Installation

Windows:

  1. Download and install ffmpeg
  2. Add the path to ffmpeg folder to autoProcessMedia.cfg

Linux:

If you select the option to enable transcoding the script will test for the existance of the ffmpeg command. If this is already installed you are good to go.

If ffmpeg is not installed these scripts will try to install ffmpeg for you. This is time consuming so it is recommended that you install this prior to downloading content that you want transcoded.

To make this easy, just run the getffmpeg.sh script supplied with this repo.

    ./getffmpeg.sh

otherwise you can download from here

ffmpeg source

configure with the following command

./configure

then issue the following commands to build ffmpeg

make
make install

Add the path to ffmpeg directory to autoProcessMedia.cfg

If you want to transcode .iso or .bin (.bin/.cue) images, you will need to ensure you have 7zip (p7zip) installed.

lib-av (avconv)

Support is also available for lib-av as this appears to be the standard supplied with Ubuntu 14+

So, install lib-av and enter the path to the avconv and avprobe binaries in autoProcessMedia.cfg as the ffmpeg_path

Tips (Please add yours here)

Transcoding .iso/.bin or VIDEO_TS folders.

Use the following settings to rip direct to .mkv format.

[Extensions]
    mediaExtensions = .mkv, .avi, .divx, .xvid, .mov, .wmv, .mp4, .mpg, .mpeg, .m4v, .vob, .iso, .bin
