ffmpeg build instructions

***WELCOME ALL***

#Today we will build a COMPLETE and COMPLETELY-WORKING, UP TO DATE, FFmpeg with NVencoding + Cuda + OpenGL + OpenCL + libnpp + everything else you could possibly want.

#WORKING + UP TO DATE build guide from source, I will also be building the current up to date OBS for Ubuntu, Mint, Debian for use with NVenc also.



***First before we start anything we will need three things installed, built and placed into specific paths:*** 

1: Nvidia driver: :http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/375.39/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.39.run

2: Cuda 7.5: (Officially supports NVenc and Cuda)  http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/7.5/Prod/local_installers/cuda_7.5.18_linux.run

3: Video_Codec_SDK: https://developer.nvidia.com/designworks/video_codec_sdk/downloads/v7.1


#***Now comes the fun! First we need to install Nvidia diver:

#Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 at log-in screen (type in user-name and password into command line
*No Apple Keyboards* #You may be able to change that in the keyboard settings, but it might be a little harder without GUI

#Still cant drop to a shell without Xserver? Press "e" at grub menu to edit the boot options.

#adding "nomodeset" to your grub boot options right after "quiet splash" near the bottom line will help you press f10 to finish booting

#Now log in with your username and password to the CLI and now we can start issuing the commands

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

#Add the following lines to the bottom of the file

blacklist amd76x_edac
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv

#Hold Control + o then hit Enter to save

#Hold Control + x then hit Enter to exit

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

sudo service lightdm stop

#for Mint its "sudo service mdm stop" Somtimes you will need to kill lightdm other ways just google it,
bottom line xsever cannot be running while installing this driver)

cd ~/Downloads

wget us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/375.39/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.39.run

sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.39.run

sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.39.run

sudo nvidia-xconfig

sudo update-initramfs -u

sudo reboot

#When computer reboots we cant start inatalling the Video_Codec_SDK


#*** Installing Video_Codec_SDK ***

           $: cd Downloads
 /Downloads$: firefox https://developer.nvidia.com/designworks/video_codec_sdk/downloads/v7.1
 
#Just accept the EULA and Download, after the download finishes be sure to place SDK inside your Download folder IMPORTANT!!!!
 
           $: cd Downloads
 /Downloads$: unzip Video_Codec_SDK_7.1.9
 /Downloads$: cd ~/Video_Codec_SDK_7.1.9/Samples
           $: make
           $: sudo cp ~/Downloads/Video_Codec_SDK_7.1.9/Samples/common/inc/*.h /usr/local/include
           $: sudo cp ~/Downloads/Video_Codec_SDK_7.1.9/Samples/common/inc/GL/*.h /usr/local/include

#***Now we install Cuda 7.5 and move those files to the proper paths***
 
sudo service lightdm stop

#for Mint the command is: 

sudo service mdm stop

#SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO FIND OTHER METHODS TO KILL XSERVER

cd ~/Downloads

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/7.5/Prod/local_installers/cuda_7.5.18_linux.run

sudo chmod +x cuda_7.5.18_linux.run

sudo ./cuda_7.5.18_linux.run --override

#Just say yes to the unsupported configuartion the compiler changed but worked fine anyway with the --override flag

#Say NO to installing the driver! but yes to the SDK and the Paths for install locations are fine at default

#Once the install is finished we need to copy our cuda file to the proper path.

sudo cp ~/usr/local/cuda/include /cuda.h /usr/local/include       

#Done for now... You are set up and ready to build FFmpeg with a shit load of extra options including NVencoding AKA ShadowPlay!


***Compile FFmpeg on Ubuntu, Debian, or Mint***


This guide for supported releases of Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint will provide a local install of the latest FFmpeg tools and libraries including several external encoding and decoding libraries (codecs). This will not interfere with repository packages.

$: sudo apt-get update
$: sudo apt-get -y install autoconf automake build-essential libass-dev libfreetype6-dev 
$: sudo apt-get -y install libsdl2-dev libtheora-dev libtool libva-dev libvdpau-dev libvorbis-dev libxcb1-dev libxcb-shm0-dev
$: sudo apt-get -y install libxcb-xfixes0-dev pkg-config texinfo zlib1g-dev

Now make a directory.

***COMMAND TO UNINSTALL AND START FRESH!

 rm -rf ~/ffmpeg_build ~/ffmpeg_sources ~/bin/{ffmpeg,ffprobe,ffplay,ffserver,vsyasm,x264,x265,yasm,ytasm}


NOW GO BUILD OBS!!! YOU ARE ALMOST DONE!!!

(optional) FIRST REMOVE OBS-STUDIO incase you have tried this already and messed it up before.

sudo dpkg -r obs-studio 

OK ready to build now!

git clone https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio.git
cd obs-studio
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make -j4
sudo checkinstall --pkgname=obs-studio --fstrans=no --backup=no \
       --pkgversion="$(date +%Y%m%d)-git" --deldoc=yes



THATS IT! YOU NOW CAN ENCODE USING NVENC ON YOUR GPU ON UBUNTU, MINT and DEBIAN.
