If I feed url
with http
, such as this:
ffmpeg -i http://vjs.zencdn.net/v/oceans.mp4 videojs.mp4
It works perfectly. H
The answer can be found in the error message.
Recompile FFmpeg with openssl, ...
So, recompile ffmpeg
with the required dependencies.
You can read more about the process here, and during the ./configure
step, just add --with-openssl
(or --enable-openssl
if you're using a newer version).
Make sure that you have these packages installed: build-essential
, openssl
, libssl-dev
In the comments, you said that you're using Ubuntu, so you can easily install these packages using apt-get install
.
After installation, you can execute ffmpeg -protocols
to make sure that you have https
listed there.
By the way, your video (on AWS
), can be accessed via the http
protocol.
Add --enable-openssl to the ./configure line
.
The --with-openssl
does not work presently.
This is my whole line:
$ ./configure --prefix="$HOME/scr1/ffmpeg_build" --extra-cflags="-
I$HOME/scr1/ffmpeg_build/include" --extra-ldflags="-
L$HOME/scr1/ffmpeg_build/lib" --bindir="$HOME/scr1/bin" --pkg-config-
flags="--static" --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-libfdk-aac --
enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-
libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-openssl
The correct answer to this question as of Sep 2015 is
./configure --enable-openssl
and if you have ubuntu then make sure you sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
.
