Permission denied during thumbnail creation

Yeah, that works fine too. I cannot reproduce the error on the commandline as any user.

What's weird is the format of the error:

sh: /usr/bin/mplayer: Permission Denied

I only see it in the browser (or the debug.txt file) and it only seems to happen with the thumbnail creation. The conversion itself works.

I swear I've seen this happen before with PHP, but I can't remember. Something is preventing the shell from executing the mplayer binary.

I got around this problem by switching from mplayer to gmplayer. I don't know what the difference is, or why the php class that handles the video duration functions seems to handle it differently.

From the command line the mplayer binary is executed directly, from the php script via a browser, it seems to be executed as a shell script.
