Moving FLV to other server

[onlinetv]

I am trying to move the flv files to a media server, not the same one that runs the program. I just made a 2gig zip and moved it to the new server, opened the file, made sure the server is added in the vshare site. All okay.

I went to the actual database, into the video table and edited all the entries to reflect the server 1. But it still looks for the file locally. What can I do?

In phpmyadmin, select details of a video and server table and paste here. Also post link to the video.

I can't find anything from the post. May be you should post link to the video you are having problem.

[onlinetv]

There is no need for a link to any video.

1) Video originally sits on the vshare site
2) I set up a server on another provider and copy the files there.
3) I set up a remote server in vshare to the other provider where the files are now.
4) I pull up phpadmin and go through the video entries one by one and change the ones that go to the other provider so that server is 1.
5) I delete the files on the vshare site.
6) The video shows and error because the file is missing on the vshare site - not the new remote server.

I put the files back on the vshare so that they show and do not error. The question is if there is something other than the manual change on the video record to show server = 1??

I mean I could delete the file on the vhare site so you get an error but that would prove out nothing. The actual error will show in the player and would say it cant find the file on the vhare site (not the other provider site).

[hostonnet]

That is right, no other changes required.

Hi,

Admin -> Video Management -> Local Videos: you can move local videos to the remote server(must be added and enabled in vShare).

If you can't get it fixed, open a support ticket at

BuyScripts Helpdesk

with your vShare admin and FTP login details.

Thanks,

Buyscripts Team.

That is very interesting! I used the Admin -> Video Management -> Local Videos and it is working.

I have a few questions:

1) does the Admin -> Video Management -> Local Videos actually ftp (move) the files to the new server?
2) Since I already uploaded all the videos to the server and changed all the Server ID in the Video records is there another place I can just manually adjust these?

On large files I get this error and am unable to move them in the video management:


ERROR: Unable to execute query

UPDATE `videos` SET `video_server_id`='1' WHERE `video_id`='256'MySQL server has gone away

[vshare2]

Hi,

which vShare version you are using?

[onlinetv]
