WMV video not converting. Help Please

**sullenest** · 03-26-2008, 02:12 AM

Hi, I installed Vshare couple of days ago on cirtexhosting. It was not converting videos with mencoder so I used the ffmpeg. It was converting the avi videos but when I try WMV videos, it doesn't convert. Here is the message:

Code:

STARTING VIDEO CONVERSION (process_queue.id = 23)

File: /home/desizcom/public_html/video/malu_vashi.wmv

####################################################

SELECT * FROM `video` WHERE `VID`=22

####################################################

Video id: 22

Find video duration - START

Create Thumbnail with ffmpeg-php - END

CONVERT COMMAND: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i '/home/desizcom/public_html/video/malu_vashi.wmv' -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv /home/desizcom/public_html/flvideo/1206495661145282214.flv

Return value:

Convert Error or converted video is less than 1 kb in size, try upload a big video. If that do not work, verify convert command works on the server.

Here is my video_conversion.php code:

Code:

<?php

$cmd_ffmpeg = "$config[ffmpeg] -i '$video_src' -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv $video_flv";

# For old version of mplayer
# $cmd_mencoder = "$config[mencoder] '$video_src' -o $video_flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -srate 22050 -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames";

# For latest version of mplayer
$cmd_mencoder = "$config[mencoder] '$video_src' -o $video_flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -srate 22050 -ofps 24 -vf harddup";

$cmd_all = $cmd_ffmpeg;

$convert_3gp = $cmd_all;
$convert_mp4 = $cmd_all;
$convert_mov = $cmd_all;
$convert_asf = $cmd_all;
$convert_mpg = $cmd_all;
$convert_avi = $cmd_all;
$convert_mpeg = $cmd_all;
$convert_wmv = $cmd_all;
$convert_rm = $cmd_all;
$convert_dat = $cmd_all;

Please help.

Can you try with old conversion command.Edit video_conversion.php in include folder and try # For old version of mplayer command

It didn't work with the old one. I don't think my hosting has mplayer installed but they have ffmpeg. Is there any command or any modification that would call for WMV files or something....I have no idea....

I know for sure the convert code posted works since I'm currently using it on 3 of my sites. It's a server issue.

Guess what. I just tried uploading a .wmv file to two of my sites and it's never getting converted either all of a sudden. All but one video on my site came from .wmv files, all were converted with no problems. Today I thought I'd upload a video and BLAM, not converting. Definately a server issue I think. I need to go in and double check cron etal and see what's up but this is just freaking weird. The way it is right now, I have to go into admin panel and go to process queue and where it says "download completed (convert now)" I have to click "convert now" and when I do it just says "convert started" and then never converts.

I am in touch with tech support. I checked the process queue and apparantly they tried uploading every kind of video format and NONE of them got converted, so it's not a vShare issue, but a server issue. Make sure you put in a support ticket a.s.a.p. and have them send it to tech level support 3.

Well, whatever was going on has fixed itself and videos were converting just fine...but happened RIGHT when I was moving everything to another webhost. Are you still having this problem? Cos just before the move, everything was working again.
