Hardcoded video watermark mod

[browniegirl]

well that looks fine, re-check all steps were done correctly, if not post the whole of your watermark.srt file and say if you have SSH access.

also if you are importing FLV files or uploading FLV files it wont put the watermark on as these files do not get converted. Do a test with an AVI or WMV file.

That may be it -- these WRE flv files.. i try with AVi and let you know

I uploaded an AVI -- but still no luck :( -- I am to have the watermark.srt permissions set to 777 , right? If so -- its no working for me.

post the whole contense of your watermark.srt

This works great Leki, Thanks. I really think this should be incorporated into the next release.

Is there a way to apply the watermark to videos already converted? I'm up to nearly 2000 vids so it would be useful if I could set this up as some sort of cron job.

Secondly how can you affect the horizontal position of the watermark?

[leki]

glad you like it, to get it into your already converted videos they would have to be converted again.

i didn't find any command to change the horizontal position from my initial looks but i think there are more advanced ways to subtile videos which may be able to do it....i dont have time to look into them myself right now though.

Ok np I quite like it in the middle now though .. got used to it.

Sorry for being a dummy but how do I go about reconverting the videos? I dont have them in the process queue anymore and I've been searching this forum for tips.

It doesn't work for me either. Not sure why unless my site is converting through ffmpeg instead of mencoder (both are coded for in the video_conversion file). I'll have to investigate this one a little later. It would be nice to have, but since 95% of what goes on my site is already in flv format, I would only reap the rewards on a small number of videos.

Any news on the reconvert yet? ..

It would be labor intensive to do so, but if you absolutely require the watermark on all videos, you can just convert the flv file to an mpg, wmv or avi, and then let your site convert it to flv, adding the watermark.srt in the process.

@SportsGamingTV.com

if your mencoder is old it may also not support subtitles, best to run the command manually from SSH to see what error you get.

i posted how you can get vshare to reconvert FLV files in another thread....so could work with flv files if needed.

Maybe that's the problem. I do not even know what version I'm running, to be honest. I'll give this another look tomorrow and see if I can straighten it out.

[leki]

Could you give me a link to that post. I can't find it when I search.

Thanks, Jereme

i meant for when an FLV is uploaded for it to be converted again....not reconverting all old flv files in one go.....for that i guess u would have to write a script or something
