Internal Build Tool for NoMercy MediaServer
High-performance, cross-platform FFmpeg binaries optimized for media processing
This repository contains the build infrastructure for creating optimized FFmpeg binaries specifically tailored for the NoMercy MediaServer ecosystem. These builds include custom configurations, codecs, and optimizations that enhance media processing capabilities within our platform.
⚠️ Internal Use Only
These FFmpeg builds are specifically configured for NoMercy MediaServer and may not be suitable for general-purpose use. For standard FFmpeg binaries, please visit the official FFmpeg website.
Our build system uses a modular Docker-based approach with automated CI/CD pipelines:
- Linux: x86_64, aarch64 (ARM64)
- Windows: x86_64
- macOS: x86_64, Apple Silicon (ARM64)
- 🔒 Security Scanning: All binaries undergo vulnerability assessment
- 🧪 Automated Testing: Cross-platform validation and quality assurance
- 📦 Artifact Management: Versioned releases with platform-specific packages
- 🔄 Smart Builds: Intelligent change detection to optimize build times
- 🛡️ Reproducible Builds: Consistent, deterministic compilation process
Our GitHub Actions workflows provide a complete automation pipeline:

While our builds are feature-rich, some official FFmpeg features are intentionally excluded:
| Feature | Reason for Exclusion | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Libraries | Static linking for portability | ⚪ No dynamic linking |
| Network Protocols | Some legacy protocols removed | ⚪ Focused on modern streaming |
| Debug Symbols | Production optimization | ⚪ Smaller binary size |
| Certain Legacy Codecs | Maintenance and security | ⚪ Focus on modern standards |
- Static Linking: All dependencies bundled (larger binaries, no dependency issues)
- GPL/LGPL/Nonfree: Includes patent-encumbered codecs for internal use
- Cross-Platform: Consistent feature set across all supported platforms
- Security Hardened: Built with stack protection and fortification
