Can't upload videos

This is a fresh installation and just purchased today. I have installed everything and checked and double checked requirements, modules installed and paths. I have been working with the tech for my server for several hours and I still get this error when I am uploading a video.

Fatal error: Error seeking to beginning of video stream in /chroot/home/user/mysite.com/html/videoshare/include/function.php on line 214

I begin the upload and it processes. Then it comes up with that error. I can then go to the site and see a thumbnail and the the file page is there, but the video does not play.

The techs on my server say it is a vendor problem. What say you?

I say something not installed properly

Something in the script, something on the server. Any leads.....

Ok the usual thing to check, post your config.php (its in include folder) **make sure to remove the password part lol**. Also were all the files uploaded in binary mode. Theres about 8 other questions i want to ask but what version have you installed? Did you skip install versions...

Thanks for the quick reply.

Did you skip install versions...

Not sure what you mean about skip, but I installed what was sent to me when I purchased.

Here is the config file info:
<?

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING);
session_start();

$db_host = "localhost";
$db_name = "";
$db_user = "";
$db_pass = "";

$language = "en";

$config = array();
$config['ffmpeg'] = "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg";
$config['mplayer'] = "/usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/etc/mplayer /usr/local/lib/mplayer";
$config['mencoder'] = "/usr/local/bin/mencoder";
$config['flvtool'] = "/usr/bin/flvtool2";
$config['basedir'] = "/home/user/mysite.com/html/videoshare";
$config['baseurl'] = "http://www.mysite.com/videoshare";

include($config['basedir'] . "/include/vshare.php");

Problem is with ffmpeg getFrame function, this can be caused by ffmpeg, ffmpeg-php installation.

Make sure your video is valid, you can try uploading the same video to http://video.bizhat.com to see if its a problem with your ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php installation or not.

Code:

---

$config['mplayer'] = "/usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/etc/mplayer /usr/local/lib/mplayer";

---

This is not correct, you should have only one valid path to mplayer. You have 3 different locations.

LOL i was just about to post that till i scrolled a little lower lmao.

/usr/local/lib/mplayer

OK, I uploaded it to your test server with no problem. STill have the problem on my site. I changed the config file for the mplayer one at a time for each of the 3 locations and each time I got the same error. Presently I have it set to /usr/local/lib/mplayer

I had them reinstall all the modules again, and still have the same problem.

777 connect pm me ill take a look.

While zeffer put in an amazing job on trying to help me, he was unable to figure out the problem. I still have the problem and need help on this.

Change webhosts :/ I've not had any problems with mine...

Cirtexhosting

Its a problem with config.php not being lead to the right locations, the video uploads the ffmpeg makes a thumb just the video doesnt convert to flv.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have been with the host for a long time with many domains there so would not be feasible to change host. Just want to get the problem fixed. :)

really, that's what I thought too about my sites. This host will move your entire site for you and everything....seamlessly. ;)

Thanks for recomending your host, but moving is not what I am looking for, but finding the solution to the problem is what I am looking for.

What about the support here. Where is the official support by the company?

Finally got this working. The problem was because I did not have the latest ffmpeg version. I had 4.2 on my server and the latest was 5.x. Had them upgrade to the latest and bingo all it good.
Geez after 4 days, FINALLY.

Thanks again zeffer for your attempt at helping. Much appreciated.

Hey 777 .... I had trouble with mplayer (which is the package that includes mencoder, the default encoder) after I installed it, uninstalled it and reinstalled it. No matter what I do now, I can't get the thing to work.

SO I just made a change to a config file, and am just using ffmpeg now. See this thread for info:

http://forums.buyscripts.in/viewtopic.p ... ght=ffmpeg

Also this one where I posted a few switches you can change around in the encode command:
http://forums.buyscripts.in/viewtopic.p ... ght=ffmpeg

And I have used it to upload divx, wmv, vob, mpeg1, mpeg2, and mov files. Haven't tried real media yet though. Far as I'm concerned, if they're using Matroska or some other elitist bullshit obscure video codec, screw 'em.

thaks Mersh, but I did get it to work finally after 4 days of installing, uninstalling.....
