Rsmpeg
rsmpeg
is a thin&safe layer above the FFmpeg's Rust bindings, it's main goal is safely exposing FFmpeg inner APIs in Rust as much as possible.
Taking advantage of Rust's language design, you can build robust multi-media projects even quicker than using FFmpeg's C API.
Getting started
FFmpeg compilation
To use your first rsmpeg demo, you need to compile your FFmpeg:
If you find the compilation compilcated, there are some helpful compiling scripts for you (under the utils
folder).
To build a FFmpeg with some common parameters: (don't forget to install the build dependencies)
# macOS
zsh utils/mac_ffmpeg.rs
# Linux
bash utils/linux_ffmpeg.rs
# Windows
# You need a Linux machine for cross compiling, then copy the artifact to your
# Windows machine.
bash utils/windows_ffmpeg.rs
Rsmpeg demo
Ensure that you have compiled the FFmpeg.
Start by adding rsmpeg
to your Cargo.toml
file:
[dependencies]
rsmpeg = "0.3.0"
Write your simple media file info dumper:
use std::ffi::{CStr, CString};
use std::error::Error;
use rsmpeg::avformat::AVFormatContextInput;
fn dump_av_info(path: &CStr) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
let mut input_format_context = AVFormatContextInput::open(path)?;
input_format_context.dump(0, path)?;
Ok(())
}
fn main() {
dump_av_info(&CString::new("./test.jpg").unwrap()).unwrap();
}
Prepare a simple image in your current folder:
Run with FFMPEG_PKG_CONFIG_PATH
set to the pkgconfig file path in your artifact folder (xxx/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig
).
# macOS & Linux
export FFMPEG_PKG_CONFIG_PATH=xxx/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig
# Windows
set FFMPEG_PKG_CONFIG_PATH=xxx/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig
cargo run
Then it works:
Input #0, image2, from './test.jpg':
Duration: 00:00:00.04, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1390 kb/s
Stream #0:0: Video: mjpeg, none, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
(A single image's duration under 25fps is 0.04s)
You can also put any video or audio file here, this program will dump the media info for you.
