FFMPEG

[JTD]

Hello guys, I found this FFMPEG module made by Fulalas FFMpeg 3.2.4 (codec package)

But it's over 5 years old and the mediafire link is broken. Would be nice to have an up-to-date module of FFMPEG specially after 5.0 release

And since we're on topic, I saw a "youtube-dl-2021.12.17-noarch-1ncm.xzm" module under /porteus/x86_64/Porteus-v5.0/modules/ mirrors, but since youtube-dl is deprecated (now throttles download speeds because of a YouTube change), maybe making a "yt-dlp" (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases) module would be better (Although they offer a linux standalone version which I have yet to try on Porteus, works fine on Mint without additional dependencies tho)

Thank you in advance!

as babam alludes to, ffmpeg is included in our base modules..

maybe making a "yt-dlp"

yeah, i happen to have a script already written for that.. i guess i could easily swap out the live update script on the server (the updater app will still say youtube-dl, but would supply yt-dlp instead..)

Awesome! Nice to know it's already included. Is there a way to see all the included software/packages on the base ISO (both online documentation and inside Porteus itself)? That way I can avoid making another thread about something that might already be there.

Code: Select all

ls /var/lib/pkgtools/packages

All the following posts have been about youtube.dl and yt-dlp and therefore offtopic in here.
I moved those posts into a new thread: Porteus switched from youtube-dl to yt-dlp - and how to get the most recent version

Is there a way to see all the included software/packages on the base ISO

as babam says here: FFMPEG (Post by babam #89481)
as well there's an included tool: pkginfo
eg.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ pkginfo -w ffmpeg

 Package:  ffmpeg-4.4.1-x86_64-1ncm  
 located in Module:  002-xtra.xzm 

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ pkginfo -h

Simple script to provide some package info for Porteus.

	Options:
	-h --help	: show this usage.
	-w --where	: show if pkgs are installed
			  and module they're in.
			  Takes a single argument
			  or a text file with a list.
	-l --mllibs	: show if there are any
			  missing linked libraries
			  for a binary.
	-f --file	: show what package owns
			  a file and which module it's in.
	-i --info	: show the contents of a package.
	Examples:
	pkginfo -w <packagename>
	pkginfo -w <file with list of packages>
	pkginfo -l <name of binary(with no path)>
	pkginfo -f </path/to/file>
	pkginfo -i <package name>
