steelbrain/ffmpeg-over-ip v5.1.0 on GitHub

Highlights

One-line install scripts for client and server — curl | sh on Linux/macOS and irm | iex on Windows
Configure via environment variables — no config file required for Docker and scripted deployments

New Features

One-line install scripts (#9)

Install the client or server in one command:

# Linux / macOS
curl -fsSL https://ffmpeg-over-ip.com/install-client.sh | sh
curl -fsSL https://ffmpeg-over-ip.com/install-server.sh | sh

# Windows
irm https://ffmpeg-over-ip.com/install-client.ps1 | iex
irm https://ffmpeg-over-ip.com/install-server.ps1 | iex

The scripts download the latest release into the current directory, prompt interactively for address and authSecret, and generate ffmpeg-over-ip.<role>.jsonc. macOS quarantine and Windows MOTW attributes are
stripped automatically. Re-runs are idempotent — already-installed binaries and existing config files are skipped (set FOIP_FORCE=1 to re-download).

Environment variable configuration (#13)

Both client and server can now be configured entirely via environment variables — no config file needed:

Variable	Required	Description
`FFMPEG_OVER_IP_{CLIENT,SERVER}_ADDRESS`	Yes	Address to connect to / listen on
`FFMPEG_OVER_IP_{CLIENT,SERVER}_AUTH_SECRET`	Yes	HMAC auth secret
`FFMPEG_OVER_IP_{CLIENT,SERVER}_LOG`	No	`stdout`, `stderr`, or file path
`FFMPEG_OVER_IP_SERVER_DEBUG`	No	`true`/`1`/`yes`/`y` to log arg rewrites

When both _ADDRESS and _AUTH_SECRET are set (and no _CONFIG env var or --config flag is in play), config is read entirely from env vars. Useful for Docker:

docker run \
  -e FFMPEG_OVER_IP_CLIENT_ADDRESS=192.168.1.100:5050 \
  -e FFMPEG_OVER_IP_CLIENT_AUTH_SECRET=your-secret \
  -v ./ffmpeg-over-ip-client:/usr/bin/ffmpeg \
  your-image

Note: rewrites still requires a config file.

UX

Install script prompts now show [default=5050] instead of [5050] so the default-on-Enter value is unambiguous

Compatibility

Fully backwards-compatible — existing config file deployments work without changes. The new env var mode is opt-in.
