command not correct working
ffmpeg -i ​http://xxx:xxx@192.168.5.127/mjpg/video.mjpg -vf "drawbox=10:20:200:200:red@0.8" ​http://localhost:8090/feed.ffm

command correct working:
ffmpeg -i ​http://xxx:xxx@192.168.5.127/mjpg/video.mjpg -vf "drawbox=10:20:200:200:red@0.8" /home/out.flv

ie filter works fine for output to a file, but does not work when output to a stream
thank you

Is this only reproducible with network input or also with file input?

In both cases.
For example:
not working ffmpeg -i /home/video.flv -vf "drawbox=10:20:200:200:red@0.8" ​http://localhost:8090/feed.ffm
is working ffmpeg -i /home/video.flv -vf "drawbox=10:20:200:200:red@0.8" /home/box.flv

I think it's because of a network video stream output.

But don't you agree that file input would allow us to reproduce the issue?
While http://xxx.xxx is not something that will work for any developer who wants to fix your problem.

ffm → ffserver; AFAIK ffserver doesn't support filters. I thought we had a ticket opened for that though.

For example with working camera
ffmpeg -i rtmp://video1.earthcam.com/earthcamtv/Stream1 ​http://localhost:8090/feed.ffm

Thanks for the answer. Can you advise an alternative to ffmpeg to organize OSD (On Screen Display) system in linux

[taeuber]

why is the component changed to ffserver?
I think the filter should be applied in ffmpeg before sending to ffserver.

I can reproduce this with recent git master (June 2016) with audio filters not being applied.

Thanks

ffserver was removed from git master, closing bug as invalid
