Nevermind I just read your question again and I guess it sounds like you want the time stamp from the camera itself. Not sure how you would do that. On Fri, Sep 6, 2019 at 11:29 PM Michael Shaffer <mikeshaffer@gmail.com> wrote:

I've been using Python to archive my RTSP IP camera footage. This is the Python code I use to name the file the current date and time. Basically I have the program terminate and start a new ffmpeg instance every 20 minutes. It would be nice though if ffmpeg could segment and timestamp the files itself. Not sure how you would do that exactly.

timestr = time.strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S")

myUrl='ffmpeg1rec -rtsp_transport tcp -y -rtbufsize 200M -i \"rtsp:// admin:password@192.168.1.23:554/Streaming/Channels/101/\ <http://admin:password@192.168.1.23:554/Streaming/Channels/101/%5C>" -f lavfi -f dshow -i audio="virtual-audio-capturer" -c:a libmp3lame -ab 192k -ar 48000 -map_channel 1.0.0 -bufsize 5096k -c:v copy -f flv recordings/cam1-' + timestr + '.mp4'

subprocess.Popen(myUrl, shell=True)

Hi,

I am trying to get a RTSP stream from an IP Camera and save that stream as several MP4 segments, but i need that each file segment name gets the real time stamp of the video stream. (If I use the -strftime 1, it gets the time of the local machine but i need the real rtsp time). How can I get the Real Time Stamp?

I am suing this command:

ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i "rtsp:// admin:pass@myddns.dyndns.org:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0" –f segment -segment_time 5 -c copy OUT%d.mp4

Thanks!

Alejandro

We have interest in being able to read timestamps in protocol headers also. Do we have a doc that specifies which protocols in the video stream ffmpeg supports with a timecode, and what format of the timecode is? Does anyone have experience which layer within the network stack has a timestamp that is accessible, available and reliable? On Fri, Apr 17, 2020 at 3:59 PM Roger Pack <rogerdpack2@gmail.com> wrote:

Maybe if not mp4 it will use the capture ts? Maybe -copyts https://ffmpeg-user.ffmpeg.narkive.com/fzTrnfHX/getting-precise-start-time-f... ?
