Can I use ffmpeg-static?

haojia321 commented 6 years ago

Hi, If I use this package on my cloud server(which may not have ffmpeg installed on the linux server), so can I use ffmpeg-static instead? Something like this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ffmpeg-static

Did you figure it out?

This works fine with ffmpeg-static. You just need to set ffmpeg.bin to ffmpeg-static.path like the below in ES6.

import ffmpeg_static from 'ffmpeg-static'
import ffmpeg from 'ffmpeg'
ffmpeg.bin = ffmpeg_static.path

From here, you're free to use ffmpeg however you like.

@yaphper You need to install ffmpeg(the binary itself) before using a wrapper that eases making commands to ffmpeg.

@jens1o I cannot manage the cloud server so I cannot manually install anything on the server. when you say "ffmpeg binary", you mean i need to manually install it on the server, right?

you mean i need to manually install it on the server, right?

yeah. This is just a wrapper to make you more comfortable writing ffmpeg commands.

haojia321 commented 5 years ago

@jens1o do you know if there is any package that doesnt need manually install ffmpeg on the server? The cloud im using doesnt allow install software.

jens1o commented 5 years ago

Nope. Hosting the stuff yourself isn't an option, which would also benefit user privacy?

Zaphiruz commented 4 years ago

Had the same issue. video.js still has a hardcoded 'ffmpeg'

kodie commented 2 years ago

Just in case anyone else runs into this, I have made a fork that makes the ffmpeg executable configurable: #88
