    /usr/bin/ffmpeg \
        -i "http://$ADDR/play/$ID" \

        -f image2 "/tmp/$ID.png" &
    sleep 60s && kill -9 $!
    IMG=$(cat /tmp/$ID.png | base64)
    echo "{\"cmd\":\"set-stream-image\", \"id\":\"$ID\", \"url\":\"data:image/png;base64,$IMG\"}" | curl -X POST -d "@-" --user "$AUTH" "http://$ADDR/control/"
