Hi there!

I've moved to an other host and i got a problem with the script, everything is installed fine, this is the output:

Hi,

check which version of mencoder new hosting is using, I mean if is the same of the old one.
And check path of flvtool.

I hope you solve ;)

[pjohn]

Have no idea what was the version of the mencoder on the old host :)
Btw i've enabled flvtool in the miscelious setting in admin panel is that ok?
PS: checking the path with the host at the moment

EDIT: so the paths are correct, version of mencoder: MEncoder 1.0rc2-3.4.2 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team

Thank you

Edit the video_conversion.php (include/settings)
Try to use the following command

  $cmd_mencoder = "$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:last_pred=3 -srate 22050 -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames";

Tried before also tried now, but with no luck.. :(

Also should i enable flvtool in the admin menu or not?

[pjohn]

btw version of mencoder, in case it helps:
MEncoder 1.0rc2-3.4.2 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team

The command you should be using with Mencoder RC2 is:

$cmd_mencoder = "$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:last_pred=3 -srate 22050 -ofps 24 -vf harddup";

As for flvtool, turning it on or off is your choice. Basically, the tool creates metadata inside of the FLV file. Default installs of vShare do not have a need for the flvtool. However, if you use streaming products such as RTMP, Lighttpd, or some sort of PHP based streaming, you will need to have metadata in your FLV files.

I think i was using that command (only the arguments were in different order however i think that can't be a problem)

output:

Login to your server via SSH and type in the output command that is showing up and see if you get an error. A blank array means that mencoder is not being loaded. I have seen this happen with people who have jailed accounts.
