I have external programs such as ffmpeg and gstreamer running in the background and writing to a log file. I want to display the contents of this log with my Flask application, so that the user can watch the log update, like tail -f job.log
would do in the terminal.
I tried to use <object data="/out.log" type="text/plain">
to point at the log file, but that failed to show the data, or the browser told me I needed a plugin.
How can I embed and update the log file in an HTML page?
