Test your installation with the following command. Install Mplayer directly from source: wget Ĭp -par /usr/include/lib/*.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/Īdd after the ‘extension_dir’ and ‘zend_extension’ entries in the php.ini: extension='ffmpeg.so' Now, add ‘ruby*’ back to the excludes list in ‘/etc/yum.conf’ to keep Cpanel happy. Now, install the required packages: yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel flvtool2 mplayer mencoder lame libogg libvorbis libtheora swftools amrnb amrwb transcode x264 This is just to get past the next step we must restore it later. Now, edit ‘/etc/yum.conf’ and remove ‘ruby*’ from the excludes list. Rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.3.x86_64.rpm

Hopefully these instructions help others as they have helped me.įirst, install rpmforge so you don’t have to compile a bunch of components from scratch: cd /usr/src I can’t take credit for all of it, however the original site where I found it has long since been offline with nothing similar replacing it. This is by far the easiest way to get up and running with ffmpeg and assorted tools on a Cpanel / RHEL / CentOS server.

Centos 6 ffmpeg install
