go-libav

Go language bindings for ffmpeg libraries.

This is still a work in progress. This package still lacks a lot of the libav's functionality. Please expect many additions/changes in the future.

Why

I am aware of other Go language bindings for ffmpeg. The reason I decided to build go-libav was because I wanted to have:

A more Object-Oriented Programming approach.
A more Go-like approach to error handling.
Easier garbage collection.

Installation

First, install ffmpeg 3.x libraries on your system.

If you need ffmpeg2.x support, use ffmpeg2 branch (deprecated).

Then, open the terminal and install the following packages:

go get -u github.com/imkira/go-libav/avcodec
go get -u github.com/imkira/go-libav/avfilter
go get -u github.com/imkira/go-libav/avformat
go get -u github.com/imkira/go-libav/avutil

Documentation

For advanced usage, make sure to check the following documentation:

Examples

Please check here for examples.

FFmpeg versions

This library supports multiple versions of FFmpeg 3.x, to build, use

go build -tags ffmpeg33
go test -tags ffmpeg33
go run -tags ffmpeg33 examples/mediainfo/mediainfo.go

Use ffmpeg30 for FFmpeg 3.0 API, ffmpeg33 for FFmpeg 3.3 API.
