This buildpack is no longer maintained by its original author.

Heroku maintains an official buildpack that installs ffmpeg.

While its original purpose is to provide ffmpeg, as well as several PDF conversion programs, for users of Ruby on Rails, it can be used with any application and any programming language that requires the ffmpeg command-line program.

A Heroku buildpack for ffmpeg that always downloads the latest static build. Unlike other build packs, I never compile anything.

Run the following from the heroku command line:

heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 https://github.com/jonathanong/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg-latest.git

You can set a custom download URL by setting the variable FFMPEG_DOWNLOAD_URL.

Note: This buildpack should be added before the main language buildpack (by using --index 1), since the application process types are calculated from the last buildpack in the list if no Procfile is specified.
