FFMPEG ====== The FFMPEG node is a generator that ingests media through FFmpeg/libav and republishes it as an image stream. Because it uses FFmpeg's input layer it can read a wide range of file formats as well as live capture devices (cameras, screen-grab inputs, etc.) by specifying an input format. Properties ---------- * **Input Name**: The input to open -- a file path or a device/URL understood by FFmpeg. * **Input Format**: The FFmpeg input format/demuxer to use (for example a webcam or screen-capture backend).

The node reports the **Target Framerate** (derived from the input stream) and its throughput while running. To replay a plain video file, the simpler :doc:`VIDEO
