 Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2011 4:31 pm Post subject: FFmpeg Builds for Mac OS X |
 |
|
*** These builds do not work on PPC Macs or Intel Macs with OS X 10.5. See below.***
==Updated 3/31/12== FFmpeg 0.10.2 binary added*
As other available FFmpeg builds for OS X have become out of date I have compiled a recent static build that I can distribute. Attached are FFmpeg builds for Intel Mac's to use with pyTivo. This build has been stripped down of all external encoders (except x264) and unusual external decoders in order to conserve on size. The build is optimized for use with pyTivo or similar tools such as StreamBaby. It should be able to decode just about anything you can throw at it. I have tested it against my library of videos with various codecs. I will make an attempt to keep this updated on a regular basis.
At a minimum this will work with all 64 bit Core2Duo and above processors running 10.6 and above. The current build is 64bit only. An older build, 0.8.6, is still attached below and is a Universal build that should still work with the 32 bit Intel Core Duo. If you are running an Intel Mac with 10.5 or you have a PPC CPU then I recommend using Rdian06's builds for older Macs.
The only patch I have applied (only up to my 0.8.10 release) is related to the 'non-monotone timestamp' errors that prevent some MKV files from being remuxed into MP4. This is attached. I know Rdian06 had other patches but FFmpeg has come along way since the last Rdian06 release and I do not know if any of the other patches are needed any longer. If you feel otherwise let me know I will look into it.
Feedback is most welcome.
Please ensure you are using the latest pyTivo snapshot before downloading: http://pytivo.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Current_Releases
----------
*About FFmpeg 0.9+ - Older pyTivo code is not completely able to use the newer versions of FFmpeg as there was an API change. The FFmpeg output is slightly different which prevent pyTivo from working correctly. You must update your pyTivo installation to ensure complete compatibility with new builds.
An experimental FFmpeg 0.10.2 is posted here.
All stable builds are below.
----------
Instructions:
Extract the downloaded file, place in your pyTivo directory and make sure that the path to FFmpeg in your pyTivo.conf configuration file is pointed at the right place. (Ex: ffmpeg = /Applications/pyTivo/bin/ffmpeg)

Older builds have been deleted to keep thread clean. I do keep them backed up, so if you need one just request.

I have not however will probably do so this week. There have been a couple downloads but I have not received any feedback so I do not know if the builds even work for anyone else. This was my first go at trying to make a static build with MacPorts.
There have also been some architectural changes in FFmpeg GIT that may not be backwards compatible with the current pyTivo snapshots, specifically with the way stream id's are selected. I haven't tested these yet. However in the interim I can at least release a FFmpeg 0.8 version which should work just fine.

I have uploaded a new build based on the FFmpeg 0.8.3 release. Please let me know how it works for you.

Any specifics? Did the first build? What type of processor does your Mac have?
I have been running the build on my machine (Intel Core2Duo) since I posted this without issue. It seems to have been downloaded many times. While there is no feedback that has been left I would have to assume that it has worked for others.
I was going to put up build 0.8.5 but it looks like they may push out 0.8.6 in a week or two so I may just wait until then.
If you can post any error output from running my FFmpeg build at the console that would be helpful. If I can figure out what is going wrong I will go ahead and post a new build.

I had a brain cramp and tested it with my older snow leopard machine. I'll check next week (lion machine temporarily unavailable) and see how it works there. I'll let you know.
What was your recipe for compiling it?

The build posted was compiled using Lion so that may account for some issues with Snow Leopard. I had not thought about that.
Can you post the FFmpeg output from your Snow Leopard machine so I can see if the Lion compiler is incompatible?

Rather convoluted but involved MacPorts and me manually editing each dependent port file that FFmpeg relies on to build statically and with Universal support. Then I edited the FFmpeg port file to add patch and add/delete libs to reduce size. Takes about 30 min to setup.
I have some shorthand notes I can post if you want but it would probably look like nonsense to anyone but me. 
I may have to start manually compiling FFmpeg without MacPorts if there is an issue with Snow Leopard compatibility.

Yea...was hoping to use it to have an updated version for my snow leopard machine too.
In theory will your compiled version of .86/.86 have support for multiple threads?

In the fashion that pyTivo has utilized multiple threads (mpeg encoding)....FFmpeg has been capable of this since at least 0.5. However the FFmpeg-MT was officially merged with trunk earlier this year providing full multi-threaded decode and encode capabilities for many codecs and my 0.8.x builds do contain this code but pyTivo does not make use of it.

I just installed Snow Leopard 10.6.8 in a virtual machine to test this and I am receiving no errors. Tested just fine. Again this is a 64bit Intel Core2Duo CPU I am testing on.
What is your CPU type?

I tried to get your your FFmpeg 0.8.6 to work on my pytivo with snow leopard ... no luck. I sure it is something I am doing wrong, but I am not sure what.
I have the latest pytivo. I've updated ffmpeg versions before, but the compiled versions were ffmpeg.bin with dynamic libraries. I replaced the ffmpeg.bin & libraries with your version ... no luck. I added the suffix .bin .... no luck.
Any ideas how I should correctly install it?

Install instructions are to extract the ffmpeg binary anywhere you wish (pyTivo folder is easiest though) and then edit your pyTivo.conf file to point to the new ffmpeg. No extension necessary.
Can you open the ffmpeg binary using the OS X Terminal app? Just type "/path/to/ffmpeg -i" and it should load the version and compile info.
I have a feeling that your configuration is just pointing to the old ffmpeg or an incorrect path. Post your pyTivo.conf file contents if you want.

Since I couldn't get pytivo to work with your ffmpeg. I mucked around and compiled my own version using 0.86 and your configuration options. Did the same steps as above. I took the resulting ffmpeg, added the .bin suffix (could have also removed the .bin from the pathname in pytivo.conf). Vola! It worked. First compile ever. It would be great if I knew why it worked. Our files should be similar. Same configure options. Same main libraries. Perhaps the compile environment was the difference.
Also, I didn't apply the 'non-monotone timestamp' since I don't know how. Did you apply it to the 0.86 ffmpeg? How do you do it?
My environment is a 8 core Mac Pro running Snow Leopard.
All thoughts would be appreciated.
