# :rotating_light: THIS BUILDPACK IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED :rotating_light:

This buildpack is [no longer maintained](https://github.com/jonathanong/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg-latest/issues/71#issuecomment-1687374864) by its original author.

# :rotating_light: USE [`heroku/heroku-buildpack-activestorage-preview`](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-activestorage-preview) instead :rotating_light:

Heroku maintains an [official buildpack that installs `ffmpeg`](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-activestorage-preview).

While its original purpose is to provide `ffmpeg`, as well as several PDF conversion programs, for users of Ruby on Rails, it can be used with any application and any programming language that requires the `ffmpeg` command-line program.

A Heroku buildpack for ffmpeg that always downloads the latest [static build](http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/).

Unlike other build packs, I never compile anything.

## Usage

Run the following from the heroku command line:

```

heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 https://github.com/jonathanong/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg-latest.git

```

You can set a custom download URL by setting the variable `FFMPEG_DOWNLOAD_URL`.

Note: This buildpack should be added before the main language buildpack (by using `--index 1`),

since the application process types are calculated from the last buildpack in the list if no

`Procfile` is specified.
