FFmpegBlazor provides ability to utilize ffmpeg.wasm from Blazor Wasm C#.
ffmpeg.wasm is a pure Webassembly / Javascript port of FFmpeg. It enables video & audio record, convert and stream right inside browsers.
FFmpegBlazor integrates nicely with Blazor InputFile Component. Supports Lazy loading of ffmpeg binary. It is self hosted version one time download of core ffmpeg wasm lib will be 25Mb.
- Exploring to reduce extra configuration steps aka no longer need to add Wasm headers to run app locally.
- Robust integration with .NET 8 wasm threads and possibilty to use newer JSInterop API.
Download package via Nuget or DotNet CLI and you are good to go , no extra configuration required.
dotnet add package FFmpegBlazor
Currently we need to use a workaround to run FFmpegApps on web assembly, this will be removed in .NET 7 (Early September 2022) once Multi threading support is available on WASM.
We need to add 2 headers in Blazor WASM-local-server and in actual deployment static server also
Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp
Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin
To do so we can create a web.config file in root of our project with content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<add name="Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy" value="require-corp"/>
<add name="Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy" value="same-origin"/>
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>Use IIS Express to run apps locally.
Also In actual deployment we need to add these 2 headers in server config to avoid SharedArrayBuffer not defined error.
You can check Netlify deployment sample here.
Thanks to @aokocax for helping with it.
Here is a sample page to convert mp4 to mp3 and play it in browser.
