Shingoncoder

A asynchronous system for handling video transcoding backed by FFMpeg.

Installation

Include this gem in your Gemfile

gem 'shingoncoder'

Create the necessary tables:

rails console
Shingoncoder::Backend::JobRegistry.create_tables!

The asynchronous behavior is handled by ActiveJob, so you need only start your workers in the usual manner.

Configuration

TODO

Shingoncoder::Backend::TranscodeService.config.ffmpeg_path = '/usr/bin/ffmpeg'

Usage

Shingoncoder::Job.create(input: 'file:///opt/originals/full.mov')
Shingoncoder::Job.create(input: 'file:///opt/originals/full.mov',
                         outputs: [{ label: 'vp8 for the web',
                                     url: 'file:///opt/derivatives/output.webm'}])

This returns a Shingoncoder::Response object which contains a Job ID and one or more Output IDs (one per output file).

Output options

url - where to put the file, (Must be a file URI for now)
size - The resolution of the output video (WxH, in pixels). Defaults to 320x240.
label - optional label
