[Support]: Http Api ffmpeg error : pipe:: Invalid data found when processing input

Describe the problem you are having

Hello,

i’m trying to get a mp4 clip from timestamp with http APi. this api endpoint is not documented, but it is implemented in that file http.py

Here’s my call http://my-ip:5000/api/mast/start/1633672800/end/1633672920/clip.mp4

and the FFmpg error :

[2021-10-08 11:13:08] frigate.http                   ERROR   : ffmpeg version 4.3.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2020 the FFmpeg developers

I’ve record in media path for that period.

Can we use that api point?

Any though about this error?

I would try using the VOD endpoints instead. That won’t require assembling a mp4 in cache and should work better.

Ok, i haven’t no retain in records, seem it’s now ok. I’ll close it, and sorry for disturbance
