FFMpeg.StaticFetcher
A small .NET 8 library that downloads static FFmpeg and FFprobe binaries for the current OS and architecture — auto-detecting the archive format and leaving ready-to-run executables in your output folder.
Install
dotnet add package FFMpeg.StaticFetcher
Usage
using FFMpeg.StaticFetcher;
// Download the latest ffmpeg + ffprobe to ./ffmpeg.
// Reused on later calls — no re-download when they're already present.
var binaries = await FFMpegStaticFetcher.DownloadBinaries();
// binaries.FFMpegPath / binaries.FFProbePath are absolute paths, ready to run.
All parameters are optional:
// Just ffmpeg, into a custom folder:
await FFMpegStaticFetcher.DownloadBinaries(binaries: FFMpegBinary.FFMpeg, outputFolder: "./bin");
// Pin a specific release:
await FFMpegStaticFetcher.DownloadBinaries(version: "b6.1.1");
// Reuse what's on disk, but re-download when a newer build ships:
await FFMpegStaticFetcher.DownloadBinaries(mode: FetchMode.ReFetchIfNewer);
// Use an already-installed ffmpeg if present, otherwise download:
await FFMpegStaticFetcher.DownloadBinaries(systemBinaries: SystemBinaryPolicy.Prefer);
Highlights
- Auto-detects OS/arch (Windows, Linux, macOS — x64/x86/arm/arm64) and the archive format (gzip, xz, bzip2, zip, 7z, rar, their
tar.*variants, or a raw binary). - Reuse-if-present by default; opt into "re-fetch if newer" or a full reload.
- Optionally prefer a machine-installed
ffmpeg, including version-aware policies. - Point at a different repository or a private mirror via
FetcherSettings. - Secure by default:
https-only overrides, size-bounded downloads, no zip-slip. - One dependency (SharpCompress).
