installing FFmpeg and other codec for streaming server

bdspice

Hi, i tried to follow https://hivelocity.net/kb/how-to-install-ffmpeg-mplayer-mencoder-mp4box-flvtool2-and-all-their-libraries/ to make a streaming script like AVS working on vps. but when i tried >./configure –enable-gpl –enable-version3 –enable-nonfree –enable-shared –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libx264 –enable-libfaac –enable-libvorbis –enable-libopencore-amrnb>
its showing error " unknown option "-enable-gpl" see ./configure --help for available options. i searched google but nothing found. any body here to help me?

willie

The flags all begin with two hyphens not a dash, like

--enable-gpl

happybee

You have to use the following instead :-

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --enable-shared --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264 --enable-libfaac --enable-libvorbis --enable-libopencore-amrnb

yasm not found, use --disable-yasm for crippled build.
This error is showing. Still not working. yasm is installed through the tutorial.
@happybee @willie

@bdspice

apt-get install yasm pkg-config

teamacc

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide

is a pretty good start

AVS new version no longer need other coders. It only need ffmpeg 3.x up

lonea

Use the ready-made binaries instead.

You can also try to compile yasm from source. Yasm is an assembler and disassembler for the Intel x86 architecture. It can be used to write 16-bit, 32-bit (IA-32) and 64-bit (x86-64) programs.

cd /usr/local/src wget http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz tar zfvx yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz cd yasm-1.2.0 ./configure && make && make install

yasm installed but nasm needed. btw https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ working good. so i just reinstall os and trying with this

@hammer Your job has been done.

@WSS
What did I do to you?

Nothing; @bdspice used you to handle his pooched ffmpeg.

bdspice

@wss @hammer sorry buddies. its not done. while i use the ffmpeg static build from https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ its showing installed but after installation, i tried "ffmpeg -version" its showing command not found.so i tried "locate ffmpeg" its showing no ffmpeg installed. @lonea did you install ffmpeg use this link ever?

WSS

It's in whatever directory you unarchived it in.

lonea

Since it doesn't install onto your system. You just call the static ffmpeg with an absolute path.

hammer

Perhaps I am a lazy dude but I would try to first install it from a package manager like apt-get, pacman, etc.

I suspect many have ffmpeg.

bdspice

@WSS said:

yes. its in /usr/local/src/
where should i mv it now? and i dont want to call the static ffmpeg with an absolute path.
because i dont know much about these things.

hammer

@bdspice
Couldn't you make a symlink from the binary to the usr bin directory?

bdspice

no. i dont know much about linux. you can give me codes. then i will try. my installed ffmpeg is in /usr/local/src

willie

If you built from source, run "make install" and it should put it in /usr/local/bin unless you configured to put it somewhere else.

I think he untarred the prebuilt archive into /usr/local/src

@bdspice put ffmpeg into /usr/local/bin, 755, owned by root.root, root.wheel, whatever's common in your distribution, and model into /usr/local/share/model if you want to use the vmaf filters. It's optional, but smart to keep the manpages somewhere for your use, since they're not actual manpages, but pdfs/text files.

E: This guy statically linked glibc so that ffmpeg can't do DNS resolution. It's going to be of limited usability.

thanks. after tried all nothing worked. lastly moving ffmpeg into /usr/bin worked.
Still its useless. cause tried a simple php ffmped code from here showing Permission denied on test.php page.

willie

That sounds like the php interpreter or script is itself not marked executable. You might be better off getting some help in person from a web dev. Using a forum to walk through this configuration stuff is much slower because of the longer turnaround between posts and because we can't see everything that's happening. You could also try the freenode #php and #ffmpeg channels. What OS distro are you using? I don't think that's come up here yet.

WSS

To be as polite as possible- you're so far above your head that you have virtually no hope of making this work until you understand basic filesystem hierarchy, paths, the executable flag, and how to call a binary on the command line.

Anything you do with this is likely to be a huge security concern. You should ask for further assistance with accomplishing your goal. This might be a great task for Fiverr.

bdspice

@willie @wss my os is centos 7. wss thanks, now i now basic filesystem hierarchy,paths.
As i work as a web developer for last 11years,i never use ffmpeg to convert media,thats why i am totally new for this.but i understand php enough to work. and i care about security concern also.

Statically linking glibc does not necessarily disable DNS (and other names) resolution, and in this case, this guy apparently understands what he is doing and his static ffmpeg do perform DNS resolution.

use docker? https://hub.docker.com/r/jrottenberg/ffmpeg/ just trail your ffmpeg command off the end of the docker run cmd

This guy is having problems getting nginx+php7 installed. Are you trying to completely break his will?
