What is FFmate?

FFmate is not just another media processing server, it’s a powerful extension of FFmpeg that makes it more accessible, automated, and feature-rich.

While FFmpeg is an incredible media toolkit, it lacks essential capabilities like queue management, a REST API, watchfolder monitoring, out-of-the-box presets, webhook notifications, and a user-friendly interface.

FFmate fills these gaps, bringing FFmpeg’s full power to developers, workflow engineers, and non-technical users alike.

🚀 Key Features

• Queueing System – Submit and manage multiple concurrent FFmpeg jobs efficiently.
• Dynamic Filename Wildcards – Enable smart and customizable output file naming.
• Webhook Notifications – Receive real-time updates for seamless integration with external workflows.
• Watchfolder – Automatically detect and process new files as they appear.
• Pre & Post Processing Actions – Execute custom commands or scripts before and after transcoding.
• Preconfigured Presets – Simplify common media conversion tasks with ready-to-use settings.
• Web UI – Monitor and configure transcoding workflows with an intuitive interface.
