Can Chrome Extension somehow run with CLI program like ffmpeg?

[Minh Vong]

Hi,

I'm new at developing chrome extension. I'm intended to run or integrate my extension with ffmpeg. Is it possible? Any document or link for reference please

Thanks and Best Regards,

I guess you have a few options -

1. Compile FFMPEG to Web Assembly and use it within your extension. If it works, it will probably work slower than the native FFMPEG, but it has the benefit of not requiring any installation by the user, other than the extension itself.

2. Use native messaging to talk to an native application explicitly installed by the user (or using enterprise policy, if this is an enterprise extension) which calls any FFMPEG API/starts any FFMPEG process.

3. Create a local server (that the user will have to explicitly install) that does whatever you need with FFMPEG and let the extension talk to it using HTTP(S).
