FFmpeg Static Auto-Builds

Static Windows (x86_64) and Linux (x86_64) Builds of ffmpeg master and latest release branch.

Windows builds are targetting Windows 7 and newer, provided UCRT is installed. The minimum supported version is Windows 10 22H2, no guarantees on anything older.

Linux builds are targetting RHEL/CentOS 8 (glibc-2.28 + linux-4.18) and anything more recent.

Sometimes rarely I had to manually fix older compatibility issues like Windows from coming external features.

Features of Martin Eesmaa's custom FFmpeg automated builds

• External support to SVT encoders of HEVC and VP9
• Includes nonfree binaries with fdkaac (Fraunhofer AAC library)
• Dolby AC4 native experimental decoding support
• Apple AAC AudioToolbox encoder support (Windows only, requires iTunes or 8 dll files*)
• Additional automated Windows builds of x86 and ARM64.
• Additional external features follows libbsb2, CD reading, ModPlug, QR encoding/decoding.
• External features of video by AVS3, Fraunhofer HHI VVDEC, AVS, MPEG-5 EVC, MPEG-5 LCEVC decoder.
• External features of audio by ILBC, Google LC3, Microsoft GSM, MP3 Shine, Speex, AMR-WB, CELT and MPEG-H 3D Audio encoder from Ittiam.

Implement missing features in future:

ladspa lcms2 libcodec2 libdc1394 libflite
libglslang libiec61883 libklvanc liblensfun
libopencv libopenvino librsvg libtensorflow 
libtesseract libtorch opengl librabbitmq 

Old features or some errors due to compilation or/and limited which didn't fit:

• libcaca - Only Linux builds works, but Windows compilation error.
• libsvtjpgxs - Segmentation error after test of encode and also decoding shows weird corrupted image result of code on FFplay.
• libdatachannel - Compilation error for reason undefined reference.
• librtmp - No need to enable external RTMP feature, FFmpeg has already have native RTMP feature implemented.
• libklvanc - Windows build failed to compile, but Linux works and it is not yet enabled until DeckLick Linux feature is available.
• libsmbclient - Too complicated for to install little bit, later...
• libmpeghdec - Only Windows & Linux 64-bit architectures works, but others are not working due to error compilations.

For AudioToolbox encoder, it is only Windows support.

Two choices for to install iTunes or use portable DLL files from iTunes without installed which is called QTFiles.

Note: Install iTunes using Windows version, but Microsoft Store version may be not kinda sure.

Or another method is to install QTFiles for iTunes DLL portables for use QAAC and FFmpeg, see the instructions by link.

The third option is you can manually copy DLL files from iTunes:

DLL files without iTunes installed needs require 8 DLL files to order encoder aac_at:

It can be found on: C:\Program Files\iTunes\:

CoreAudioToolbox.dll libdispatch.dll CoreFoundation.dll objc.dll libicuin.dll ASL.dll libicuuc.dll icudt62.dll

Hint: You can copy these DLL files from iTunes right next to qaac.exe or/and ffmpeg.exe.

Fraunhofer IIS MPEG-H decoder

REMINDER: This didn't work due to xHE-AAC audio files were not playing when mpeghdec external feature is enabled connected to libFDK modified source. I will reenable it once I fixed to mpeghdec problem again. I apology with that. :(

Description: Experimental Fraunhofer IIS MPEG-H 3D Audio decoding support (requires command argument: -channel_layout)

Please note that FFmpeg doesn't have demux support of MPEG-H 3D Audio channels only.

You can only decode via command argument -channel_layout.

For example, ensure to have MediaInfo for audio channels count:

# Mono audio channel file
ffmpeg_vvceasy -channel_layout mono -i MHM.mp4 MHM.wav
# Stereo audio channel file
ffmpeg_vvceasy -channel_layout stereo -i MHM.mp4 MHM.wav

See the more info of manual standard channel layouts here.

Auto-Builds

Builds run daily at 12:00 UTC (or GitHubs idea of that time) and are automatically released on success.

Auto-Builds run ONLY for win32, win(arm)64 and linux(arm)64. There is no linux 32-bit auto-builds, I will try to add support linux 32-bit support

Release Retention Policy

• The last build of each month is kept for two years.
• The last 14 daily builds are kept.
• The special "latest" build floats and provides consistent URLs always pointing to the latest build.

Package List

For a list of included dependencies check the scripts.d directory. Every file corresponds to its respective package.

How to make a build

Prerequisites

• bash
• docker

Build Image

• ./makeimage.sh target variant [addin [addin] [addin] ...]

Build FFmpeg

• ./build.sh target variant [addin [addin] [addin] ...]

On success, the resulting zip file will be in the artifacts subdir.

Targets, Variants and Addins

Available targets:

• win64 (x86_64 Windows)
• win32 (x86 Windows)
• linux64 (x86_64 Linux, glibc>=2.28, linux>=4.18)
• linuxarm64 (arm64 (aarch64) Linux, glibc>=2.28, linux>=4.18)

The linuxarm64 target will not build some dependencies due to lack of arm64 (aarch64) architecture support or cross-compiling restrictions.

• davs2 and xavs2: aarch64 support is broken.
• libmfx and libva: Library for Intel QSV, so there is no aarch64 support.

Available variants:

• gpl Includes all dependencies, even those that require full GPL instead of just LGPL.
• lgpl Lacking libraries that are GPL-only. Most prominently libx264 and libx265.
• nonfree Includes fdk-aac in addition to all the dependencies of the gpl variant.
• gpl-shared Same as gpl, but comes with the libav* family of shared libs instead of pure static executables.
• lgpl-shared Same again, but with the lgpl set of dependencies.
• nonfree-shared Same again, but with the nonfree set of dependencies.

All of those can be optionally combined with any combination of addins:

• 4.4/5.0/5.1/6.0/6.1/7.0/7.1 to build from the respective release branch instead of master.
• debug to not strip debug symbols from the binaries. This increases the output size by about 250MB.
• lto build all dependencies and ffmpeg with -flto=auto (HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL, broken for Windows, sometimes works for Linux)
