Instantiate ffmpeg in looping mode.

Purpose

Uses fluent-ffmpeg to instantiate an ffmpeg proc in looping mode

Usage

const expect = require('expect.js');
const opts = { height: 100, width: 100, fps: 30 };
const command = ffmpegLoop('path/to/file', opts);
expect(command).to.be.ok();
expect(command.pipe).to.be.ok();
command.pipe(fs.createReadableStream(/*..*/));
/*..*/
command.kill();

API

module.exports(filename) ⇒ ⏏

Creates an ffmpeg command to loop a video. Note: All crop dimensions are for the original video size (not the output size).

Kind: Exported function Returns: A fluent ffmpeg process - has pipe() method.

Param	Type	Description
filename	string	path to video
opts.cropHeight	integer	crop height
opts.cropWidth	integer	crop width (width and height are required).
opts.cropX	integer	crop x (x and y are optional. If not set, the default is the center position of the video).
opts.cropY	integer	crop y
opts.fps	integer
opts.height	integer	output height
opts.loop	boolean	whether to loop the source clip (defaults to true)
opts.start	float	seek to this time before starting. Must be less
opts.inputDuration	float	if set we can use this to make sure we don't attempt to start after the end of the input file (ie. we can loop or repeat the last frame correctly rather than seg faulting).
opts.width	integer	output width than video length.

Note: To regenerate this section from the jsdoc run npm run docs and paste the output above.
