FFmpeg NuGet Build and Publish

This repository builds FFmpeg shared libraries and CLI binaries and packages them as DevEnvy.FFmpeg.Binaries.LGPL.

What gets produced

• runtimes/win-x64/native/*.dll
• runtimes/win-x64/native/ffmpeg.exe
• runtimes/win-x64/native/ffprobe.exe
• runtimes/linux-x64/native/libav*.so*
• runtimes/linux-x64/native/ffmpeg
• runtimes/linux-x64/native/ffprobe
• runtimes/linux-musl-x64/native/libav*.so*
• runtimes/linux-musl-x64/native/ffmpeg
• runtimes/linux-musl-x64/native/ffprobe

CI workflow

Use .github/workflows/build-pack-publish.yml.

• workflow_dispatch:
  • ffmpeg_version: FFmpeg source version (for example 7.1.3)
  • package_version: NuGet package version
  • publish: publish to GitHub Packages (true/false)
• Tag push v*:
  • Uses package version from tag name (for example v1.2.3 -> 1.2.3)
  • Auto-publishes to GitHub Packages

Required auth

Publishing uses the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN with packages: write permission.

License posture

Build scripts intentionally use shared-library and non-GPL configure options:

• --enable-shared
• --disable-static
• --disable-gpl
• --disable-nonfree

Hardware notes

Vulkan support is required by the build scripts. If a build environment cannot provide compatible Vulkan headers, the build now fails instead of producing a reduced-feature package. This remains within the repository's LGPL posture because the package ships FFmpeg as shared libraries with --disable-gpl and --disable-nonfree, and Vulkan is enabled via compile-time headers plus runtime driver loading.
