Video not showing on new install

I just got everything installed, and things look right. I can upload a video, it says it is uploaded, but the video won't actually play. The thumbnail shows up, but nothing plays. haloflix.com

I just realized it isn't creating the flv video and putting it in the flvideo directory. Any suggestions for fixing this?

I had similar problems.

First make sure ffmpeg is properly installed on your server.

Then read what i did in this thread:

Good luck.

thanks for the info, but nope, still not converting to flv and storing in the video folder...

Do you have ffmpeg installed ?
What does your phpinfo.php say ?

Are you saying .flv video is created in flvvideo folder ?

It seems problem with your ffmpeg installation. You can try running the command in SSH or from PHP script to see if video is genered or not. Check your PM.

Yeah, the ffmpeg is installed and enabled. It functions like it is uploading, but no flv video is actually being created and added to the flvvideo folder. Nothing is there.

If you login via SSH and try something like this:

Code:

---

ffmpeg -i 2.wmv -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv ../flvideo/2.flv

What happens ?

dealerpix, i checked your server. ffmpeg is not properly installed. You need to reinstall ffmpeg.

Ok, I'll do that. I am new at ffmpeg; what exactly is not properly installed?

I don't know what exactly not working, you may try to reinstall, also do a search in google, you will find some answers.

Now it seems your mencoder/mplayer installation is not proper, that also not able to do the convertion.

These are all related, so if one of them is missing, it can create problem.

Hello,

I’m the one who installed these tools on the server.

What encoder should be needed? I’m not one who generally works with video, but the installation instructions were clear enough. However, with mplayer, it said that additional codecs may be needed, but that the default installation should be able to convert most formats.

So what codec is needed?
