Hi
I have downloaded the ffmpeg tar and extracted it all but I have no idea where to upload it?
I want to use it with videojs plugin have looked on their documentation and it doesn't say where to upload it or want the binary path should be.
Thanks in advance
Kriss :)

Hi Kriss,
Why don't you simply use an installer like for example on Linux/Debian:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Bye for now

Linux is my hoster not my computer... I can't get onto my hosters server.

Then you should best ask your hoster to install ffmpeg for you.
Another possibility could be to install ffmpeg and its libraries that are not already on the system (and only those) into a directory hierarchy that is reachable by your webserver executable during runtime but *NOT* under your domain's paths (e.g. not under /var/www/ or www/ or public_html/ or wherever your site's pages are under), for example /home/you/usr/... i.e. /home/you/usr/bin/ffmpeg and /home/you/usr//lib64/ for the libraries. However, that approach is cumbersome and error prone and heavily depends on your system and its libraries and you may have to adapt things whenever the system is updated. The command line to enter in the videoJS FFmpeg binary path edit field then would be
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/you/usr/lib64 /home/you/usr/bin/ffmpeg

I just asked my hoster about it and they said no... it uses a lot of resources so they don't do it on shared servers but do on dedicated servers.
Thanks for all the help though. :)
