that's not how it works
not with VPS'es either
Then it's false advertising
"I'm using the allocated resources by the hosting company, but they said "thats not how it works"
No it's not
Allocated is in the majority of cases higher compared to permitted long-term usage, so that you can boost, that's beneficial to everybody
It's false advertising if they say that you can use 2 cores, 24/7, for whatever purpose, and then you can't

Unfortunately Ffmpeg not available
VDS or dedi recommend for that
Wasm should be criminalized by the EU commission in the name of CPU energy efficiency, and put in jail. Along with its fatter nastier brother JavaShit. At least that's what my CPU fan screams every time I try to open FaceCrap.com™ and such.
So what is it that you are saying? You can't use ffmpeg on a shared hosting server or you can't use resources for a long period of time on a shared hosting server.
Make up your mind.
As far as I'm concerned nobody is running ffmpeg 24/7 on a website on a shared hosting server.
We can provide it.
It was an example of allocated resources not meaning that you can do whatever with said resources
MANY providers disallow bitcoin mining, even if running limited time and limited speed, for example. Activities as well can be not permitted
More details please
DM with your specific needs.
I just want to use it for only audio. Basically, add voice watermark to the beginning, middle and end of an mp3.
and you need ffmpeg for that? You can easily do this in programs like Audacity.
probably online too
I want to create a WordPress plugin with that function. I already created one using php and getid3 library but it's not as great as using ffmpeg.
i have a VDS but i use it very occasionally for ffmpeg video convert only. You can use my vds if you have a limited time conversation que. I have my own php webpage with ffmpeg convert code. You can use it also.
Upload ffmpeg binary yourself
No reasonable host will bat an eyelid at small amounts of audio transcoding
The FTP writable folder may not allow executable file.
The integrity protection policy may not allow launching an executable other than those with a fingerprint in the allowlist.
When I managed a college web server, I have at least one of these configured, to prevent malicious users.
Please send me more details 🙏
LOL, once again. Nobody is going to use ffmpeg 24/7.
So stop talking out of context.
mv ffmpeg php7.4-fpmharhar now it's just average wordpress
Yea, you could definitely do that on a slow shared server.
If you are going to run a batch that runs 24/7, might as well just do it locally on your computer. It'll be at least twice as fast.
idk why a lot of ppl say run this here don't run this there lol
you can run ffmpeg on shared hosting as long as you are paying for it i have seen way more dumb things waste server resources then a ffmpeg.
just download static build from https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ upload the executable file from your file manager/ftp and execute it via php exec or smth else.
some shared hosts have old kernel and it throws segfaults try this https://github.com/theraw/ffmpeg-v4-for-kernel-v2.6
use at your own risk, any cheap provider selling hosting with 4 cores will suspend you.
big providers that use cloudlinux and limit cpu usage will not care what you do with the resources that you pay for.
