[Solved] Is ffmpeg available

[mrj]

Hi,

Is it possible to get ffmpeg to my account?

This support request is being escalated to our root admin.

It's possible, but it's strongly recommended that you convert your video files on your home pc. The reason is there really isn't anything you could do on our servers that would cause more load than video conversion, and it's highly likely your account will get suspended for it. Would you like to proceed anyways?

[mrj]

Yes, I would like to request for cygwin also. Beacuse I dont own A PC and I will make sure that servers won't get overloaded for me. Thank you.

Cygwin would be entirely pointless. The servers already run Linux, no need to emulate it.

@mrj you can install ffmpeg on your phone then.

 

Install "Termux" and type:

 

pkg update

pkg install ffmpeg

[mrj]

@wolstech Sorry, my bad! Why linux command emulator, while the server is linux itself.

 

@miwilc I need ffmpeg for a script. So installing it in mobile isn't a good solution.

I wonder if cygwin would run in wine...?

Wine in Cygwin on Wine. Lol

Some people got Xorg and wine working on the Linux Subsystem for Windows. Lol

Let's just put Cygwin in wine that runs on Linux subsystem for Windows, then put the Windows install in a VM that's running on top of Linux that's itself in a VM on an ESXi server that's installed inside Hyper-V and we'll be good.

So I am not getting ffmpeg, am I?

There you go

# which ffmpeg
/usr/bin/ffmpeg

Don't blame me when you get suspended.

But realistically you'd be using KVM instead of ESXi.

ffmpeg -i krydos.user -o krydos.heliohost

 

Processing krydos.user (2.3TB) into krydos.heliohost.
