#11268: -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 not working with piped input -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Wes Castro | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: normal Component: | Version: undetermined | unspecified Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Reproduced by developer: 0 Analyzed by developer: 0 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Summary of the bug: When piping a raw H264 stream to FFmpeg with `-use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1`, wallclock times are not used. If the pipe is opened for say 10 seconds, it's expected that the output's duration will be ~10 seconds. Instead it seems to use timing info from the input stream. I didn't test with other types of piped inputs The issue was introduced in FFmpeg 6.1 and repros on the master branch. How to reproduce: {{{ ffmpeg -y -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=1:size=1280x720:rate=30 -f h264 ~/1second.h264 (cat ~/1second.h264; sleep 10; cat ~/1second.h264) | ffmpeg -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -i pipe: -f mp4 ~/test.mp4 -y }}} Here are the durations reported by FFprobe when using various FFmpeg versions for the second line: * FFmpeg 6.0: 11.5s * FFmpeg 6.1: 2.0s * FFmpeg 7.1: 2.0s * master branch (08b1bffa49715a9615acc025dfbea252d8409e1f): 2.0s -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/11268> FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker
