Hi I am building a discord bot and would like to use ffmpeg in it but am working on repl.it. How can I use ffmpeg on repl.it if I can?

This is for translating a .webm file into an .mp4 file, running on python 3.7.4. I have had a look on the repl.it forums and on Stack Overflow but cannot find any information.

Thanks!

    What code have you tried? – rassar Oct 18 '19 at 11:49
  • I have tried to use the packages menu to install ffmpeg but it says that it can't find it in /bin/sh when I try to run a command to convert a .webm to a .mp4 using os.popen() –  Oct 18 '19 at 11:52
  • You can use Replit's nix feature by running `ffmpeg` in the shell and select yes on the prompt to install. – code Oct 07 '22 at 05:32

You can download i686 of ffmpeg compressed file from this link.

After downloading it, extract it, then upload the ffmpeg file inside to your repl.it project.

You can use the replit built in shell

chmod +777 ./ffmpeg

After that, type in

ffmpeg [command]

into the shell

As far as I know, you can't use ffmpeg on Repl.it. However, you can run a discord bot on Repl.it, at least one that doesn't use audio. Based on the programming language you are using, I strongly suggest a service such as Heroku or PythonAnywhere.
