Stream jpg? #94

Hi, I have a URL for a jpg (http://example.com/camera/id.jpg) that gets updated every few seconds. Is it possible to add it to the program? If so, what's the syntax?

Hi! If you find similar scenarios for ffplay, then we can try to adapt them for CCTV Viewer.

With ffplay itself I had no luck, even with loop 0 the image doesn't update.

This one works by creating a stream at 127.0.0.1:23000, then I can add this url to CCTV-viewer: ffmpeg -re -framerate 1 -loop 1 -f image2 -i "http://example.com/my.jpg" -c:v libx264 -r 25 -f flv udp://127.0.0.1:23000

Unfortunately, CCTV Viewer requires significant development to support this functionality. But this is an interesting case and I will add it to the TODO list.
