ERROR: Failed to open *.params

**musicandmotion** · 10-12-2007, 09:31 PM

Everything seems to be working ok now. Uploaded 4 videos and they run ok. Went to do a fifth and get this message?

ERROR: Failed to open /home/mmvideos/public_html/templates_c/8112db0a15de3e427fb5cf9c441149c0.params

Tried video in both .mov and .wmv formats to no avail. So not sure what this means.
Please advise.

Please make sure You have correct path in cgi-bin/uu_default_config.pm
.don't press refresh button while uploading.

Path is correct as nothing has been altered since it worked and upload the first 4 videos fine, when doing any ones thereafter, started to encounter this.

Also, did not hit refresh button at all.

Any other ideas of what to check?

Some more info... tried uploading .wmv file

When I changed video_conversion.php command from...
'$video_src' -o $video_flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:l ast_pred=3 -srate 22050 -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_fram es";

TO

$cmd_mencoder = "$config[mencoder] '$video_src' -o $video_flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:l ast_pred=3 -srate 22050 -ofps 24";

The file uploads ok, makes thumbnail, but back to original problem where it does not play.

It seems you have problem with your mencoder installation.

Try running following command on SSH prompt

Code:

/usr/local/bin/mencoder '/home/mmvideos/public_html/video/Lament_1.wmv' -o /home/mmvideos/public_html/flvideo/1192366062562016399.flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -srate 22050 -ofps 24

If your mencoder is installed properly, it will create file

/home/mmvideos/public_html/flvideo/1192366062562016399.flv

If the file is not created, your mencoder is not properly working, may need a reinstall, ask your server admin/web host to check why the convert command is not working.

Hi,

I am getting the ERROR: Failed to open .params and my host says that mencoder is installed properly. I don't know how to check it myself. I only have problems when I upload larger files.
