A Node-RED node used for spawning a long-running ffmpeg process to handle video/image processing.

• designed to be a thin wrapper around ffmpeg using child_process.spawn
• ffmpeg executable binary must be installed or built separately

• You should have working knowledge of ffmpeg on the command line.
• If you have difficulties making it work, please open a new discussion and tag me @kevinGodell.
• Please, do not send private messages asking for help because that will not benefit others with similar issues.

• go to the correct directory, usually ~/.node-red

cd ~/.node-red

• using npm

npm install node-red-contrib-ffmpeg-spawn

• using yarn

yarn add node-red-contrib-ffmpeg-spawn

• reboot the node-red server

node-red-stop && node-red-start

• See the detailed help text in the side bar.
