Install and configure FFmpeg and FFpeg-Php

There are two methods to install FFmpeg and FFmpeg-Php, their libraries, and modules:

  1. Using Yum on systems including Red Hat, CentOS, and Fedora Core.
  2. Manually, from source archives/packages

Method #1: Yum

*** Caution

  • You must remove all previous installation of FFmpeg and FFmpeg-Php, then follow installation instructions below.
  • Follow these steps (in that order):

First, make sure the following binary packages are installed on your server:

gcc, gcc4, gcc4-c++, gcc4-gfortran, gd, gd-devel, gmake, ImageMagick, ImageMagick-devel, libcpp, libgcc, libstdc++, make, ncurses, ncurses-devel, ruby, subversion

If any of these packages are missing, install them using Yum . For example:

  • yum install PACKAGE
  1. Install RPMForge Respository
    • rpm -Uhv ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/dag.wieers.com/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
  2. Install ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder with all supported libraries/modules
    • yum -y install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel mplayer mencoder flvtool2
  3. Manually, install FFmpeg-Php
    • cd /usr/local/src
    • wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2
    • tar jxvf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2
    • cd ffmpeg-php-0.6.0
    • phpize
    • ./configure
    • make
    • make install

If FFmpeg-Php is compiled successfully, an ffmpeg.so module will be generated and copied into the default Php directory. Next, run the following command to enable FFmpeg-Php. By running this command you will be adding ffmpeg.so module into the php.ini file:

echo ‘extension=ffmpeg.so’ >> /local_path_to_your/php.ini

Final step, restart apache

service httpd restart
OR
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

– Testing FFmpeg
Verify that FFmpeg is working properly by running the following two commands:

  • php -r ‘phpinfo();’ | grep ffmpeg

You will get a few lines similar to the following:

ffmpeg
ffmpeg-php version => 0.6.0-svn
ffmpeg-php built on => April  15 2010 15:31:45
ffmpeg-php gd support  => enabled
ffmpeg libavcodec version => Lavc51.62.0
ffmpeg libavformat version => Lavf52.18.0
ffmpeg swscaler => disabled
ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0
ffmpeg.show_warnings => 0 => 0

This is the second command to make sure that FFmpeg is working properly:

  • /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

If you do not get any errors after running the test commands above, FFmpeg, FFmpeg-Php, MPlayer, MEncoder, and FLV2tool are working properly on your server. CONGRATULATIONS!

Method #2: Source archives/packages

*** Caution

  • You must remove all previous installation of FFmpeg and FFmpeg-Php, then follow installation instructions below.
  • Follow these steps (in that order):

First, make sure the following binary packages are installed on your server:

If any of these packages are missing, install them using Yum . For example:

  • yum install PACKAGE

*** Caution

  • The following source packages are always updated with newer versions. You might experience technical issues if you download and install a newer/older version of any of these applications.
  • You must remove all previous installation of FFmpeg and FFmpeg-Php, then follow installation instructions below.
