I download the windows build added it to my path and it didn't work

I don't understand why yt-dlp versions are provided for macOS but not ffmpeg builds.

https://github.com/nanake/ffmpeg-tinderbox/ has a nightly builds from the ffmpeg repo,
along with nonfree libraries like hevc, libfdk-aac and decklink, it seems faster too.
anyone maintaining this repo can tell if there are additional fixed that were applied that are not part of the ffmpeg repo, so I'll suggest to add them to the other build?

In the past, most parts of the Windows API only had support for paths with a maximum length of 260 (I think) characters (more precisely, bytes, afaik).
Since Windows 10 version 1607, one can enable support for "Long Paths" (disabled by default, in Windows 10 at least), which then allows for much longer paths (with 255 characters per path segment, which I think is in line with Linux).
See e.g. the Microsoft docs for details.

yt-dlp/yt-dlp already supports Long Paths on Windows, if enabled, from what I understand.
However, FFmpeg unfortunately does not, yet. Because of that, operations involving it fail if the path is longer than 260 characters.
There have already been issues opened with this as the root problem, for example yt-dlp/yt-dlp#1995 and yt-dlp/yt-dlp#1273 (I also ran into this problem).

There is an FFmpeg issue/ticket open for it, but it doesn't seem to be getting much attention.

Since other projects using FFmpeg have run into the same issue, there are some(?) custom FFmpeg builds with a patch that adds Long Paths support. I've looked around a bit for this.
The repository for staxrip has some information:
staxrip/staxrip#338, wiki: Windows 10 long path support, wiki: ffmpeg.

From what it sounds like, only a manifest needs to be added/changed (for the build process?) for FFmpeg to work correctly with Long Paths? I'm not familiar with this, unfortunately. The custom build is linked on the wiki pages above, but there doesn't seem to be source code for it there.

I have briefly tried out the patched FFmpeg build provided there with yt-dlp, with a video that previously failed postprocessing due to the path being too long, and it worked fine, no more errors.

Would it be possible to incorporate this patch here, as well?

As in title.

The rationale for "detect it without config" is:

Normally, you have to set the path to ffmpeg in config.txt somehow. However, there are two issues with this.

1. If you install both yt-dlp and ffmpeg-for-yt-dlp using winget, you want them to just work, without having to mess around with them
2. Every time you install winget packages, the path might be different, because winget puts them in programmatically created paths that include stuff like, i don't know, package verison or whatever. I don't really know the logic there, but the path is weird. So you can't keep a dotfile for yt-dlp, and have to re-set it every time, and figuring out what it is is annoying
3. You want your dotfiles to include stuff you care about - holding a program's hand while it finds its optional dependencies isn't one of those things

Hello there,

As you can see, patch is being skipped entirely. A bug, perhaps?

FYI these links:

Lead to 404 pages.

Patch one is not applying on the master builds

EDIT: Actually, it appears that patch one was applied to master in FFmpeg/FFmpeg@cc5844d, so it can probably just be deleted

EDIT 2: Actually, it appears (I didn't look super closely) that all 5 patches were merged into master:
Patch 1-FFmpeg/FFmpeg@cc5844d
Patch 2-FFmpeg/FFmpeg@dfa062e
Patch 3-FFmpeg/FFmpeg@13350e8
Patch 4-FFmpeg/FFmpeg@c381f54
Patch 5-FFmpeg/FFmpeg@69364a0
In my opinion this repo should stay up though, so that all most yt-dlp users use the same builds, with the same codecs compiled, and we won't encounter any issues of people using ffmpeg lite etc. Also, this repo should stay up for when #26 gets merged

This won't work on Android with Termux right?

Which build should I use? I use 64-bit windows, so that narrows me down to 8, and apparently the GPL builds have more features, and I don't mind a stricter license, so that narrows me down to 4, but what is the difference between these 4?

win64-gpl-4.4
win64-gpl-shared-4.4
win64-gpl-shared
win64-gpl

Hi!

I'm wondering if that alphanumeric string gd38bf5e08e in the file name is a commit ID?

E.g, in ffmpeg-n7.0-7-gd38bf5e08e-win64-gpl-7.0.zip, is gd38bf5e08e the commit ID? Also, how can I use this ID to check out the commit history in the original FFmpeg and check what's been changed?

Thanks!

The download links for the Linux and Windows builds are down (example: https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds/releases/download/latest/ffmpeg-master-latest-linux64-gpl.tar.xz)

I am on Linux: how to use and what to run when you have ffmpeg installed from the repo?..

First of all: Thanks for the fork!
This isn't really an issue and more of a question.
I try to enable d3d11va hardware acceleration using the command

--postprocessor-args='-hwaccel d3d11va'

in the last line of the config-file.
But I only get an error

### ERROR: Postprocessing: Error opening output files: Invalid argument

I am aware this might not be the right place to ask and I would love to ask again or repost this in a better place if anyone knows the answer.

Just a reminder to myself

HEVC-over-FLV has two standards, but FFmpeg only implements one of them.

Standard 1: codecid=12 for HEVC
Standard 2: enhanced-rtmp

The patch that was removed in history only implemented Standard 1, but did not implement Standard 2.
In FFmpeg 6.1, only Standard 2 is implemented and not Standard 1.

I have created a patch that supports both standards of HEVC-over-FLV and I hope it will be merged into the current project.

https://github.com/delhi2050/FFmpeg-Builds/blob/master/patches/ffmpeg/master/0002-Support-for-HEVC-over-FLV.patch

Under this header it states:

What have I done:

(I use a powershell script that is run by sonarr to convert x264 to h265).
Either directly from the command line or through a .ps1 I write this command:

B:\App\ffmpeg-ytdl\bin\ffmpeg.exe -hwaccel_device 0 -hwaccel cuda -i "\\?\F:\Anime2\Miss Kuroitsu From the Monster Development Department\Stagione 01\Miss Kuroitsu From the Monster Development Department - s01e10 - Erai-raws [HDTV-1080p] - OE010 - The Very Concept of the Evil Being That Bewitches Souls Summons New Demons through the Chaos It Brings When It Drowns in Turmoil over Its Puzzling Exi....mkv" -pix_fmt p010le -map 0:v -c:v hevc_nvenc -preset slow -crf 26 -map 0:a? -map 0:s? -map 0:d? -map 0:t? -c:a copy -c:s copy -c:d copy -c:t copy "\\?\F:\Anime2\Miss Kuroitsu From the Monster Development Department\Stagione 01\Miss Kuroitsu From the Monster Development Department - s01e10 - Erai-raws [HDTV-1080p] - OE010 - The Very Concept of the Evil Being That Bewitches Souls Summons New Demons through the Chaos It Brings When It Drowns in Turmoil over Its Puzzling Exi... - h265.mkv"

I used \\?\ In the input (-i) and it runs fine even if the path+filename is over 260 (if I omit \\?\ from -i It gives me the error: No such file or directory).
If I use 5N, I add -5N after ffmpeg-ytdl in the command.

If I omit \\?\ from the output... same error from doing it on -i (says it can't find the directory/file). While if I leave \\?\, It actually "finds" the file but says that the arguments are invalid.
And well, after 6 full hours of testing I discovered that it is not the \\?\ that does not work on the output, simply, it is the output function that does not allow to use the file name too long (while on -i it does not happen).

The test was putting "\\?\F:\Miss Kuroitsu From the Monster Development Department - s01e10 - Erai-raws [HDTV-1080p] - OE010 - h265.mkv" as output and ffmpeg ran smoothly 🤬🙃.

PLEASE NOTE!:

That crap sonarr passes the filename through an environment variable to the script.
The variable is sonarr_episodefile_path and it is the full path plus the file name and its extension (I couldn't figure out if it adds \\?\ when the name is too long but I think not).
THIS MEANS I CANNOT TOUCH NEITHER THE PATH OR THE FILE NAME (THOSE ARE AND THOSE REMAIN... until they are then "decomposed" in my script into separate variables: path, filename and extension).

So I just add " - h265" to the file name and then delete the starting file.
As a workarround I could use a temporary drive to do the output and then overwrite the original (from the script) but honestly I don't like it.

Thanks in advance!

How do I install these builds of ffmpeg and ffprobe on Ubuntu?
I clicked on "Wiki" but did not find instructions. Sorry for the noob question...

Hi, how can I convert your doc/ffmpeg*.html from your ffmpeg release to Linux manpages ?

8d83230 no longer applies. @nihil-admirari could you please take a look?

It would be nice to provide these custom ffmpeg builds for ARM. I'm using a raspberry pi 4 on Ubuntu Server and have to use the builds that Ubuntu (apt install) provides. They work about 90% of the time, but occasionally I'll get these errors:
ERROR: Postprocessing: Conversion failed!

Attached is the full verbose output, curious that python threw an exception too.
ytdlp_ffmpeg_error.txt

Hey,

I wasn't sure if I should ask this question here or in the yt-dlp issues, but since it has more to do with ffmpeg I guess it makes more sense to ask here.

Every now and then ffmpeg just hangs forever when recording a livestream with yt-dlp, it just gets stuck on reading the m3u8 at random times sometimes after minutes sometimes hours.

I suppose it has to do with the server having a connection issue but the socket not closing the connection so ffmpeg just waits forever to receive something, despite the stream actually continuing.

I played around with all the timeout options in ffmpeg as well as in yt-dlp but nothing changed this behavior.

The only information that sounds like this issue online that I could find was this: http://michael-peeters.blogspot.com/2019/03/hanging-m3u8-downloads-in-ffmpeg.html?m=1

and then also this fork of ffmpeg that sounds like it deals with a similar or exactly this issue? https://github.com/bsenftner/FFmpeg

So my question I guess is, is there a way to fix this issue without a proxy and or using a different ffmpeg fork?

Hey So how do I go about updating my ffmpeg? I replace the .exe files for the bin folder, but what do I do with the doc folder?

Hi,
I just want to let you know that BOINC project has workflows for Windows ARM and MacOS. You can check how they do this and modify your ones: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc

Sorry to be annoying, but the builds are failing again. This time, it's because patch 1 fails to apply on ffmpeg master.

As I understand, Alpine Linux links differently than typical Linux builds. I tried downloading and running the executable along with Alpine's libc6-compat package, and got many symbol not found errors.

Since this builds from source, I think a github workflow could be added to do the build within an alpine linux docker container.
This would be beneficial to many docker containers that use Alpine

The latest stable release of FFmpeg is 6.1, and some distros (e.g. Arch, OpenMandriva Rolling) have already updated to FFmpeg 6.1.

Currently the repo has patches for 6.0 but not 6.1, and the Latest Auto-Build (2023-11-21 14:09) is 6.0.

In https://github.com/hayguen/clipgrab, i've added explicit check for available version of yt-dlp on github, by parsing __version__ line of https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/master/yt_dlp/version.py

It's simple to compare against the output of yt-dlp --version and allow an update by retrieving e.g. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp for Linux.

Despite reading issue #10, i'm still confused howto find out the right URL for stable releases, cause those contain the version in the filename, as in https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds/releases/download/latest/ffmpeg-n5.1-latest-linux64-gpl-5.1.tar.xz
and the Links at https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds#downloads do only provide the latest non-stable master downloads.

Can someone give me a hint, how to automatically determine the latest stable online version and the corresponding URLs?

In addition, it should be possible the retrieve the same version string or just the iso-date running sort of ffmpeg --version-date.

When I run build.sh, it fails saying that I'm not providing enough arguments.
Could you explain how to build this from source?

Hi, I have noticed your project is a fork of BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds.

What is the differences between the two ?

In which case should I choose the first over the second ?

why Title of the chapter not work properly in ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl.zip

--embed-chapters                Add chapter markers to the video file
                                             (Alias: --add-chapters)

I have installed yt-dlp through Chocolatey package manager and I also installed FFmpeg Full version with chocolatey.

How to install this build to use it only with yt-dlp and don't effect the original FFmpeg command?

In my Dockerfiles I have:

curl -L -o ffmpeg.tar.gz https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds/releases/download/latest/ffmpeg-master-latest-linux64-gpl.tar.xz && \
      tar -xf ffmpeg.tar.gz && \

As of today they error with:

Both linux64 and Windows are giving me issues. Any help would be great- thanks!

Are there any plans to upstream these patches? Or at least provide a PPA for simple installation (and making sure that this ffmpeg is used and not the standard debian/ubuntu one)?

The Windows builds of the master branch are failing

I'm going to try to run tests to see which patch is causing the error (but I can't help much beyond that)

Test 1: does ffmpeg build successfully if the last 3 patches are deleted?
Result: no (potentially caused by interference from the scheduled build, but I highly doubt it, based on the log)

Test 2: Does it build if we delete patches 2-6 (so only patch 1 applies)?
Result: workflow failed, due to permissions error, but the part that was failing succeeded, so I'm calling it a success

Test 3: Does it build with patches 3-6 deleted?
Result: workflow failed, due to error pruning old releases, but the part that was failing succeeded, so I'm calling it a success

As such, patch 3 is the problematic patch

how to install on ubuntu

Streams fail to download with the above error.

This is an issue carried over from BtbN's build. According to user smitelli, it is because it is compiled without TLS v1.2 support.
