Install FFMPEG through YUM. Fastest way for CentOS/cPanel Users

[firemax]

Ok, Get ready. start putty & login to your server as root.

--------------------------------------------------------
1. First we will have to install the DAG RPM repositories which contains huge amount of rpm packages. It’s very easy

run:

# nano -w /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo

Insert :

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

Then Click 'Ctrl+O' , after 'Ctrl+X'.

----------------------------------------------------------

2. Then save the repo file also you can update RPM through rpmforge:

if you have CentOS 32 Bit (i386), run :

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

if you have CentOS 64 Bit (x86_64), Run :

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS//rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

----------------------------------------------------------

3. Now we need to update yum database:

run:

yum update

-----------------------------------------------------------

4. Install FFMPEG

run:

yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel

-----------------------------------------------------------

5. Install FFMPEG PHP Extension

run:

cd /usr/local/src

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php/0.6.0/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2?use_mirror=nchc

tar -xjf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2

phpize

./configure

make

make install

-------------------------------------------------------------

6. Add FFMPEG extension to php.ini file

run:

 nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Put the below two lines at the end of the php.ini file

[ffmpeg]
extension=ffmpeg.so

ok, Then Click 'Ctrl+O' , after 'Ctrl+X' and restart apache.for restart apache, run:

service httpd restart

--------------------------------------------------------------

if you want to install additional tools like mencoder / flvtools2

for install men coder, run:

yum install mplayer mencoder

for install flvtool2, run:

yum install flvtool2

--------------------------------------------------------------
Check your phpinfo file for verify the ffmpeg php installation.

That's all. good luck!

Nice. Thanks. I think Ubuntu is easier than CentOS and also better.

[soul_reaper]

thanks mate ,very useful :D
a simple way is to ask your server provider if they will install ,mine was installed for free ,i just ask :D

[metulj]

Nice. Thanks. I think Ubuntu is easier than CentOS and also better.

I agree that Ubuntu is a lot easier,
but surely not better than CentOS

[ReazulIqbal]

May be. But i am very happy with ubuntu. I come to know that now-a-days many people are using Ubuntu instead of CentOS.

[bigste]

It was going well until just near the end ???

I was liking the step-by-step guide but I started going 'off menu' around the phpize area and then it all went downhill from there.
I had to add a few extra bits into the mix, on the fly, but I don't know what these errors are telling me. They just seem to be coding complaints. Any ideas?

the phpinfo didn't come up with anything so I'm guessing they are fairly critical.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I went on to do the rest of the commands, mplayer and ffmpeg worked out OK.

[firemax]

Ok bigste , go to the directory which you've extract ffmpeg-php package. ma be "cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php* " command will do that.

you need to modify the file: ffmpeg_frame.c and replace every instance of PIX_FMT_RGBA32 with PIX_FMT_RGB32
Using Linux text editor, vi run the following commands:

vi ffmpeg_frame.c

then use the below syntax to search & replace the string. (press 'ESC' on your keyboard & paste following command)

:%s/PIX_FMT_RGBA32/PIX_FMT_RGB32

ok, press 'Enter' & press 'ESC' again & paste following comand

:wq!

great. hit 'Enter' again and run these commands to compile and install

./configure

make

make install

done. if no errors, go back to my previous post and do that step 6.

[ranjuck]

will it work in kilu.de?

[apple288]

hi there
i press ctrl+x at the end but it does not do anything. neither it shows any option for ctrl+x
