Video uploads to /videos, but script stops there

Hello:

I just want to first say "thank you" for offering this support forum. Its a lot more than one expects to get for $10.

I've installed the script here: http://TheWebChannel.ca

I'm having a problem in that once the video uploads, the upload.php script just stops. I'm not sure which of the programs are being affected, as this happens even if I upload a .flv file.

When you upload the file, you wind up on a blank page. The file is present in /videos but nothing else happens. There's a listing on the page for it, but no thumbnail, and no flv video.

I have verified the presence of all the required tools and have the correct paths in my config.php file:

php: http://www.thewebchannel.ca/phpinfo.php

Code:

---

[root@clicker1 video]# ls /usr/local/bin/mplayer
/usr/local/bin/mplayer

[root@clicker1 video]# ls /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

[root@clicker1 video]# ls /usr/local/bin/mencoder
/usr/local/bin/mencoder

[root@clicker1 video]# ls /usr/bin/flvtool2
/usr/bin/flvtool2

[root@clicker1 video]# whereis ffmpeg
ffmpeg: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg /usr/local/lib/ffmpeg.so

Any thoughts? Thank you....

ffmpeg-php is not available on your server. If you have it, it will show up in phpinfo.

Thank you!

The problem was that I was referencing the ffmpeg.so file by it's full file location, ie, "extension=/usr/lib/php4/ffmpeg.so" ... and it was making me crazy because no matter where I put it in the php.ini file, it would not show up.

Then I changed it to "extension=ffmpeg.so" and it's in the phpinfo file now and the uploads are working.

Thank you again!

what if ffmpeg-php is not available on my server ? what then ?
I use http://www.bluehost.com as web server

I don't think they have it, ask them to confirm.
