Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ffmpeg-ffprobe-static

Fork of ffmpeg-static that includes ffprobe.

Info

ffmpeg static binaries for Mac OSX, Linux, Windows and FreeBSD.

Supports macOS (64-bit and arm64), Linux (32 and 64-bit, armhf, arm64) and Windows (32 and 64-bit). The ffmpeg version currently used is 6.0.

Note: The version of ffmpeg-ffprobe-static follows SemVer. When releasing new versions, we do not consider breaking changes in ffmpeg itself, but only the JS interface (see below). To stop ffmpeg-ffprobe-static from breaking your code by getting updated, lock the version down or use a lockfile.

npm version Actions Status minimum Node.js version

Installation

This module is installed via npm:

$ npm install ffmpeg-ffprobe-static

Note: During installation, it will download the appropriate ffmpeg binary from the b6.0 GitHub release. Use and distribution of the binary releases of FFmpeg are covered by their respective license.

Alternatively, it will fetch binaries from FFMPEG_FFPROBE_STATIC_BASE_URL if set as an environment variable. The default base URL is https://github.com/descriptinc/ffmpeg-ffprobe-static/releases/download/. The install script will fetch binaries from BASE_URL/binary-release-tag (the binary-release-tag is set in package.json and can customized by setting FFMPEG_BINARY_RELEASE).

Electron & other cross-platform packaging tools

Because ffmpeg-ffprobe-static will download a binary specific to the OS/platform, you need to purge node_modules before (re-)packaging your app for a different OS/platform (read more in #35).

Example Usage

Returns the path of a statically linked ffmpeg binary on the local filesystem.

var pathToFfmpeg = require('ffmpeg-ffprobe-static');
console.log(pathToFfmpeg);
/Users/j/playground/node_modules/ffmpeg-ffprobe-static/ffmpeg

Check the example script for a more thorough example.

Sources of the binaries

The build script downloads binaries from these locations:

The build script extracts build information and (when possible) the license file from the downloaded package or the distribution server. Please consult the individual build's project site for exact source versions, which you can locate based on the version information included in the README file.
