Does this package support URLs ?

[allMighto]

Below is my code for trying to retrieve a video from an url and saving it as an adio file on my local disk. but it has an Error on input file. Does it mean that this package does not support urls ?

try {
	var process = new ffmpeg("http://www.url.mp4");
	process.then(function (video) {
		// Callback mode
    console.log('video', video);
		video.fnExtractSoundToMP3('localpath.mp3', function (error, file) {
      console.log('files is', file);
      if (error) console.log(error);
			if (!error)
				console.log('Audio file: ' + file);
		});
	}, function (err) {
		console.log('Error: ' + err);
	});
} catch (e) {
	console.log(e.code);
	console.log(e.msg);
}

Also having this issue. I am using this to process files on an s3 bucket on an ec2 instance. I am creating a signed url to push to ffmpeg but am getting a 'Input file does not exist' error when I know this isn't the case.

Seems this package is abandoned, @damianociarla could you confirm us?

This package doesn't support URLs, it checks the file exists on local filesystem. https://github.com/damianociarla/node-ffmpeg/blob/master/lib/ffmpeg.js#L199-L201

There seems to be a PR #2 which solves this problem.
