Building FFmpeg on Linux

Overview

This guide aims to Mesin Cuci Panasonic Terbaru provide the details on building the latest version of FFmpeg from source on Linux (as well as some other important dependencies) with the aim to provide the best support for Serviio; it is adapted from this guide and assumes that APT is the package manager of choice. This can likely be adapted to build FFmpeg on Windows using Cygwin or MinGW.

Updates

26th March 2013

Build Procedure

The below process is written by Serviio users Harga Toshiba 1 Tabung. It will replace all existing libraries and tools with the new ones.

You can also follow a guide supplied by FFmpeg developers themselves, which will instead build ffmpeg in an isolated location. If you do this, you will need to use the ffmpeg.location system property to tell Serviio which ffmpeg binary to use e.g. add

Remove Existing Versions of Packages

The first step to ensuring a good install of FFmpeg is to remove any exisiting installations of the libraries and utilities which will be built from source throughout this guide to ensure that there are no conflicts which can lead to problems which are difficult to diagnose:

500MB of software when running the command above, remove librtmp0 from the command above and re-run it.

Install Essential Build Tools and Libraries

There are several tools and libraries required to build the software in this guide. Much of this software should be available in the repositories for your Linux distribution and can be installed this way:

Yasm is an assembler and is recommended for x264 and FFmpeg. Version 1.3 is required to build the latest x264 and FFmpeg sources.

Build and Install x264

x264 is one of the most popular implementations of the H.264 video compression algorithm which is used to compress video on blu-ray discs and is often the codec of choice for distributing high definition content on the internet. FFmpeg supports using the x264 library to compress video content.

x264 is required for streaming to iOS devices using MediaBrowser, and for the Enhanced profile option in ServiiGo.

To acquire and build x264, perform the following:

NOTE: New version of x264 contains by default support of OpenCL. If not installed or without sense (example Ubuntu 12.04LTS on VMWare) add to configure additional option –disable-opencl.

Without this option ffmpeg could not be configured (ERROR: libx264 not found).

Build and Install librtmp

librtmp provides support for the RTMP content streaming protocol developed by Adobe and commonly used to distribute content to flash video players on the web. FFmpeg supports using the librtmp library to stream content from RTMP sources. To acquire and build librtmp, perform the following:

Build and Install FFmpeg

It is now time to build FFmpeg:

To use the lastest version of ffmpeg

Else, to use the version that Serviio ships with

Optional Libraries

Additional libraries that aren’t used by Serviio. You may want them if you use other software that uses ffmpeg.

Build and Install libvpx

libvpx is an emerging open video compression library which is gaining popularity for distributing high definition video content on the internet. FFmpeg supports using the libvpx library to compress video content (although Serviio does not). To acquire and build libvpx, perform the following:

Now rebuild ffmpeg by following the above steps except add

to the long ./configure command

Add Additional Support to x264 (Lavf)

Now that FFmpeg is built and installed, it is a good idea to re-configure and rebuild x264 to add additional functionality; see here for more information:

Conclusion

At this point, FFmpeg is installed and Serviio should now use the newly built version. Please visit the forum if you need Cara Membersihkan Mesin Cuci assistance with this guide.

How to Install FFmpeg in Linux

FFmpeg is one of the best multimedia frameworks that contains various tools for different tasks. For example, the ffplay is a portable media player that can be used to play audio/video files, ffmpeg can convert between different file formats, ffserver can be used to stream live broadcasts and ffprobe is able to analyze multimedia stream.

This framework is really powerful due to the diversity of available tools, that provide the best technical solution for the user. According to the description of FFmpeg on the official website, the reason for having such a great multimedia framework is the combination of the best free software options available.

The FFmpeg framework offers high security and the reason for this is the seriosity of the developers when they review the code, it is always done with security in mind.

I am very sure you will find this framework very useful when you would like to do some digital audio and video streaming or recording. There are many other practical things that you can do with the help of the FFmpeg framework such as converting your wav file to an mp3 one, encode and decode your videos, or even scale them.

According to the official website, FFmpeg is able to do the following.

• decode multimedia files
• encode multimedia files
• transcode multimedia files
• mux multimedia files
• demux multimedia files
• stream multimedia files
• filter multimedia files
• play multimedia files

Let me take an example, a very simple one. The following command will convert your mp4 file into an avi file, simple as that.

The above command is only useful for explanation, it is not recommended to be used in practice because the codec, bitrate, and other specifics are not declared.

In the next part, we will practice with some of the FFmpeg multimedia framework tools, but before doing that we have to install them in our Linux box.

How to Install FFmpeg Multimedia Framework in Linux

Since the FFmpeg packages are offered for the most used Linux distributions and the installation will be relatively easy. Let’s start with the installation of the FFmpeg framework in Ubuntu-based distributions.

Install FFmpeg on Ubuntu and Linux Mint

I will install FFmpeg from the default repositories. Open a new terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and then run the following commands.

Install FFmpeg on Debian

The FFmpeg package is included in the official Debian repositories and can be installed using the package manager as shown.

Install FFmpeg on CentOS and RHEL

To install FFmpeg on CentOS and RHEL distributions, you need to enable EPEL and RPM Fusion repository on the system using the following commands.

To install and enable EPEL, use the following command.

To install and enable RPM Fusion, use the following command on your distribution version.

After enabling repositories, run the following command to install FFmpeg:

Install FFmpeg on Fedora

On Fedora, you need to install and enable RPM Fusion to install FFmpeg as shown.

Install FFmpeg on Arch Linux

Install FFmpeg on openSUSE

FFmpeg Compiling from Source

Compiling software from a source is not the easiest thing in the world, but with the right instructions, we will be able to do it. First, make sure your system meets all the dependencies. The installation of these dependencies can be done with the help of the following commands.

First, tell the system to pull down the latest packages.

Install the dependencies with the following command.

Then use the following command to create a new directory for the FFmpeg sources. This is the directory where the source files will be downloaded.

Now compile and install yasm assembler used by FFmpeg by running the following commands.

After you have successfully installed the yasm assembler it is time to install some various encoders that will be used with the specific FFmpeg tools. Use the following commands to install the H.264 video encoder.

Another nice useful encoder is the libfdk-aac AAC audio encoder.

Install libopus audio decoder and encoder.

Now, it’s time to install ffmpeg from the source.

Note: If you have not installed certain encoders, make sure to remove ‘–enable-encoder_name‘ from the above ‘./configure‘ command so the installation is done without any problem.

There are many encoders that you can install, but fur the purpose of this article I am not going to install all of them, but you can install them using the following official guides.

Conclusion

In this first part, we updated our readers with the latest news according to the FFmpeg multimedia framework and showed them how to install it on their Linux machines. The next part will be totally about learning how to use the amazing tools inside this leading multimedia framework.

Update: Part 2 of this FFmpeg series is published, which shows some useful ffmpeg command-line usage to perform various audio, video, and image conversion procedures: 15 Useful ‘FFmpeg’ Commands for Video, Audio and Image Conversion in Linux.
