Add video file manually rather than fetching from camera about maskcam HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @collabnix,
thanks for your question! I see it's not covered in the README (although there are other input examples here)
You need to set MASKCAM_INPUT=file:///absolute/path/to/file. Note that it needs to be the full (not relative) path as seen from the container. You'll probably need to mount a docker volume binding the folder where the video is located. For example:

docker run ... -v /host/path/to/video/folder:/videos --env MASKCAM_INPUT=file:///videos/video.mp4 ...

Then copy the generated video file in the container, back to the /videos folder to see it from the host machine.
Hope this is useful!

It might be a silly question but the docker terminates as it completes the process. How to copy back the processed video back to host?

Actually it's a good question! I can think of two options for that:

• Run in development mode so that you can run the script manually as explained there, and then you can copy the resulting output_...mp4 video to the host volume.
• Change the default output path to a shared volume. Unfortunately there's not yet a config param to set the output folder, but you can change this line in the code.
