Title: Read metadata from streamed (RTP/RTSP) video
Post by: Pépito7126 on September 19, 2020, 09:37:31 AM
Hello,

Can exiftool extract metadata in real time from a streamed video ? (Like RTP/RTSP). I don't have a file but a link.

Best regards

Exiftool doesn't have the ability to connect to the internet, so you can't just give it the link.  You could try piping the output from another program (FFmpeg maybe?) to see if it can do so.  See this example (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#curl--s-http:-a.domain.com-bigfile.jpg-exiftool--fast) which pipes the output from cURL into exiftool.
