Is this some bug!
My server has got back to me with this:

I just reinstalled ffmpeg and its components. I did a convert of an mps and a
svi file. All worked just fine.

And when I try to convert, I get this everytime:

Return value: Exiting...

Running flvtool2: /usr/bin/flvtool2 -U /home/xxxxxxxxxx/public_html/flvideo/11994622201329115951.flv

Convert Error or converted video is less than 1 kb in size, try upload a big video. If that do not work, verify convert command works on the server.

Sorry to be negative, but sort of useless if I have done everything asked, a piece of software going nowhere at the moment for me, would like someone to prove that I am doing something wrong.....

Check if the command

/usr/bin/flvtool2 -U /home/abeez/public_html/flvideo/11994622201329115951.flv

Work on your server, if not disable flvtool in admin area.

[abeez]

Ok Run that command and this was outcome with ssh:

Any ideas, also I am not getting e-mail of replies here left, even though Notify is checked!
Very frustrating the whole episode.

By the way can you edit out my username for server, in your last post please, I just noticed I left it on, I edited my other reply with server username, it's not critical, but hey no need to broadcast it......
Thanks Alan

Looking at this post:
http://forums.buyscripts.in/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2490

Is there a way I can use a host that fully garantees vshare and use that for converting, etc?

Like in admin use the
SERVERS OPTION (will that then mean that all files will go to that server and convert etc?)

[abeez]

Ah so it looks like admin support reply selectivly to post well how about a reply to this topic please.

[admin]

Your flvtool have some problem or permission settings. For now disable it.

For converting, if you have recent version of mplayer properly installed following command will conver the video to flv

/usr/local/bin/mencoder '/home/xxxx/public_html/video/hendbaby.avi' -o /home/abeez/public_html/flvideo/11995061141297215868.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 -vf harddup

Run the command on ssh and see if /home/abeez/public_html/flvideo/11995061141297215868.flv is created. If not your requirement installation is not proper.

[admin]

Multi server support is for storing FLV files. You can host site at multipe hosts, only the main site need to be hosted on server with requirements installed. File storage servers only need FTP and web access, no PHP or anything else.

I disabled flv tool and still errors!

I ran > /home/abeez/public_html/flvideo/11995061141297215868.flv

It replied back with "Permission denied"

So what is the solution to get this sorted I host with liquidweb on dedicated and they see it all works, please some one tell me how to correct this?

Thank you
