Buildpack for ffmpeg

This project is a Scalingo buildpack for using ffmpeg in your project.

It doesn't do anything else, you have to use it alongside another buildpack thanks to the multi-buildpack.

This buildpack provides a static build of the 2.8 version of FFmpeg downloaded from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

Usage

Setup the multi-buildpack

To use this buildpack, you should prepare .buildpacks file that contains this buildpack url and your real buildpack url.

$ cat .buildpacks
https://github.com/Scalingo/ffmpeg-buildpack.git
https://github.com/Scalingo/go-buildpack.git 

The first buildpack will install FFmpeg, the second will handle the deployment of your go application. For any other technology, go to http://doc.scalingo.com/buildpacks/

Setup your application configuration

$ scalingo env-set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/Scalingo/multi-buildpack.git
$ git push scalingo master
...

You can verify installing ffmpeg by following command.

$ scalingo run "ffmpeg -version"

Need of ffprobe?

Define the following environment variable and we'll install the binary ffprobe alongside ffmpeg

WITH_FFPROBE=true

Do it through Scalingo's dashboard or with their command line tool:

scalingo env-set WITH_FFPROBE=true
