I turned the instructions into a ruby script. You can set if you want chromaprint or not and it takes care of the rest.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

def sys(cmd, *args, **kwargs)
  puts("\e[1m\e[33m#{cmd} #{args}\e[0m\e[22m")
  return system(cmd, *args, exception: true, **kwargs)
end

with_chromaprint = true

sys("brew", "uninstall", "--force", "--ignore-dependencies", "ffmpeg")
if with_chromaprint
  sys("brew", "install", "chromaprint", "amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk")
end
sys("brew", "tap", "homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg")
sys("brew", "install", "ffmpeg")
options = `brew options homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg`.split(/\n/).grep(/--with/)
unless with_chromaprint
  options = options.grep_v(/chromaprint/)
end
sys("brew", "upgrade", "homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg", *options)

None of the above worked for me... chromaprint is not found (even though brew installs it fine), ruby scripts fails with cryptic c++ errors etc.

@phdoerfler

@sarimarton Interesting! What if you change with_chromaprintto false?

@sarimarton

@phdoerfler Sorry, it might've been my mistake. It works now.

Here is what I get. I set with_chromaprint to false

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

def sys(cmd, *args, **kwargs)
  puts("\e[1m\e[33m#{cmd} #{args}\e[0m\e[22m")
  return system(cmd, *args, exception: true, **kwargs)
end

with_chromaprint = false

sys("brew", "uninstall", "--force", "--ignore-dependencies", "ffmpeg")
if with_chromaprint
  sys("brew", "install", "chromaprint", "amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk")
end
sys("brew", "tap", "homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg")
sys("brew", "install", "ffmpeg")
options = `brew options homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg`.split(/\n/).grep(/--with/)
unless with_chromaprint
  options = options.grep_v(/chromaprint/)
end
sys("brew", "upgrade", "homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg", *options)

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.libera.chat.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

If reporting this issue please do so at (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core):

Found this gist while googling FFmpeg enable-chromaprint on macOS as of 04/2023.

Wanted to verify that with combining the solutions of @zoharbabin and @raedatoui. You can very easily install FFmpeg from home-brew with additional options.

Machine:
2021 M1 MacBook Pro 14inch (M1 Pro)

brew uninstall --force --ignore-dependencies ffmpeg
brew install chromaprint amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk
brew tap homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg
brew install homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg --with-chromaprint

Did that work for you? I noticed that the built formula is under: /usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/6.0-with-options_1/bin/ffmpeg.

I noticed because if I run the command ffmpeg -muxers I do not see chromaprint, whereas if I point directly to /usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/6.0-with-options_1/bin/ffmpeg -muxers I can see it there.

@cellulosa
If you are referring to my instructions, then yes this works.

Running the command ffmped -muxers shows E chromaprint Chormaprint.

I do not however have a folder at the location /usr/local/Cellar since I did not have to compile the build from source.

@cellulosa

Cool, thanks! For some reason when I run these commands my main ffmpeg links to a non-build version (that is, without chromaprint) whereas the built version sits elsewhere. I am also discussing it here in case anybody else has the same issue.

@df-a thank you for the write up, super helpful!

One nit I would add:

git clone https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg

to

git clone --depth 1 https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg

to reduce downloaded artifacts from ~180mb to ~17mb

And I also had to update the .configure command to:

./configure  --prefix=/usr/local --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libopus --enable-libxvid --enable-chromaprint --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libaom --extra-ldflags=-L/opt/homebrew/lib --samples=fate-suite/ --extra-cflags=-I/opt/homebrew/include

To use homebrewed lame and other requirements. Otherwise I kept getting ERROR: libmp3lame >= 3.98.3 not found errors

Unfortunately all of this is not valid anymore and you'll need to follow these steps if you just want all options, even ones that you will never use !

brew tap homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg
brew install amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk
brew tap lescanauxdiscrets/tap
brew install lescanauxdiscrets/tap/zvbi
brew install homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg $(brew options homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg | grep -vE '\s' | grep -- '--with-' | grep -vi libflite | tr '\n' ' ')`

The only lib I could not install was libflite :

Flite is a small fast run-time speech synthesis engine. It is the latest addition to the suite of free software synthesis tools including University of Edinburgh's Festival Speech Synthesis System and Carnegie Mellon University's FestVox project, tools, scripts and documentation for building synthetic voices. However, flite itself does not require either of these systems to run.

I guess, it will be next time !
