Settings

Default, Rmedia need execution path and named ffmpeg / ffprobe. But you can set binary.

FFmpeg.ffmpeg_bin = '/path/to/bin/ffmpeg'
FFmpeg.ffprobe_bin = '/path/to/bin/ffprobe'

Default, Rmedia kill ffmpeg process when no 10 second IO feedback. But you can set timeout.

FFmpeg.timeout = 30

Media

Readable data here

media = FFmpeg::Media.new('path/to/media')

media.duration # 6.4
media.width # 640

Via http[s]

media = FFmpeg::Media.new('http://any/to/media')

Transcode

Use encode options. human friendly options here

media.transcode('movie.webm', format: 'webm', video_bit_rate: '1500k') # transcode to webm
trnascoded = media.transcode('movie.webm', format: 'webm', video_bit_rate: '1500k') # return encoded media

Or give a string.

media.transcode('audio.mp3', '-f mp3 -vn') # transcode to mp3

You can use progress.

media.transcode('movie.mp4') { |progress| puts progress } # 0.0 to 1.0

Input seeking. Give you faster performance.

media.screenshot('out.jpg') # default screenshot make half of duration frame.
media.screenshot('out.jpg', seek_position: 3.2) # you can change it. -ss / seek_position option.
