Hi to all, thanks again for the great job you're doing and for sharing it.
Using the ffmpeg-spawn node I even need to have a base64 string. I tryed to convert the output with the relative base64 node, but it's not recognized. I even test on some online tools, but nothing. At this point I checked with the base64 images I already have and they're ok. So the toll works well. Even getting the image from IP camera --> exec node --> base64 it's ok.
There is something that I miss on the ffmpeg-spawn or its buffer output cannot be converted in base64 string?
@Lupin_III I've moved your post to its own thread, as it was off-topic where you originally posted it.

Ok thanks. I thought it was better not to open a new topic and post directly on a one related to the node' owner. Sorry

i can guess that the exec node was in exec mode, allowing the single jpeg to be buffered and then output when the process exited. ffmpeg-spawn only runs in spawn mode and not exec mode, hence you will have to handle the output differently. I deliberately named it ffmpeg-spawn because I only plan on supporting spawn mode at this time, which is ideal for streaming. Although, it may evolve in time and support exec mode since I am now doing things with it that were not originally planned. Gonna need a name change on the node.
Of course, that is just a guess. If you give a screenshot or flow, then I can give a solution. I have no trouble outputting jpegs. I am also assuming that you want to output jpegs, but not sure.
Also, are you sure that you need to convert to base64? That is not actually necessary for a jpeg to be shown in the browser. It can handle an arraybuffer just fine with a little magic. Converting to base64 will make it a larger size to transmit.

Thanks Kevin.
No, everything work great and perfectly with node-red, camera, dashboard. Really great.
Now what I would like to do is to sent the image over mqtt so that I can use them in a simpe html with java script and I was making some test. If I have a simple base64 string I'm able to do it with paho-mqtt js. I will just convert the base64 into jpeg for example and show it. And since I already use all your nodes I wold like to try a solution with them. At the moment I'm able to test my idea with the exec node in spawn mode.
Maybe my approach is not that good, so every help, suggestion is more then welcome.
Practically I have node-red where everything works great and I just use your nodes. Now I want to show the image as streaming outside in a simple html and I can do it over mqtt. I've seen it's possible using some library in Javascript to directly receive messages from mqtt and show them by simply converting in jppeg. In this way, using a simple base64 string, I've seen even the messages' size remain low for the mqtt transfer.
One more detail that can help to understand better what I'm trying. On node-red I have a continuous ip camera streaming flow. From outside, when I need, trough mqtt I would like to get a copy of this streaming on the fly usable within an html (no node-red instance running on this html host)
@Kevin, I remember once you explained that it's mandatory to get the first piece of code in order to utilize the upcoming buffers (the initialization data). To make it works as I am trying, do you think it could help If I store this initialization data so that the buffer streaming is immediately usable when received? I'm trying it but with no result 
Sorry @kevinGodell, any newson how I can gate base64 output data from your node?
Are you trying to occasionally create a single jpeg from the mp4 buffer output of node-red-contrib-mp4frag?
And then you want to base64 encode the jpeg buffer before sending it via mqtt?
If yes to the first question, then you can trigger the mp4 buffer output by sending a command msg to node-red-contrib-mp4frag and then receive that in a node-red-contrib-ffmpeg-spawn node which will process the mp4 buffer and transcode a jpeg. see this post and check out the shared flow showing ffmpeg-spawn --> mp4frag --> ffmpeg-spawn --> pipe2jpeg.
If yes to the second question, I am not sure how you convert buffer to base64 string. There is probably a node for that.
Thanks @kevinGodell, yes the second I need to send a base64 string. Yes there is node to convert into base64, but it seems that your buffer from the spawn node is not what it expects. I am able to do it with exec node in spawn mode, as you can see from the previous post. https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/nodered/original/3X/8/5/85307a28cb21ce1f5e3de6b28632e40a0243f375.png
For a quick test you can copy paste the converted base64 string here Best Online Base64 to Image Decoder / Converter. At the moment I'm fine with the flow I shared using exec node, but I would like to avoid another process running on the pi and just use your nodes. I'll try with all the output, but from no one buffer I can return an image
Please post the flow with the working exec node and the flow with the non-working ffmpeg-spawn node. Don't forget to hide any passwords that may be used in the video's url.
Thanks Kevin.
This is what is working. The base64 payload output can be converted into an image with no problem

Well, you are not piping the image data to pipe 4.
Try this code in the ffmppeg-spawn node

Maybe you posted the wrong flow? The exec node and ffmpeg-spawn are not being given the same command, which explains why you are not getting the same output.
@krambriw's recommendation will add jpeg output in addition to the existing mp4 video output. It also includes a filter that only uses input iframes and is scaled down to 1/4 the size of the input to reduce some cpu load.

Ok thanks, I understand. No I wanted to use the same process already used for mp4. I wanted to avoid to start another process, and just used the same stream.
Thanks so much
Last thing. Always in order to have just one process running per camera, it is possible to use just the main camera stream as ffmpeg-spawn node input and then pass it as it is (as high quality I mean) to the mp4frag, and reduce its quality for the image2pipe? Because for the image2pipe the substream video from the camera could be enough
