Installing latest version of FFMPEG and FFPROBE on AWS ElasticBeanstalk via .ebextensions

gistfile1.txt

Create a folder at the root of your app or project called ```.ebextensions```
Inside the folder ```.ebextensions``` create a file called ```01_ffmpeg.config```
Inside this file paste in the below contents:

```
commands:
  command1:
    command: ls
  command2:
    command: "cd /usr/local/bin"
  command3:
    command: "mkdir ffmpeg"
    cwd: /usr/local/bin
    ignoreErrors: true
  command4:
    command: "cd /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg"
  command5:
    command: "wget https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/releases/ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz"
    cwd: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
    ignoreErrors: true
  command6:
    command: "tar -xf ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz"
    cwd: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
    ignoreErrors: true
  command7:
    command: "ln -sfn /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-*-amd64-static/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg"
    cwd: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
    ignoreErrors: true
  command8:
    command: "ln -sfn /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-*-amd64-static/ffprobe /usr/bin/ffprobe"
    cwd: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
    ignoreErrors: true
```

4. add the folder and file you just created to your source versioning system via ```git add .ebextensions/```
5. Commit via ```git commit -m "install ffmpeg on AWS"```
6. Deploy to beanstalk via ```eb deploy```

Works like a charm! Thank you very much.

I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you this issue has kept me up all night and this worked perfectly.

@ewhalenkamp Haha! Glad you found it helpful. I have struggled for couple of days in installing the latest version of FFMPEG and FFPROBE from the right mirror with EBS.

@srameshr I did created this file absolutely the same but I got this error now (ffmpeg was killed with signal SIGSEGV) any idea why this is happening ?

this is the code I wrote

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { ffmpeg() .input(process.env.S3_BASE_URL + '/' + input) .screenshot({ timestamps: ['50%'], filename: name, folder: join('thumbnails'), }) .on('end', () => { resolve('ok'); }) .on('error', (err) => { reject(err); }); });

response:

Hi guys!

how to use after these installation?

Im using:

`<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$ffmpeg = FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create();

$video = $ffmpeg->open('movie.mov');

$format = new FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264();
$format->setAudioCodec("libmp3lame");

$video->save($format, 'movie.mp4');`

But it`s not working.

Thanks in advance!
