<div class='note'>
If you are running Home Assistant Core in a Python environment, you'll need have the `ffmpeg` binary in your system path.
On Debian 8 or Raspbian (Jessie) you can install it from [debian-backports](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/). If you want [hardware acceleration](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro) support on a Raspberry Pi, you will need to build from source by yourself.

This integration supports all FFmpeg versions since 3.0.0. If you run
the Home Assistant Operating System or use the Home Assistant Container,
this is already pre-installed for you. In all other cases, make sure
you have FFmpeg installed on your system.

### Raspbian Debian Jessie Lite Installations
To get the binary on Raspbian Debian Jessie Lite on a Raspberry Pi you need to perform the following:
```bash
sudo echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install ffmpeg
```
We can use now following in the configuration:
```yaml
ffmpeg:
ffmpeg_bin: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
```
### Troubleshooting
In most cases, `ffmpeg` automatically detects all needed options to read a video or audio stream or file. But it is possible in rare cases that you will need to set options to help `ffmpeg` out.
