Package Exports

@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

node-ffmpeg-installer

Platform independent binary installer of FFmpeg for node projects. Useful for tools that should "just work" on multiple environments.

Installs a binary of ffmpeg for the current platform and provides a path and version. Supports Linux, Windows and Mac OS/X.

A combination of package.json fields optionalDependencies, cpu, and os let's the installer only download the binary for the current platform. See also "Warnings during install", below.

Install

npm install --save @ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg

Usage examples

const ffmpeg = require('@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg');
console.log(ffmpeg.path, ffmpeg.version);

process.spawn()

const ffmpegPath = require('@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg').path;
const spawn = require('child_process').spawn;
const ffmpeg = spawn('ffmpeg', args);
ffmpeg.on('exit', onExit);

fluent-ffmpeg

const ffmpegPath = require('@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg').path;
const ffmpeg = require('fluent-ffmpeg');
ffmpeg.setFfmpegPath(ffmpegPath);

Warnings during install

To automatically choose the binary to install, optionalDependencies are used. This currently outputs warnings in the console, an issue that is tracked by the npm team here.
