Hello, everybody.
I been spend a whole day reading, searching about this issue and i have no clue what is happening.
When i try to upload a video sometimes success other video nothing happend, when there is no alerts about the video upload process im sure loading the video was not successful.
I test with firefox, chrome, maxthon, opera, IE, safary all newest versions With PC and mac.

My VPS server have installed: ffmpeg version 2.3.3-
FFmpeg executable and Server bin path are correct, and upload files at 450mb.

Im using fresh installation for PHPVibe 4 - Video CMS
v4 [Stable]; Current subversion is 14 ; Your subversion is 14

Attach some file as a reference.

My problem is: Error uploading video and thumbnails

Any Advice?

Best Regards!

Hi, did you try the ffmpeg with the tester http://www.phpvibe.com/requirements/?
Post here the result so I can check and guide you (switch to ffmpeg test)

[aralom]

Hello Alexander, attach some screen capture.

[PHPVibe A.]

Ok, so the ffmpeg has no output in your test (error, or anything).
Check this http://www.phpvibe.com/forum/discussions/error/msg21097/#msg21097

Hello alexander.
I read the post that you advice.


This is new test result.

aralom, it seem to me you have 2 ffmpeg installs which conflict, and the old one is used for converting.

[aralom]

Ok, what i need to do?
How can i "say" at phpvibe select the right ffmpeg

Regards!

[PHPVibe A.]

It has no connection with phpvibe, is the server's exec() which selects it.
What I advise you is to remove ffmpeg (both) and reinstall. This would be the 100% safe solution.
It's always a bad idea to have 2 ffmpegs installed.

[aralom]

Hello Alexander today contact at Support about FFMPEG versions, the uninstall both version and install just one.
I run the rest again and give this:
-------------------------------
File to convert: test.avi
Converted file: test.mp4

  When i upload a video using admin account no problem if the video is small (1mb) but if is more or 30mb seems is uploading but nothing happend, im going to check Unpublished / Trash Can but there is Nothing.
  
  I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG, today i made the update at subversion is 15, STILL IS NOT WORKING, i you want i can give you, admin account and FTP.
  
  Regards!

[PHPVibe A.]

Hi aralom, that's not necessarily.
If the 1mb works, then the problem is not in the code or ffmpeg.
What's your server hardware?
Ffmpeg is really heavy, for example on our setup (3.0 quad with 8 gb of ram) a 1gb movie with the Hd version of the ffmpeg takes about an hour to convert and it spikes the processor to 1000% per small periods on this timeframe .
As for where things may fail: monitor videocron.php's ffmpeg conversion order in your host's processes list, it may be killed for using too many resources.

[aralom]

Hello Alexander, just for a moment works the ffmpeg just one video and after this IS NOT WORKING anymore.
Im using VPS server:
-----------------------------
40 GB Space
2000 Gb Traffic
1.8 GHz Ded. CPU
2 CPU Cores
1 GB Ded. RAM
128 MB Burst RAM
------------------------------
Actually i don't have configured any cron process for video.

Any Advice?

Regards

[aralom]

Alexander for testing i just disable ffmpeg and try to upload a video -30mb-, looks like will work but there is no luck, same problems.

Regards.

[PHPVibe A.]

aralom, your server is very small, not fit at all for ffmpeg conversions.
1 gb of ram is low, 1 gb virtual ram is really bad.
this explains why it would stop your operations, the server is overloaded by the ffmpeg.

[aralom]

Hello Alexander, thank you for your help and support.
What do you think about this server?:

Dedicated Server
------------------------------
E5-2620 V2 6x2.0Ghz
2 x 1 TB Storage
24 GB RAM
10 TB Bandwidth
-----------------------------
Can work without problems?

Best Regards!

[PHPVibe A.]

For sure, that's a great hardware piece. What's the price for it?

[aralom]

$319.00 per month.
http://www.tmdhosting.com/dedicated-servers.html

Regards!

[PHPVibe A.]

Pretty expensive, I got something like the one which is 269$/month at 100$/month from LeaseWeb.com

[aralom]

Hello Alexander, im really, really tired i have no idea what is happening, already made all steps:
1) upgrade server:
Dedicated Server
------------------------------
E5-2620 V2 6x2.0Ghz
2 x 1 TB Storage
24 GB RAM
10 TB Bandwidth
-----------------------------

2) upgrade ffmpeg version 2.6.2

This is not working same problem, When i try to upload a video sometimes success other video nothing happens, when there is no alerts about the video upload process im sure loading the video was not successful.

I test with firefox, chrome, maxthon, opera, IE, safary all newest versions With PC and mac.
Attach actual configuration.

Please help me!!

Regards!

More pics as reference

[PHPVibe A.]

Your ffmpeg path in the Settings -> FFMPEG is not the same as the one you use in the tester (from what I see, there is also a weird space there in the PHPVibe's path settings for ffmpeg).

[aralom]

Hello Alexander, do you want moderator access and check, because you say where is the possible error but not how to fix it.

Regards

[PHPVibe A.]

The solution is very simple.

Fffmpeg executable :
In your PHPVibe - /usr/bin/ffmpeg/ (not working)
In your tester - /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg (working)
