When we upload a video, the filesize of video in /flvideo is 0 bytes. Obviously nothing plays when we click the video thumbnails to try and play the video... I have uploaded a .flv video and it plays correctly, so something must be wrong with convertor? ffmpeg is showing in phpinfo.php...
Any suggestions? Thx
It seems problem with the ffmpeg or mencoder, do you have the correct path in config.php ? What is site url ?
Our site is internal and not live on the internet yet...
Here is the contents of config.php
<?
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING);
session_start();
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_user = "vshare";
$db_pass = "vshare";
$db_name = "vshare";
$config = array();
$config['ffmpeg'] = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg";
$config['mplayer'] = "/usr/local/bin/mplayer";
$config['mencoder'] = "/usr/local/bin/mencoder";
$config['flvtool'] = "/usr/bin/flvtool2";
$config['basedir'] = "/var/www/html/pro";
$config['baseurl'] = "http://ae/pro";
include("vshare.php");
?>
I checked the locations of the tools and all are correct. I am manually able to use ffmpeg to convert to .flv video via command line, and I can use mplayer to play videos. I am unsure of the correct syntax of mencoder, so I have not tested it to see if it converts properly. All files above are in the path, and if i type mencoder it executes and asks for input file etc...
EDIT: I figured out the command syntax for mencoder and it worked from command line as well...
I appreciate more assistance, thanks again.
Enable debug in admin area, upload a video, then check the templates_c/debug.txt
Check if the convert command in that works on command line.

Codec problem?
yes, you need to reinstall ffmpeg with more codec support.
Install with following configuration support most formats

Enable debug in admin is this able to be turned off once the server is live? Or should it be left on?
You can keep it on if you wish, it won't make any difference in performance.
