# Automated FFMPEG Compilation script for Ubuntu
Before Proceeding with the FFMPEG compilation script, please make sure the check the [Wiki](https://github.com/stoyanovgeorge/ffmpeg/wiki "Wiki") section for different usage examples of FFMPEG. Another good source of information is the [Ubuntu compilation guide for FFMPEG](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu)
Automated scripts for compilation of [FFMPEG v.4.1](https://ffmpeg.org/ "FFMPEG Official Page") and its most popular librarires for Ubuntu based systems. The script is tested and working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver. After compilation the FFMPEG configuration should be:
```

### Usage Examples
Please run the [compilation.sh](https://github.com/stoyanovgeorge/ffmpeg/blob/master/compilation.sh "compilation.sh") script `sh compilation.sh` and it will take care of installing the latest version of FFMPEG and its most popular libraries from scratch presuming that you have cloned this repository.
In case you want to automate the installation of GIT and run the compilation script you can execute:
```
sudo apt update && sudo apt install git -y && git clone https://github.com/stoyanovgeorge/ffmpeg.git && cd ffmpeg && sh compilation.sh
```
If you want to omit the installation of some of these libraries, please comment the line in the [compilation.sh](https://github.com/stoyanovgeorge/ffmpeg/blob/master/compilation.sh "compilation.sh") script and also remove the parameter in the [ffmpeg.sh](https://github.com/stoyanovgeorge/ffmpeg/blob/master/scripts/ffmpeg.sh "ffmpeg.sh") script.
For example if you want to remove x265 support, you need to comment the `sh $PWD/scripts/libx265.sh 2> $HOME/ffmpeg/logs/libx265.log` line in the [compilation.sh](https://github.com/stoyanovgeorge/ffmpeg/blob/master/compilation.sh "compilation.sh") script.
And in the [ffmpeg.sh](https://github.com/stoyanovgeorge/ffmpeg/blob/master/scripts/ffmpeg.sh "ffmpeg.sh") script you need to remove `--enable-libkvazaar` option.
### Bugs and Missing Features
1. Currently I am unable to compile the AV1 video codec from source.
Please use [Github Issues](https://github.com/stoyanovgeorge/ffmpeg/issues "Github Issues") in case you spot a bug or have an idea how to optimize the scripts.
