ffmpeg-over-ip

I've considered it, thanks for the nudge. Since the patches are quite specific to my usecase: - https://github.com/steelbrain/ffmpeg-over-ip/blob/main/fio/f... - https://github.com/steelbrain/ffmpeg-over-ip/tree/main/patch... I am not sure they'll be accepted for upstreaming, but in exploring the options, I noticed ffmpeg has sftp:// transport support and there were some bugs surrounding that. I do intend to publish some patches for those.

> cool idea. can you elaborate on IO and how the ffmpeg-server reads blocks from the client? that would seem to be a big blocker ffmpeg-server runs a patched version of ffmpeg locally, ffmpeg requests to read some chunks (ie give me video.mp4) through our patched filesystem (https://github.com/steelbrain/ffmpeg-over-ip/blob/main/fio/f...), which gets sent over the same socket that the client established, client receives the request, does the file operations locally and sends the results back over the socket to the server, and server then sends them to ffmpeg. ffmpeg has no idea its not interacting with a local file system
