I'm trying to get a plugin script to run that relies on ffmpeg & ffprobe.  Can anyone help me get ffmpeg set up on my UnRaid server?

 

You can try downloading the slackware package  http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/ffmpeg/pkg64/current/ffmpeg-2.8-x86_64-1alien.txz

 

Not sure if unRaid v6 still supports tossing txz's into /boot/packages for installation upon boot, so you may need to issue a installpkg command within /boot/config/go

I tried that. There are a billion dependencies for ffmpeg. If I still have the package list I'll report back.

 

Edit: I believe this was for 6.2 and slackware current

alsa-lib-1.1.0-x86_64-3.txz*    libXrandr-1.5.0-x86_64-1.txz*

ffmpeg-2.8-x86_64-1alien.txz*    libXrender-0.9.9-x86_64-1.txz*

fontconfig-2.11.1-x86_64-2.txz*  libXv-1.0.10-x86_64-2.txz*

freetype-2.6.3-x86_64-1.txz*    libogg-1.3.2-x86_64-1.txz*

harfbuzz-1.2.4-x86_64-1.txz*    libtheora-1.1.1-x86_64-1.txz*

libX11-1.6.3-x86_64-2.txz*      libvorbis-1.3.5-x86_64-1.txz*

libXau-1.0.8-x86_64-2.txz*      libxcb-1.11.1-x86_64-1.txz*

libXdmcp-1.1.2-x86_64-2.txz*    sdl-1.2.15-x86_64-3.txz*

libXext-1.3.3-x86_64-2.txz*      svgalib-1.9.25-x86_64-3.txz*

 

There seems to be a lot of differences between slack 14.1 and current as well.  Think I've mentioned before that a lot of the packages to compile the kernel changed, might be the same with ffmpeg.

Just to be sure you are not trying to solve a problem that doesn't actually exist, are you sure a docker does not already cover what you are trying to do?

not sure if there's a docker solution.  At the moment I'm still using plugin's (phAze's specifically).  But the specific issue is to demux & remux an mkv file to mp4 without any transcoding.

 

 

handbrake?

Nope.  I don't need anything transcoded.  I just need it remuxed into a different container.  Handbrake won't do that.

It can.

 

Ok I'll be a little bit more helpful.

 

Just set everything to pass though, and turn the logarithmic slider all the way down, and it's basically just a remux.

 

Handbrake is basically just a GUI for FFMPEG anyway.

1) not sure which control is the "logarithmic slider",

2) not sure how I'd incorporate this into a script, and

3) not sure how I'd get HB installed on unRaid.

 

But still, I appreciate the suggestion.  I'll do some looking into it.

 

Check my previous post for the list of packages you'll need.
