This works however it appears that the audio is delayed by a second or so. Is there a better way to do this so they aren't out of sync or failing that is there a way to set a delay on the video stream to compensate? Below is my command. I am using the Sky News You Tube Live as a test signal. I am on Ubuntu 19.10 .

There is no synchronisation taking place between two outputs, if the delay is really constant between runs (I am not convinced it is), you can try the delay filters.

ffmpeg does not completely support your use case, it should work with ffplay.
