Video not showing

Hello, I took the time to read some other posts before making my own. My video is not showing, and not converting to flv.

I tried running the following command on my server, and I received a response. Please read:

My video player looks weird (notice the play button):

My stuff is working but yeah, I got the same weird play button too. I thought maybe I needed a stronger prescription for my glasses...

But the player is OK now, like it fixed itself.

Hi, thank you for your suggestions. I changed the file and tried the command again. Here is what it says:

Any other suggestions?

This is the problem here ;)
in includes/settings/video_conversion.php
change

Code:

---

$cmd_ffmpeg = "$config[ffmpeg] -i $video_src -acodec mp3 -f flv -b 700000 $video_flv";

---

to

Code:

---

$cmd_ffmpeg = "$config[ffmpeg] -i '$video_src' -y -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv $video_flv";

---

ffmpeg doesn't include an mp3 encoder. Using libmp3lame instead of mp3 codec should resolve this

Hi, thanks for taking the time to respond. I tried that command, the video did convert. However, it still won't play on the site or automatically convert to flv, I am not sure of the reason why.

I changed the video_conversion.php file as requested:

$cmd_ffmpeg = "$config[ffmpeg] -i '$video_src' -y -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv $video_flv";
The following is the successful command:

I am getting the same thing -- but only with a few users that upload.. I can upload vids fine with my test account. Whats the resolution here? I read the posts, but Im not sure what it all measn or what to do.

@browniegirl

basically the video conversion failed, this could be due to many reasons.
