Nohup not give expected output. Non-stop running process
Hello,
I am trying to make a bash script, I tested nohup but it did not help me.
My code is:

Code:
ffmpeg -i $input_url -c:v copy -c:a copy -listen 1 -f mpegts http://localhost:port/live/test

When I open it in VLC, it starts feeding my screen and I see bitrate values.
When I stop watching it, script ends but it does not go back to sleep mode.
To open it in VLC again, I need to run that command from terminal.
What I wish to accomplish is when the script ends, it should re-runs itself after killing reserved PID nr.

1.st attempt
Code:
nohup & ffmpeg -i $input -listen 1 -c:v copy -c:a copy -f mpegts http://localhost:port/live/test

2.nd attempt
Code:
nohup ffmpeg -i $input -listen 1 -c:v copy -c:a copy -f mpegts http://localhost:port/live/test &

Could you please let me know with which command I can make it running?

Thanks in advance
Boris

winff

WINFF(1)																  WINFF(1)

NAME

       winff - video and audio batch converter using ffmpeg

SYNOPSIS

       winff

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the winff command. This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation pdf format; see below.

       WinFF is a graphical user interface for the command line video converter ffmpeg. It runs ffmpeg from the command line. So, you just pick
       your files and it does the rest.

       WinFF doesn't actually convert any video files. It just runs ffmpeg. Therefore, It will convert any video file that ffmpeg will convert.
       Conversely, if ffmpeg will not convert the file, then WinFF will not either.

SEE ALSO

       For more details, you should have a look at the pdf manual, available at /usr/share/doc/winff/winff.pdf
