ffmpeg static binaries for Mac OSX and Linux and Windows

ffmpeg-static

ffmpeg static binaries for Mac OSX and Linux and Windows

Installation

This module is installed via npm:

$ npm install ffmpeg-static

Example Usage

Returns the path of a statically linked ffmpeg binary on the local filesystem.

var ffmpeg = require('ffmpeg-static');
console.log(ffmpeg.path);
// /Users/eugeneware/Dropbox/work/ffmpeg-static/bin/darwin/x64/ffmpeg

Currently supports Mac OS X (64-bit), Linux (32 and 64-bit) and Windows (32 and 64-bit).

Currently version 3.1 is installed for Mac and Linux, and 3.0.1 for Windows.

I pulled the versions from the ffmpeg static build pages linked from the official ffmpeg site. Namely:

• 64 bit Mac OSX
• 64 bit Linux
• 32 bit Linux
• 64 bit Windows
• 32 bit Windows

NB: Open to pull requests to update this module with the latest versions.

Ideally I'd like to dynamically pull the latest version down, but this requires access to 7-zip which and being able to untar xz files.

And I couldn't find a good js-only decoders for these files either.

So, for now it's just embedded binaries.
