Install from Tyberis
Choose New external source (ffmpeg)... and select Install. Tyberis asks Windows Package Manager to install the FFmpeg Essentials package and detects it immediately. No application restart is normally required.
Connect almost any audio source with FFmpeg.
Tyberis Audio Tracker handles compatible HTTP streams directly. An existing FFmpeg installation adds UDP multicast, specialist capture devices, filters, unusual formats, and custom input pipelines.
FFmpeg is optional and installed separately. Use a built-in streaming source for ordinary web radio. For an external source, Tyberis starts FFmpeg 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.
Install with WinGet
Open Windows Terminal and run:
winget install --exact --id Gyan.FFmpeg.EssentialsReturn to Tyberis and reopen the external source editor.
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.exe02
Verify the source
The integration editor can test the executable and wait for real PCM audio before you save it.

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