FFmpeg

To use certain features in danser, which is background video playback and offscreen recording, you need to have ffmpeg and ffprobe CLI tools installed.

Windows

Download

Download win64-gpl-shared latest version from https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases

Installation only for danser

Extract everything (you can skip ffplay) from bin directory to danser's directory like this:

Global installation (because FFmpeg is cool)

  1. Create an FFmpeg directory in C:\Program Files\, so C:\Program Files\FFmpeg
  2. Extract everything from downloaded archive to the newly created directory:
  3. Add C:\Program Files\FFmpeg\bin directory to System's Path:
  4. You need to close the console window (if you had it opened) and open it again, otherwise it won't notice that FFmpeg had been installed.

Linux

Download an ffmpeg package using package manager installed on your system, eventually do the same as in #Installation only for danser but download linux64-gpl-shared version of FFmpeg
