Download binary files for ffmpeg, ffprobe, ffserver and ffplay
You can grab what you need from the Downloads page, use the HTTP API or the Node.js module.
Binaries are available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Components availability
Please consult Downloads page for availability of components.
ffplay
For example to use ffplay on Linux you'll have to stick to version 3.2 and even then it's available only for x86 and x86-64 platforms.
ffserver
ffserver has been deprecated and removed by the FFmpeg team in version 4.0.
Want to help?
I will be looking into compiling the binaries myself in the long term to provide full coverage of components as well as versions with and without proprietary codecs.
Get in touch via this repo's issues or pull requests if you'd like to help.
