This should install ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder, flvtool2, yamdi, x264, theora, mp3lame, vorbis, ogg, faac, faad2, xvid . These tools will enable on your server:

• video conversion
• thumbnail generation
• FLV meta injection (flvtool2, yamdi)
• extra codecs (x264, theora, mp3lame, vorbis, ogg, faac, faad2, xvid)

This is functional and we update it each time we configure a new server.
Installation is done using the “root” account.

Attention: If you copy and paste commands below, make sure “-” are not converted to “.”.  If these get converted, edit “.” back to “-”. Some options use 2 * “-”.

GIT
(required to get X264)

yum install curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel

cd /usr/local/src

wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.0.4.tar.gz

tar -zxvf git-1.6.0.4.tar.gz

cd git-1.6.0.4

cd /usr/local/share/man
tar -zxvf /usr/local/src/git-manpages-1.6.0.4.tar.gz

cd /usr/local/src/

git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
cd /usr/local/src/x264
./configure –enable-shared –prefix=/usr
make &&  make install

cd /usr/local/src/

wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/theora/libtheora-1.1.1.tar.bz2

tar jxvf libtheora-1.1.1.tar.bz2

./configure –prefix=/usr
make && make install

cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://downloads.xvid.org/downloads/xvidcore-1.2.1.tar.gz
tar zxfv xvidcore-1.2.1.tar.gz
cd xvidcore/build/generic
./configure
make && make install

Before installing ffmpeg, setup some linking for scripts that look in certain locations for codecs:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.50 /usr/lib/libavformat.so.50
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.51 /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavutil.so.49 /usr/lib/libavutil.so.49
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.51 /usr/lib/libavformat.so.51
ln -s /usr/lib/libtheora.so.0.3.10 /usr/local/lib/libtheora.so.0.3.10
ln -s /usr/lib/libx264.so.80 /usr/local/lib/libx264.so.80
ln -s /usr/lib/libtheora.so.0.3.10 /usr/local/lib/libtheora.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libx264.so.80 /usr/local/lib/libx264.so

FFMPEG (download latest from SVN)

cd /usr/local/src/
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/
./configure –enable-gpl –enable-shared –enable-nonfree –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libvorbis –enable-libxvid –enable-libx264 –enable-libtheora –enable-libfaac –enable-libfaad
make && make install
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/

FFMPEG configure options use 2 x “-”.

MPLAYER

cd /usr/local/src/
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
cd /usr/local/src/mplayer
svn update
cd /usr/local/src/mplayer
./configure && make && make install
cd ..

FLVTOOL2
First install Ruby from WHM.

cd /usr/local/src/
wget rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/9225/flvtool2_1.0.5_rc6.tgz
tar zxvf flvtool2_1.0.5_rc6.tgz
cd /usr/local/src/flvtool2_1.0.5_rc6/
ruby setup.rb config
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install

YAMDI

cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/yamdi/yamdi/1.4/yamdi-1.4.tar.gz?use_mirror=ufpr
tar zxf yamdi-1.4.tar.gz
cd yamdi-1.4
gcc yamdi.c -o yamdi -O2 -Wall
mv yamdi /usr/bin/
yamdi -h

INSTALLATION RESULTS

mencoder: /usr/local/bin/mencoder
mplayer: /usr/local/bin/mplayer
yamdi: /usr/bin/yamdi

Add these shortcuts to /usr/bin if you need these there by default:
mencoder to /usr/local/bin/mencoder
mplayer to /usr/local/bin/mplayer

SuPHP fix

With suphp  “env -i” is required when executing php scripts.

exec(“env -i /usr/bin/php ” . $cmd.  ‘>/dev/null &’);

To test a live demo of software on WordPress, just register a free account on this site and use the widget link from the right menu to start broadcasting.

If the user is not logged into WordPress a warning message is shown and the visitor can click that to get back to the main WordPress website for registration/login. We also included a plugin that provides a linking widget. You can use that or directly add a link to “http://www.your-site.com/videowhisper_streaming/” .

The widget also displays online broadcasters and their show names.

The watch screen logs in wordpress logged in users by adding a @ at end of username (so broadcaster can see & test his own video as a different user). Blog visitors will be able to participate in chat by providing a temporary username right in the chat application.

A free version of this component can be downloaded for free from the WordPress Live Streaming Software page.
