fmonts / ffmpeg-bundle

Symfony bundle to provide PHP-FFmpeg as a Symfony service. Forked to support Symfony 5 and Symfony 6

Symfony FFmpeg bundle

This bundle provides a simple wrapper for the PHP_FFmpeg library, exposing the library as a Symfony service.

This fork adds Symfony4, Symfony5 and Symfony6 support and drops legacy Symfony2/3 and PHP5 support

Set up the bundle

0. Install FFmpeg and find out where the binaries are located. Example on Ubuntu/Debian:

$ sudo apt install ffmpeg
$ whereis ffmpeg
# outputs: ffmpeg: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
$ whereis ffprobe
# outputs: ffmpeg: /usr/bin/ffprobe

1. Create the required configuration in a yaml file, such as config/packages/dubture_f_fmpeg.yaml:

dubture_f_fmpeg:
  ffmpeg_binary: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
  ffprobe_binary: /usr/bin/ffprobe
  binary_timeout: 300 # Use 0 for infinite
  threads_count: 4
  temporary_directory: /var/ffmpeg-tmp

Note: The temporary_directory key is only used for writing two-pass logs.

2. Require the bundle with composer:

$ composer require fmonts/ffmpeg-bundle

Usage

class VideoController extends AbstractController
{
    public function resize(FFMpeg $FFMpeg): Response
    {
        // Open video
        $video = $FFMpeg->open('/your/source/folder/input.avi');
        
        // Resize to 1280x720
        $video
          ->filters()
          ->resize(new Dimension(1280, 720), ResizeFilter::RESIZEMODE_INSET)
          ->synchronize();
        
        // Start transcoding and save video
        $video->save(new X264(), '/your/target/folder/video.mp4');
    }
}
