffmpeg:

\.\pipe\Stream: No such file or directory

Can some one help me the correct steps to Write and Read from the Named pipe on Windows from ffmpeg ?

You should not.

Do NOT run it.

It's malware that'll steal your account if executed, to spread further spamming the same message elsewhere, like happened to this person.

There are a lot of comments like that

(and this is how I found this issue)

Thank God ! I had stopped... How come on trusted github portal ? We blindly run everything from github.

I belive the warning about malware is not related to this repo itself?

Here's a example of the way to use this util with FFmpeg: ffmpeg -i foo [some stuff] - | createAndWritePipe bar ffplay -i \\.\pipe\bar Or createAndReadPipe bar | ffplay -i - ffmpeg -i foo [some stuff] \\.\pipe\bar -y (without -y FFmpeg will ask for overwriting and break the pipe)
