Description : FFmpegfs is a read-only FUSE filesystem which transcodes between audio and video formats on the fly when opened and read. This can let you use a multi media file collection with software and/or hardware which only understands one of the supported output formats, or transcode files through simple drag-and-drop in a file browser.
FFmpegfs is a read-only FUSE filesystem which transcodes between
audio and video formats on the fly when opened and read. This can
let you use a multi media file collection with software and/or
hardware which only understands one of the supported output formats,
or transcode files through simple drag-and-drop in a file browser.
Supported output formats:
* MP4 (audio & video)
* WebM (audio & video)
* OGG (audio & video)
* MOV (audio & video)
* Prores (a MOV container for Apple Prores video & PCM audio)
* Opus (audio only)
* MP3 (audio only)
* WAV (audio only)
* AIFF (audio only)
This can let you use a multi media file collection with software
and/or hardware which only understands one of the supported output
formats, or transcode files through simple drag-and-drop in a file
browser.
The package uses the FFmpeg library for decoding/enconding, this
way suppporting a multitude of input formats. I am using it myself
for online streaming and playback.
There a similar package called mp3fs (of which this is actually a
spawn), but that only supports mp3, no other formats and no videos.
ffmpegfs is much more powerful and flexible, I would say.
I am going to maintain it myself, it is a rather small project so
I would not be needing help. I already receive support (bug reports,
fixes, feature requests and even patches for new features) on
github.
Sponsors are not required, but if someone wants to buy me a beer
or offer me a life-time supply of beer, why not? :)
