# FFmpegDirectory

The `FFmpegDirectory` parameter sets the path to the FFmpeg libraries that are installed with IDOL Speech Server. These libraries are required for the `wav` module to be able to accept a range of media files as input. If this parameter is not set, the `wav` module (and therefore most tasks) can only accept 16-bit, linear, PCM WAV files.

The installer sets the initial value of the `FFmpegDirectory` parameter during installation.

NOTE:

On Linux platforms, the FFmpeg directory must be included in the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable. The default start script, included with the IDOL Speech Server installation, sets this environment variable when you start the server. However, if you change the directory or if you do not use the standard script, you must update the environment variable manually.
