The main thing I’ve done is take RTMP/RTSP from network cameras (im doing this for traffic cameras) and push to HLS. This is very powerful as you can take a camera that otherwise would require a special viewer and play in any modern browser with no plugins. Also HLS is over HTTP, so it’s cacheable.
I have to craft the ffmpeg arguments fresh each time I do this, but the main reason I commented was because many ffmpeg tools - like handbrake and jmeter load testing plugins etc are geared towards fixed length inputs, not indefinite live streaming cameras.
There are plenty of streaming servers etc, but just seems like there is a missing niche for lightweight ffmpeg tooling that helps do this.
