ffmpeg no found

[Voosia]

My system is Linux version 6.1.6 (d@d) (x86_64-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc (OpenWrt GCC 11.3.0 r5676-d783ca6ca) 11.3.0

installed jellyfin docker version from image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest 

works fine, but there is nothing in path /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg , there is no jellyfin-ffmpeg file.

I think ffmpeg didn't installed in my system, how to install it? 

Thank you very much

Are you looking on the host file system or container file system? If you are running Jellyfin in docker, jellyfin-ffmpeg only exists in the container file system.

Thank you, I can find  ffmpeg  in the jellyfin docker file, does it works for other containers like fileflows if I point the jellyfin ffmpeg path for fileflows?

[TheDreadPirate]

No. It is only available to the Jellyfin container. If you need ffmpeg to process files or something it would be better to install ffmpeg directly on the host system instead of trying to the ffmpeg instance in your Jellyfin container.

it's a pity that I can't find a ffmpeg version for x86 64 linux-musl system, musl is special?

[TheDreadPirate]

You could build ffmpeg from source.

I don't have any skill to build it

the Fileflows needs ffmpeg to convert videos.

[TheDreadPirate]

You could put those files in a directory on the host, then configure the jellyfin container to read in that directory and setup something in the jellyfin container with ffmpeg.

Definitely a roundabout way of doing things, but it should work.

I found fileflows DockerMods REPOSITORY have FFmpeg6, it works
