ffmpeg errors are ignored and not shown #14

Closed Barteks2x closed 3 years ago

Barteks2x commented 4 years ago

Using gentoo, I didn't have v4l use flag enabled on ffmpeg so it was erroring with this:

[x11grab @ 0x562173462bc0] Cannot open display VGA1+0,0, error 5.
VGA1+0,0: Input/output error

but Mon2Cam didn't show any error

Currently the output of ffmpeg is piped into /dev/null. Instead the stderr should be put into a variable, and at the end of the script it should check if the variable is null or not. If not, then it should echo the error.

@ShayBox I could write this feature later, unless you want to work on it.

I thought I had it log if verbose was enabled, but I guess not, I won't be home for a while so work on it if you want

Added a verbose option to switch redirection output of ffmpeg https://github.com/ShayBox/Mon2Cam/commit/e842cf76408917870a8c0369cfe3ddf0994c8087
