FFmpegBlazor 1.0.0.6

FFmpegBlazor

FFmpegBlazor provides ability to utilize ffmpeg.wasm from Blazor Wasm C#.
ffmpeg.wasm is a pure Webassembly / Javascript port of FFmpeg. It enables video & audio record, convert and stream right inside browsers.
FFmpegBlazor integrates nicely with Blazor InputFile Component. Supports Lazy loading of ffmpeg binary. It is self hosted version one time download of core ffmpeg wasm lib will be 25Mb.

Roadmap for .NET 7

• Reduce extra configuration steps aka no longer need to add Wasm headers.
• Robust integration with .NET 7 wasm threads

Installation

Download package via Nuget or DotNet CLI and you are good to go , no extra configuration required.

dotnet add package FFmpegBlazor 

API Documentation

Running WASM App

Currently we need to use a workaround to run FFmpegApps on web assembly, this will be removed in .NET 7 (Early September 2022) once Multi threading support is available on WASM.

We need to add 2 headers in Blazor WASM-local-server and in actual deployment static server also

Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp
Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin

To do so we can create a web.config file in root of our project with content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
	<system.webServer>
		<httpProtocol>
			<customHeaders>
				<add name="Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy" value="require-corp"/>
				<add name="Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy" value="same-origin"/>
			</customHeaders>
		</httpProtocol>
	</system.webServer>

</configuration>

Use IIS Express to run apps locally. Also In actual deployment we need to add these 2 headers in server config to avoid SharedArrayBuffer not defined error. You can check Netlify deployment sample here. <br/>Thanks to @aokocax for helping with it.

Sample

Here is a sample page to convert mp4 to mp3 and play it in browser.

@page "/"
@using FFmpegBlazor
@inject IJSRuntime Runtime
@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Forms


<InputFile OnChange="fileLoad" /><br /> <br />
<video width="300" height="200" autoplay controls src="@url" /><br /><br />
<button class="btn btn-primary" @onclick="Process">Convert Mp3</button><br /><br />
<audio controls src="@url2" />

@code

    string url; string url2;

            FFmpegFactory.Logger += WriteLogs;
            FFmpegFactory.Progress += ProgressChange;
        }

        //initialize Library
        await FFmpegFactory.Init(Runtime);
    }

    async void fileLoad(InputFileChangeEventArgs v)
    {
        //get fist file from input selection
        var file = v.GetMultipleFiles()[0];

        //read all bytes
        using var stream = file.OpenReadStream(100000000); //Max size for file that can be read

        //read all bytes
        await stream.ReadAsync(buffer);

        await ff.Load(); 

        if (!ff.IsLoaded) return;

        Console.WriteLine($"Progress {m.Ratio}");

        //if ffmpeg processing is complete (generate a media URL so that it can be played or alternatively download that file)
        if (m.Ratio == 1)
        {
            //get bytepointer from c wasm to c#
            var res = await ff.ReadFile("output.mp3");


            //generate a url from file bufferPointer
            url2 = FFmpegFactory.CreateURLFromBuffer(res, "output.mp3", "audio/mp3");

            //Download the file instantly

            //FFmpegFactory.DownloadBufferAsFile(res, "output.mp3", "audio/mp3");

            StateHasChanged();
        }
    }

    void WriteLogs(Logs m)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(m.Type + " " + m.Message);
