FFmpeg Build v1.0.38

FFmpeg Cross-Platform Build v1.0.38

Internal Build for NoMercy MediaServer

Cross-platform FFmpeg 8.1.2 binaries. This release adds a new build target (FreeBSD), a new custom audio filter (keydetect), an npm distribution client, signed release manifests, and several build/CI fixes.

Highlights

🆕 New platform: FreeBSD x86_64

• New ffmpeg-freebsd-x86_64.dockerfile build target, fully integrated into the CI build matrix (plus a freebsd-debug.dockerfile for local debugging).
• Brings the supported platform count to six; the manual real-hardware test checklist now includes FreeBSD.
• CI smoke test uses ELF-header validation for this target (see CI & testing below), since a FreeBSD binary cannot execute on the Linux runners — the real-hardware pass was verified before release.

🎵 New keydetect audio filter

A custom filter (scripts/57-keydetect.sh + af_keydetect.c) that detects the musical key and chord progression of audio:

• HPCP-style chroma extraction with spectral peak picking, harmonic folding, and automatic tuning detection (handles detuned material, verified to ±30 cents).
• Krumhansl-Schmuckler key finding with selectable profiles: krumhansl, temperley, shaath (default), edma.
• 24 major/minor chord templates with score smoothing and minimum-duration segmenting.
• Emits per-frame metadata (lavfi.keydetect.key, .key_confidence, .chord, .chords) plus a parseable stderr summary at EOF, in the same style as beatdetect.
• Usage: ffmpeg -i in.mp3 -af keydetect -f null - 2>&1 | grep lavfi.keydetect
• Verified against a pristine FFmpeg 8.1.2 tree with a synthesized functional suite: major/minor/sharp-root keys, chord progressions, stereo, detune, added noise, 48 kHz, seventh chords, silence, and all four key profiles.

📦 npm client: @nomercy-entertainment/ffmpeg-static (#34)

• New npm package under clients/npm/ that resolves and downloads the correct prebuilt ffmpeg/ffprobe binary for the host platform.
• Exposes ffmpeg-path / ffprobe-path bins, TypeScript API, platform detection with tests, and a dedicated npm-publish.yml CI workflow.
• Groundwork laid for additional ecosystems (see clients/README-multi-ecosystem.md).

Fixed

beatdetect: FFT stride contract violation

• The av_tx_fn call passed sizeof(float) as the stride, but the tx.h contract for AV_TX_FLOAT_FFT requires the size of one complex sample (sizeof(AVComplexFloat)).
• This was a latent spec violation — current c2c FFT codelets ignore the stride, so no behavioral change: beatdetect still reports correct BPM (119.80 on a synthesized 120 BPM pulse train). Fixed before a future libavutil could make it bite.

Smoke tests: ELF-header validation instead of cross-executing foreign binaries

• Cross-built binaries (linux-aarch64, freebsd-x86_64) cannot reliably be executed on the x86_64 Linux CI runners — a foreign-arch ELF fails with "Exec format error", while a same-arch foreign-OS ELF loads and then segfaults due to the differing syscall ABI.
• The smoke test now validates the ELF header (magic + machine + OSABI branding) for known cross-exec platforms instead of executing them, which also catches mislabeled or truncated artifacts. Native platforms are still always executed.

Changed

FFmpeg 8.1.2 version bump

• All Dockerfiles and CI updated from the previous FFmpeg version to 8.1.2.
• Docker base_tag pinning for reproducible builds; debug mode switched off.
• Build-script updates across the dependency chain (openssl, fontconfig, libbluray, libdvdread, davs2, rav1e, libvpx, xavs2, xvid, libwebp, libvpl, AMF, SDL2, ffnvcodec, CUDA, whisper, librsvg) including libudfread build-log improvements.

🔐 Release integrity: SHA256 sidecars and signed manifest

• Every release asset now ships with a .sha256 sidecar containing its hex digest.
• A manifest.json lists every asset with its SHA-256 hash and byte size.
• The pipeline can additionally attach manifest.json.sig, a detached ASCII-armored GPG signature over manifest.json signed with the NoMercy Entertainment org key; the media server treats the signature as optional when absent.
• Applies to both Release Candidate prereleases and final releases.

Platforms

• Linux x86_64 / aarch64
• Windows x86_64
• macOS x86_64 / arm64 (Apple Silicon)
• FreeBSD x86_64 (new)

All six platforms passed the full manual test suite (tests/tests.sh / tests/tests.ps1) on real hardware, including hardware-acceleration verification (NVENC / AMF / VPL) where applicable.

Each archive ships with a .sha256 sidecar containing the hex digest.

Verify an archive:
