Using FFmpeg in your app

Create a file named apt-packages in your app and insert the apt-get package you need:

ffmpeg

Ubuntu dropped ffmpeg from it's main apt-get repository that why we need to specify a custom apt repository. Simply add a file named apt-repositories with the following content:

ppa:mc3man/trusty-media

FFmpeg will be available to your apps code after deployment.

Important: The apt-repositories file needs to have an empty line at the end. Experimental Platform uses this dokku plugin to support apt packages.
