Linux arm64 ffmpeg download support? about ffbinaries-node HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @henrikp, I just added the FFmpeg 4.4.1 binaries which include arm-64 architecture.

Not sure why you had issues in the past though since arm-64 builds have been included for a while, let me know if this is now resolved :)

from ffbinaries-node.

Latest docker image (v5.9.4-ls69), getting ffmpeg to download seems to be a problem (for me only?).

When I only mount /config and /music ffmpeg doesn't get downloaded into the container.

v5.9.4

I went into the container and there wasn't any /ffmpeg indeed. Was running with the default container user and group.

Though when I mounted /ffmpeg to a local path, binaries did get downloaded and everything worked as it should, both buffer and stream mode.

Hmm this looks like an issue within the docker container.
I'm not sure what the typical way of running mStream container would be but I can see other people have run into similar problems (linuxserver/docker-mstream#4 - I'm assuming this is the image you're using?).

With that in mind it feels like something that could probably be incorporated into that container in a cleaner way. I'm thinking perhaps downloading the binaries during the build of the Docker image might be the way to go - that way the binaries would be bundled with the build and you wouldn't have to deal with the permissions at all.

One thing worth pointing out is that the directory for the binaries would be /opt/mstream/bin/ffmpeg (which should have a readme file in it already).

Including them during the build would be the most direct course, as I see it, you can't use that docker image anywhere else anyway.

During the initial troubleshooting I changed the paths for some reason and forgot to change them back in the configuration file.

Hi @henrikp, I just tried running docker-mstream image locally and it all appeared to function just fine on an x64 architecture (including the download of the ffmpeg binary).

What's the platform you're running into this issue with, is it a Raspberry Pi?

Yes. Raspberry Pi 4 with aarch64.
