ffmpegserver

This is a simple Flask-based FFmpeg server that accepts video uploads, uses hardware encoders when available, and returns the processed file.

Features:

• Upload a video file and choose encoding settings
• Supports hardware encoders (NVENC, QSV, AMF, VAAPI) if detected
• Advanced extra args field for passing ffmpeg flags
• Progress updates via polling
• Temporary files auto-cleaned after configurable lifetime

Requirements:

• Python 3.8+
• Flask
• FFmpeg and FFprobe installed and accessible in PATH

Install and run:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py

Open http://localhost:5000 in your browser.

Security note:

• This server allows advanced ffmpeg args; it sanitizes some characters but it's not hardened for public internet exposure. Run behind authentication if exposing to untrusted users.
