Ubuntu install php5-ffmpeg

When I try to install php5-ffmpeg:

apt-get install php5-ffmpeg

I get an error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 php5-ffmpeg : Depends: phpapi-20090626+lfs

As I understand my php5-ffmpeg was broken when I upgraded php from 5.3 to 5.4.

How can I fix it? I tried some options like -f, -ingnore-dependencies but that did not fix it.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS.

Solution 1:

First try to resolve dependency using below PPA but this version is End Of Life, recommended to upgrade php-5.6

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-oldstable
sudo apt-get update

Then

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media   
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel

Download php-ffmpeg from http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/ and extract.

cd ffmpeg-php-<version>
./configure
make 
sudo make

Edit php.ini file and add this end of file :

extension=ffmpeg.so

Last week I successfully installed this extension on centos 6
