Heroku CI fails

[alessandromacagno]

Hello @jonathanong,

thanks a lot for this repo, it worked perfectly until this morning.

Now, in Heroku CI, we have a random failure. Do you have any idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance

I have the same issue, manual triggering of new deploy helps (it seems that the johnvansickle.com host is unstable).

Probably it's a good idea to fallback to https://github.com/eugeneware/ffmpeg-static/releases (Github site is more reliable )

git push heroku main

Here is the link for latest x64 file: https://github.com/eugeneware/ffmpeg-static/releases/latest/download/linux-x64.gz

Thanks for the link barkovv, unfortunately that file wont work with the buildpack as it uses the command tar xJf "./$FFMPEG_ARCHIVE_NAME" --strip-components=1 to extract the file and this wont work with a gzipped file

I'm trying to work on something. Tried to fork this repo and tweak something using the repo that @barkovv sent. But didn't have any progress right now

Had the same issue but just tried to use this fork as buildpack and worked well https://github.com/hmh84/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg-latest.git

This seems temp fix cuz that too depends on the site which hosts the bin Needs something that fetches the latest binary from trusted sources like github or gitlab which will not down unexpectedly

Agree.. it's just a temporary fix.. I had the whole company waiting for my deployment so it was a quick fix.. but for sure the binary file needs to be hosted in a trusted server.
