Latest ffmpeg sources

Hi. If I’m not mistaken, the ffmpeg source archive for Plex Transcoder, (linked in the LICENSE), needs to be updated.

The patched copy available does not have delete_removed, for example.

Plex has been notified about this.

Thanks for reporting

It’s been a month. I am also looking for the latest sources, I’m trying to write a compatibility layer for nvidia jetson transcoding.

Sorry for the delay; we’ve been working on some new internal infrastructure to publish these sources automatically so we can’t forget to do it anymore. Here’s the link for the latest release: https://downloads.plex.tv/ffmpeg-source/plex-media-server-ffmpeg-gpl-99c90e0bc7.tar.gz

Hi,

are the compilation/configure settings for ffmpeg documented somewhere as well? Or could you share them?

Thanks!

Roy

I second what Roy said! Working on a project and it would be handy to know the settings to compile this.

To clarify, I mean it would be nice to have the build flags so we can build it with the same libraries included by default.

I’m not sure if it will provide everything you need/want, but if you run Plex Transcoder(.exe) without any options it outputs its build configuration to the terminal.

You are correct! I believe that will work.

Thanks.

I was able to run configure and make thanks to Philipsw’s suggestion once I removed a lot of the flags that were originally shown. I ended up with this:

The only thing added was --enable-libzimg since I want the zscale filter in this build.
However when I went to run ffmpeg, I came across the following error:
./ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: ./ffmpeg: undefined symbol: avformat_http_do_new_request, version LIBAVFORMAT_58
I have libavformat-dev installed (I reinstalled just in case).
I am relatively new to building files like this (I’ve been spoiled with an automated workflow at work) so any advice would be appreciated.
