[FFmpeg-devel] is it possible that avfilter graph updates its setting in realtime?

Wrong list for usage.

Have a look at the zmq filter. I gave an example here:
http://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2016-September/033776.html

It seems it doesn't actually work for the fps filter (patch perhaps
welcome).

Good luck,
Moritz

P.S.: Syntax for two parameters: Something like
      echo 'Parsed_scale_1 width 600 height 400' | tools/zmqsend
P.P.S.: I recall some patch for actually changing the filter *graph*
      (i.e. chain(s)) during runtime, don't know where, or what
      happened.
