The latest release of the RHEL 8 / CentOS 8. Red Hat has built its own tools, buildah and podman, which aim to be compatible with existing docker images and work without relying on a daemon, allowing the creation of containers as normal users, without the need of special permissions (with some limitations: e.g. At the moment of writing, it's still not possible to map host ports to the.
Feb 08, 2018 I'd like to add the homebridge-camera-ffmpeg plugin to the docker which loads but fails when triggered by the IOS home.app. I imagine that the container cannot work with the standard synology ffmpeg package (unlike other packages like mosquitto), and that ffmpeg needs to be installed within the docker container.
Apt-get install ffmpeg. As of 2019, this seems to work, just fine on Docker. RUN apt-get -y update RUN apt-get -y upgrade RUN apt-get install -y ffmpeg. I install ffmpeg in the dockerfile as follows: RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y ffmpeg. Now when I run the program, it fails with: aeneas.ffprobewrapper.FFPROBEPathError: Unable to call the 'ffprobe' ffprobe executable: Errno 2 No such file or directory: 'ffprobe' and aeneas.audiofile.AudioFileProbeError: Unable to call ffprobe. My base image is actually python 3.6.4. I need to install ffmpeg on the image so my application can do a system call to ffmpeg. (I can't run ffmpeg separately on it's own docker container for various reasons). In the forum for the service, someone recommended installing ffmpeg onto the docker image using 'docker run'. Nov 09, 2018 Docker. I like to think of it as a slimmed down virtual machine. The proper term for what it builds is a virtual container. We can install FFmpeg inside the virtual container and then anything inside this container will be able to access FFmpeg’s functionality. In this example, we’ll be adding a simple web server that’ll be making FFmpeg.

Overview
Plugin that adds a tab to OctoPrint for viewing, starting, and stopping a live stream.
Credits:
Inspired by and based on the work by
- Alex Ellis found here
- jneilliii OctoPrint-YouTube Live plugin found here
Requirements for Streaming
Although this plugin should work with a wide variety of webcam, it has only been tested with a Raspberry Pi cam running on OctoPi and made available via OctoPrint mjpeg-streamer. This plugin relies on a Docker container running FFmpeg to convert the mjpeg-streamer video stream and pipe it to a live streaming service. The YouTube Live and Twitch.Tv streaming services have been tested.
Installation
Using ssh
access the OctoPi and install docker
:
Pull the adilinden/rpi-ffmpeg
image:
Install OctoPrint-WebcamStreamer via one of these 3 methods, also in-depth explained on the official OctoPrint Installing a plugin page.
Open the plugin repository in the Plugin Manager’s settings dialog, search for “OctoPrint-WebcamStreamer” and install with the “Install” button.
Open the plugin repository in the Plugin Manager’s settings dialog, click on “Get more…” and enter the
https://github.com/adilinden-oss/octoprint-webcamstreamer/archive/master.zip
URL in the “… from URL” box. Click the Install button to complete the installation.Access the OctoPi command line and run the
~/oprint/bin/pip install https://github.com/adilinden-oss/octoprint-webcamstreamer/archive/master.zip
command.
Setup
Add Ffmpeg To Docker Container
Pull up Webcam Streamer in the OctoPi settings panel
- Enter your streaming providers embed URL for your live stream video into the “Viewer Embed URL” field.
YouTube: Your “YouTube Channel ID” is needed to construct the embed URL. It can be found on your Advanced settings page. With the “YouTube Channel ID” in hand, constrcut the URL like this:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/live_stream?channel=CHANNEL_ID
Twitch: Your Twitch username is needed to construct the embed URL. With your username in hand, construct the URL like this:
https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=USERNAME
- Enter your streaming providers ingest or stream server URL into the “Stream Server URL” field.
YoutTube: Your complete URL is created by appending your “Stream name/key” to your “Server URL”. Both values can be found on your Live dashboard page. With both values in hand, the complete “Stream Server URL” should look like this:
rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
Twitch: Your complete URL is created by appending your “Primary Stream key” to the
rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/
URL. The “Primary Stream key” can be found on your Dashboard Settings page. The complete “Stream Server URL” should look like this:rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/live_xxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxx
Enter your OctoPi webcam URL into the “OctoPi Webcam URL” field. A fully qualified URL is needed containing either the resolvable hostname or the IP address of the OctoPi. The “OctoPi Webcam URL” typically looks something like this:
Docker Install Windows
Terse setup information is also availabe via the expandable “Additional Information” section on the “Webcam Streamer” settings page.
Advanced Setup
Advanced option allow for modification of the FFmpeg command line for use with other streaming services or cameras. It also allows for a different Docker container to be specified if desired or needed.
“Webcam Frame Rate” default is 5 frames per second which is appropriate for the Raspberry Pi webcam.
“Docker Image” default is
adilinden/rpi-stream:latest
. This value needs to match the docker image installed in the setup steps.“Docker Container” default is
WebStreamer
. This value is rather arbitrary but the default makes sense (to me).“FFmpeg Command” allows for customization of the
ffmpeg
command line. Variable substitution is performed to insert setup values into theffmpeg
command line.Default command line for
ffmpeg
is:The following variable substitutions are available:
FFmpeg Cmd Var Settings value {stream_url}
Stream Server URL {webcam_url}
OctoPi Webcam URL {frame_rate}
OctoPi Webcam Frame Rate {gop_size}
Internal Calculated Value (frame rate * 2) {filter}

FFmpeg has always been a very experimental and developer-driven project. It is a key component in many multimedia projects and has new features added constantly. Development branch snapshots work really well 99% of the time so people are not afraid to use them.
Git Repositories
Since FFmpeg is developed with Git, multiple repositories from developers and groups of developers are available.

Releases
Approximately every 6 months the FFmpeg project makes a new major release. Between major releases point releases will appear that add important bug fixes but no new features. Note that these releases are intended for distributors and system integrators. Users that wish to compile from source themselves are strongly encouraged to consider using the development branch (see above), this is the only version on which FFmpeg developers actively work. The release branches only cherry pick selected changes from the development branch, which therefore receives much more and much faster bug fixes such as additional features and security patches.
