Are URL inputs supported?

[connorbo97]

In the CLI, ffmpeg can accept a URL as the input file

ffmpeg -i http://archive.org/download/athooPhahghookoaNg4o/A%20Life%20Among%20the%20Clouds%3A%20A%20NATURE%20Short%20Film-QI25c80h0WI-nomusic.mpeg4 -ss 8 -t 1 -vf fps=1 %d.jpg

However, when I try these arguments in ffmpeg.js, it doesn't recognize the protocol. Are URL inputs not supported? Am I inputting the arguments wrong?

const ffmpeg = require('ffmpeg.js');

ffmpeg({
  arguments: [
    '-i',
    'http://archive.org/download/athooPhahghookoaNg4o/A%20Life%20Among%20the%20Clouds%3A%20A%20NATURE%20Short%20Film-QI25c80h0WI-nomusic.mpeg4',
    '-ss',
    '8',
    '-t',
    '1',
    '-vf',
    'fps=1',
    '%d.jpg',
  ],
  print: function (data) {
    stdout += data + '\n';
  },
  printErr: function (data) {
    stderr += data + '\n';
  },
  onExit: function (code) {
    console.log('Process exited with code ' + code);
    console.log(stdout);
    console.log(stderr);
  },
});

The output is

Process exited with code 1

Did you mean file:http://archive.org/download/athooPhahghookoaNg4o/A%20Life%20Among%20the%20Clouds%3A%20A%20NATURE%20Short%20Film-QI25c80h0WI-nomusic.mpeg4?

Hey, you need to convert the video into an array buffer before passing to ffmpeg.js, e.g.:

      const vid = await fetch(url);
      const buffer = await vid.arrayBuffer();

      ffmpeg({
        MEMFS: [{ name: 'test.mp4', data: buffer }],
        arguments: [
          '-i',
          'test.mp4',
          ...
