FFmpeg Source Input Library

FFmpeg Input Library is a small library aimed at receiving raw or decoded (RGB) frames from FFmpeg into a python program. You can pass to ffmpeg required arguments and url and get the frames like opencv does. The library provides the direct access to the ffmpeg library without the launching of the ffmpeg binary. The frames are in raw binary format and must be processed separately.

Install Prebuilt Wheels

pip install ffmpeg-input

# all manylinux versions
#
docker build -t ffmpeg_input -f docker/Dockerfile.manylinux_2_28_X64 .

# copy wheels from docker
#
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/distfiles:/tmp ffmpeg_input cp -R /opt/dist /tmp
