Streamline FFMPEG Windows installation
The instructions for when you don't have FFMPEG on Windows could be improved. Also, the instructions tell you to go to this site:
but it's very hard to find the right download link. The other steps are also not easy, but not sure if it can be improved.
@JonnyBurger May be this will help, let me know I can try submitting a PR.
Have a look at this source, here we have binaries for ffmpeg https://github.com/eugeneware/ffmpeg-static/ And we can do like this ...
const version = "b5.0.1";
const filename = `ffmpeg-${version}${process.platform == "win32" ? ".exe" : ""}`;
const fileurl = `https://github.com/eugeneware/ffmpeg-static/releases/download/${version}/${process.platform}-x64`;
Download the file in a directory and use it every time
That sounds reasonable indeed!
I'm happy for PR it and if it does not come in a while, I might take a stab at it myself.
Important note: We also need ffprobe binaries in addition to ffmpeg (this could work: https://github.com/chrislearn/ffprobe-static)
