ffmpeg install, centos

[altramarine 21]

Hello,

 

CentOS7.2

Stable emby repo.

 

I managed to ruin my emby-server install and so I am trying it have it reinstalled.

After emby reinstall, the initial guide is asking for ffmpeg.

Since it's been a while, I don't recall installing ffmpeg separately. Wasn't it part of packages that came with emby? I am may be totally wrong.

That said, if I do need to install ffmpeg separately, can you recommend a repo that maintains ffmpeg?

 

Thank you,

Hi, doesn't the page on the startup wizard give you a suggestion on where to get it from?

[altramarine 21]

It did, I saw those being static builds that  do not get updated. am I wrong there?

Sorry Luke, I am still a bit fresh on the linux end of things.

Thanks!

Well every once in a while you may choose to update it again. If emby server needs you to update it, it will let you know.

Great, thanks for explaining.

Is /var/lib/emby-server/ffmpeg a good spot to place the files?

Any place of your choosing will be fine.
