1. Enable 9xhost and EPEL yum repositoriesThe CentOS 6 RPM packages of ffmpeg, mplayer and MP4Box packages are available on 9xhost.net. These RPM packages are copied from ATrpms and RPM Fusion YUM repositories for a simplified installation.Some packages on 9xhost YUM repo depend on EPEL repo. To enable EPEL repo, install the epel-release RPM package

Code:
rpm -Uvh http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

 

To enable 9xhost YUM repository, create the file /etc/yum.repos.d/timewebhosting.repo

Code:
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/timewebhosting.repo

and add following repository configuration:

Code:
[9xhost] name=timewebhosting Packages CentOS 6 - $basearch
baseurl=http://dl.timewebhosting.com/yumrepo/centos/6/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

2. Install ffmpeg mplayer and mencoder

for x86 (32bit system)

Code:
yum install ffmpeg mplayer

for x86_64 (64bit system)

Code:
yum install ffmpeg mplayer --exclude "*.i386"

Note: there is no separate package for mencoder. It is also provided by mplayer package.

This will also install various dependency packages like libtheora, libvorbis, libogg, lame, opencore-amr, x264, xvidcore etc.

3. Install flvtool2
cPanel has its own ruby installer script. So install ruby using following cPanel script:

Code:
/scripts/installruby

Flvtool2 is available as a Ruby Gems package. Use following gem command to install flvtool2:

Code:
gem install flvtool2

4. Install MP4Box2

MP4Box is provided by gpac package. Install gpac and its library packages:

for x86 (32bit system)

Code:
yum install gpac gpac-libs

for x86_64 (64bit system)

Code:
yum install gpac gpac-libs --exclude "*.i386"

5. Install ffmpeg-php

Ffmpeg-php requires ffmpeg development package. Install it using yum:
for x86 (32bit system)

Code:
yum install ffmpeg-devel

for x86_64 (64bit system)

Code:
yum install ffmpeg-devel --exclude "*.i386"

Now download the latest ffmpeg-php package:

Code:
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2

Untar this package, build and install it with following commands:

Code:
tar xjf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2
cd ffmpeg-php-0.6.0
sed -i ‘s/PIX_FMT_RGBA32/PIX_FMT_RGB32/g’ ffmpeg_frame.c
phpize
./configure
make
make install

The make install command will show PHP extensions path where ffmpeg PHP extension is installed:

Code:
root@server [~/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0]# make install
Installing shared extensions: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/

Now edit php.ini file

Code:
nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini

and make sure that value of extension_dir is set to PHP extension directory as given by above make install command:

Code:
extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613"

Add following line just below extension_dir and this will enable ffmpeg PHP extension:

Code:
extension="ffmpeg.so"

Restart Apache to make this change effective:

Code:
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd

You can verify the status of ffmpeg extension on a PHP info web page or from command line as given below:

Code:
root@server [~]# php -i | grep ffmpeg
ffmpeg
ffmpeg-php version => 0.6.0-svn
