Install ffmpeg in debian 8 jessie

Installing ffmpeg from source have been a pain in the ass for me that wasted 5 hours of my time with no success.

On the other hand ffmpeg is not in debian jessie repo. But thankfully there is still a simple solution:



It is now available for Jessy as a backport: https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/ffmpeg
Add something like this to /etc/apt/sources.list (with your preferred mirror):
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
Then
apt-get update
apt-get install ffmpeg


Which installs `ffmpeg version 3.2.2-1~bpo8+1`


Thanks this good fella, Dan

chmod a+x /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon

update-rc.d deluge-daemon defaults

reboot -h now

------------------------

After new login:

mkdir /var/www/torrent

In browser vitis:

yourserverip::8112

Enter the server password 'deluge' and reset it.

Go to `Preferences` and set `/var/www/torrent` as the download path.

Good to Go!




This tutorial works on Debian  7 and 8. But in Debian 8 apache2 configs need to be a bit tweaked to show the files in /torrent folder.

You need to add these lines :

Options +Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing FoldersFirst NameWidth=* DescriptionWidth=*

to /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

and change the DocumentRoot from /var/www/html to /var/www

In order to be able to have proper directory listing
