@backendsuraj/offline-ffmpeg

A platform-independent, offline-friendly binary installer of FFmpeg for Node.js projects.

FFmpeg Version: 8.0.0

Why this package?

Most FFmpeg wrappers download the binary at runtime or install time. This fails in strict corporate environments with firewalls or proxies. This package bundles the binaries directly, so npm install is all you need.

Usage

Standard Node.js

import ffmpeg from '@backendsuraj/offline-ffmpeg';
import { spawn } from 'child_process';

const ffmpegPath = ffmpeg.path;
spawn(ffmpegPath, ['-version'], { stdio: 'inherit' });

With fluent-ffmpeg

import fluentFfmpeg from 'fluent-ffmpeg';
import ffmpegBinary from '@backendsuraj/offline-ffmpeg';

// Manually set the path to the bundled binary
fluentFfmpeg.setFfmpegPath(ffmpegBinary.path);

// Use fluent-ffmpeg as usual
fluentFfmpeg('input.mp4').save('output.mp3');
