video not converting

[bman]

hi,
after i upload a wmv file i can only see the thumb image but the file is not converted to flv
but it converts ok when i try
ffmpeg -i 2.wmv -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv ../flvideo/2.flv
in shell and am not getting any php errors
so what to do ??

This may be caused by php settings not allowing the convertion command to run. Also check permission of your flvideo folder.

If you need us to check, PM me server login details.

I'm in the same boat now.

flv's uploads fine.
All other formats upload nicely into video folder, but doesn't convert to fla and the flvideo folder.

Converts nicely when done manually: ffmpeg -i 57.wmv -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv ../flvideo/57.flv

phpinfo.php says:

ffmpeg support (ffmpeg-php)	enabled
ffmpeg-php version 	0.5.0
libavcodec version 	Lavc51.40.4
libavformat version 	Lavf51.12.1

Directive	Local Value	Master Value
ffmpeg.allow_persistent	0	0

Doing: php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep ffmpeg

I get the following results:

ffmpeg
ffmpeg support (ffmpeg-php) => enabled
ffmpeg-php version => 0.5.0
ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0

Still it doesn't convert...

Debug.txt looks like this:

UID=1,
title='Test wmv',
description='This is a test to convert .wmv',
keyword='test',
channel='0|9|0',
space = '7',
addtime='1180032995',

CONVERT COMMAND:

/usr/bin/local/ffmpeg -i /var/www/vhosts/MyDomain.com/httpdocs/video/57.wmv -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv /var/www/vhosts/MyDomain.com/httpdocs/flvideo/57.flv


UPDATE VIDEO SQL:
update video set
vdoname='57.wmv',
flvdoname='57.flv',
duration='64.964' WHERE VID=57

I just realised that the convert code that's run is wrong.
My ffmpeg is at: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

Where can I change this in the script ??

If I manually run this command in shell, and change the path to ffmpeg to mine, it works like a charm.
I would like the script to run this command:

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i /var/www/vhosts/MyDomain.com/httpdocs/video/57.wmv -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv /var/www/vhosts/MyDomain.com/httpdocs/flvideo/57.flv

Can this be changed somewhere ?
I'd appreciate any help on this...

Bman, have you solved your issue with this ?

[bman]

am getting some one to reinstall ffmpeg

[admin]

You can change ffmpeg path in

include/config.php

Make sure there is no space or newline character after the end of the file, that is ?>

Yes, of course. How simple!

I changed that and Voilá. IT WORKS!
Super! Thanks for the help!

Bman, have you checked your debug.txt ?

hi i tried the solution shown in Video not getting converted to flv and fixed that problem, however i encountered another problem when i tried this

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i /var/www/html/xxxx/video/4.wmv -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv /var/www/html/xxxx/flvideo/4.flv

the result that i get:

FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al.
  configuration: --enable-shared
  libavutil version: 49.4.0
  libavcodec version: 51.40.4
  libavformat version: 51.12.1

/var/www/html/xxxx/video/4.wmv: no such file or directory

says that it can't find the the file or directory. so i tried to remove all those folder paths and used this:

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i video/4.wmv -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv flvideo/4.flv

same result:

FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al.

video/4.wmv: no such file or directory

what is the problem here? everything else seems to be in order.

Make sure you have the video in the path.
