Desktop integration

Connect almost any audio source with FFmpeg.

Tyberis Audio Tracker can use an existing FFmpeg installation for internet streams, UDP multicast, Windows capture devices, specialist hardware, and custom input pipelines.

FFmpeg is optional and installed separately. Tyberis starts it as an independent program and receives raw audio through a standard pipe.
01

Install FFmpeg on Windows

The desktop app can perform the recommended installation for you. If that is unavailable, use one of these methods.

Recommended

Install from Tyberis

Open New FFmpeg integration… and select Install. Tyberis asks Windows Package Manager to install the FFmpeg Essentials package and detects it immediately. No application restart is normally required.

Command line

Install with WinGet

Open Windows Terminal and run:

winget install --exact --id Gyan.FFmpeg.Essentials

Return to Tyberis and reopen the FFmpeg integration editor.

Custom build

Choose ffmpeg.exe

Download a Windows build from the official FFmpeg download page, extract it, then select the full executable path in Tyberis.

C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe

02

Verify the source

The integration editor can test the executable and wait for real PCM audio before you save it.

  1. FFmpeg readyTyberis shows the detected version and executable path.
  2. Test sourceTyberis opens the source and confirms that 11,025 Hz, signed 16-bit mono audio is arriving.
  3. Save changesThe configuration can then be assigned to any desktop channel.

You can also verify a manual installation in Windows Terminal with ffmpeg -version.

03

Input examples

Enter input, device, mapping, and filter arguments only. Tyberis controls the final PCM output.

Internet stream

-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5 -i "https://station.example/live.mp3"

UDP multicast

-i "udp://239.1.2.3:5000?localaddr=192.168.1.20&fifo_size=1000000&overrun_nonfatal=1"

Windows DirectShow device

-f dshow -i audio="Capture device name"

Choose a specific audio stream

-i "input" -map 0:a:1
Available inputs depend on the FFmpeg build. Some professional hardware integrations, including Blackmagic DeckLink, require a custom FFmpeg build and the vendor SDK. Select that build’s ffmpeg.exe directly in Tyberis.
