#4104 closed enhancement (fixed)

add strftime to segment muxer

Description

Since the documentation for the segment muxer says "Output filename pattern can be set in a fashion similar to image2." there should also be a strftime option for segment as well.
Being able to input the current time or day into a filename would be useful when using ffmpeg to record constant security video streams that need to be converted into segments for watchability.

    libavformat/segment.c: Add strftime expansion for segment filename templates
    
    Allows expansion of the filename template with strftime() with the option
    -strftime 1 (disabled by default). This allows segments to be named by time 
    creation, adding some flexibility.
