Add ffmpeg librarie to run mp4 videos

[gava...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to display a video with nwjs but I had this error :

[25955:35843:1204/115855.825589:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA _ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"FFmpegDemuxer: no supported streams"}



If I well understand this error occure because the ffmpeg librarie is not in nw.
So I tried to follow this tutorial : Using MP3 & MP4 (H.264) using the video & audio tags.

I have many problems.
I'm on mac so I follow

Head to your Applications folder and right-click on Google Chrome. Select Show Package Contents and navigate to Versions > Most recent # > Framework > Libraries.

But their is no ffmpegsumo.so here so I found one on the internet.

Copy ffmpegsumo.so to nwjs.app/Contents/Frameworks/nwjs Framework.framework/Libraries/

I copyied it but when I re-run nw my error was still here, my library could be not a good one so I want to build it myself.

If you are building nw.js, open src/third_party/ffmpeg/chromium/scripts/build_ffmpeg.sh, and search around line 379 for the following directives:

Their is no such directories and file, where can I find it ?

I hope someone could help me. Thanks.

I've not had the need to enable them myself, but maybe you would have better luck with the maybe more updated documentation?

 To run mp4 with NW.js you need to use an upgraded ffmpeg library which can be obtained from

https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases

I tend to use the Mac ones but I would expect the Linux ones to work OK as well.

eg: On mac you simply need to replace the libffmpeg.dylib in the bundle.
