ffmpegInstaller

This script performs an automatic installation of ffmpeg on Synology DiskStations. Optionally, you can use it to automatically install x264 and libfaac on your DiskStation.

I released the script in hope that it will be useful to others. If you like the script and want to support the development, please consider making a donation. Your support is greatly appreciated!

The script was tested with the following cpus:

1. Marvell Kirkwood ARMv5TE compliant

2. Intel Atom

3. Freescale PowerPC (e500v)

In order to check whether your DS is supported, take a look at: https://github.com/CutePoisonX/ffmpegInstaller/wiki

Requirements: The script will only work if you have ipkg installed on your DS (see e.g.: http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/Overview_on_modifying_the_Synology_Server,_bootstrap,_ipkg_etc) and bash is installed in /opt/bin/. The installation of bash in /opt/bin/ is easy with ipkg - just do: "ipkg install bash" in the command line.

Installation on Synology DiskStations

1. ssh with root account into your DS

2. clone repo with: "git clone https://github.com/CutePoisonX/ffmpegInstaller"

3. cd into the directory: "cd ffmpegInstaller"

4. make script executable: chmod +x ffmpegInstaller.sh

5. run script: ./ffmpegInstaller.sh

Note: if you want to reset all changes that the script made to your DiskStation, execute the script with: "./ffmpegInstaller.sh reset"

The script will ask you some questions before it starts. It attempts to create a directory in /volume1, so make sure /volume1 is available. If you experience any bugs, please report them. I'm not responsible for any harm done by this script.
