Subject: [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat: Add strftime_mkdir command line parameter to segment muxer
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 23:23:15 +0100
Message-ID: <9e02b1d1-16e5-483c-a7a5-99a2385bc0c6@emresimsirli.com> (raw)

Adds strftime_mkdir parameter so that the parent directories defined in 
the segment name are correctly created. This makes the strftime 
functionality in 'segment' consistent with 'hls'.
