ffmpeg installation package on Raspberry Pi

I would like to install the ffmpeg package on venus OS with raspberry Pi.

This package is not included in the standard repository of Venus os, i tried:

opkg install ffmpeg

i also tried to find a correct package which has the .ipk archive, but no result.

Does anybody have succesfully installed ffmpeg package onto a raspberry Pi with Venus OS?

Well if you time + a decent computer, have a look at https://github.com/victronenergy/venus.

make raspberrypi2-bb
bitbake ffmpeg

The ipk will then be in deploy/venus/ipk/.. One caveat, there is a license issue apparently. You need to add

LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial"

to build/conf/local.conf. I happily leave it up to you what that implies.

Thanks for your reply,

I checked the link but i think it's far above my level of knowledge about those topics. and yes also i don't have a decent computer and time.

is was hoping somebody already had the correct ipk package that i could use, the ones i found were for openWRT routers and didn't work on raspberry
