Possibility to change ffmpeg parameters for the record

[ChrisPices]

Hey there.

I'd like to know if there's any possibilities to changes some ffmpeg parameters about recordings & streaming.
There is resolution, framerate... already, but i'm looking to change format like mp4, flv, either mp3.
I'd like to record with flv format, case if jibri crashes for any reason, the record isn't corrupted. (mp4 is bcause of broken metadata)

i looked on docker and basic installation, I tryed to find where i could, but i didn't find. And i don't have enough skills to reverse engineering :/

Can you tell me where i can, or if it's possible to implement the option?

Thanks you !

Hey there!

Currently there are some parameters that can be customized using config options:

jibri/src/main/resources/reference.conf

Line 38 in 17ab5bd

ffmpeg {

the source is here:

jibri/src/main/kotlin/org/jitsi/jibri/capture/ffmpeg/Commands.kt

Line 21 in 17ab5bd

fun getFfmpegCommandLinux(ffmpegExecutorParams: FfmpegExecutorParams, sink: Sink): List<String> {

The file container and audio codec are not currently configrable.

You make a great argument towards FLV. At the very least, supporting it sounds something desirable. Would you be open to sending a PR?

Thanks for reply !

Honestly, i'm not a huge user of github...

I can't make a pull request, by the way i am not a developper aha.

But i think i find where we should work to make it possible :

https://github.com/jitsi/jibri/blob/17ab5bd602edd3ddde787def70ee9576bbe0efa9/src/main/kotlin/org/jitsi/jibri/sink/impl/FileSink.kt

The extension variable is fixed, maybe move it to an variable configurable on the reference.conf

Sorry, i'm kinda useless right there, if i can make anything else, just let me know !
