So you have to encode the file, leaving space for the header, and then write the header once you have finished. This would tally with the error message - in that ffmpeg would be trying to write the file and then seek back to the start of the file in order to write the header. Obviously if the file is 'stdout' it can't do this. In this case I can't see that writing 3gp to stdout could ever work. Which is a shame.

In which case we probably want this:

https://helix-server.helixcommunity.org/

I've had some experience with this and it's compatible with every mobile device I've used it with, but I've no idea if it could be integrated into a myth setup.
