ffmpeg

Version 2026.144.1443
Repo superproject

FFmpeg provides command-line audio/video transcoding and media inspection Installs the ffmpeg package (from the negativo17 fedora-multimedia repo on Fedora, core/extra on Arch). It ships the ffmpeg transcoder and the ffprobe media inspector under /usr/bin, both of which print a version banner to stdout — so their presence and basic operability are directly verifiable.

This candy’s plan: — the runnable spec charly check executes against a live deployment. check: steps are idempotent probes; run: steps change state.

Intent Step
check the ffmpeg transcoder binary is installed at /usr/bin/ffmpeg
check ffmpeg prints its version banner to stdout
check the ffprobe media inspector binary is installed at /usr/bin/ffprobe
check ffprobe prints its version banner to stdout
check package=ffmpeg
