# `ffmpegd`
An FFmpeg server with a websocket API for [FFmpeg Commander](https://github.com/alfg/ffmpeg-commander).

The goal is to provide a simple interface for sending FFmpeg jobs from the browser (and other supported clients in the future) while reporting realtime progress details.

**Currently a work-in-progress!*

## Install
```
$ go get -u github.com/alfg/ffmpegd
```

Release binaries coming soon.

## Usage
* [ffmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html) must be installed and available on your `$PATH`.
* Run `ffmpegd`:
```
$ ffmpegd
```

This wil start the websocket server in your current working directory and wait for a connection.

* Go to https://alfg.github.io/ffmpeg-commander/ in the browser
* Enable `ffmpegd` in Options.
* Once connected, you can start sending encode jobs to ffmpegd!

## Example
### `ffmpegd` with a job in progress from `ffmpeg-commander`
```
$ ffmpegd
