hi

as u may know i had problems with ffmpeg conversion and it was possibly because of the an old version of ffmpeg.

i asked my hoster if they could update it and they said no, because they have a partnership with clipbucket
and they cant use newer ffmpeg versions yet.

my hoster told me they can recompile the ffmpeg with any codec i need so I sent them the infos on the phpvibe requirements site about ffmpeg.

they answered me this:

Hello,

According to the what is shown by ffmpeg, the codec is already enabled:

Added quotation marks around the relevant text for emphasis.

Is phpvibe saying that it is not installed / enabled ? Is there an installation page that we can look at to get a clearer picture of what is not working ?

Thank you,

they say it has to work but it doesnt.... so whats wrong? o_o

Ollie, please explain how it's not working, so I can help you.

The video file does not get converted or what?
Does /media allows file uploads? Does the shell to videocron.php fires (videocron.php has execute permissions, ex 0555)?

hi yes i gave all folders the right permission. the video gets converted + thumbnail.
but it wont play in the player...

error loading media:
file could not be played

The converted video is broken http://test.lolwatchers.com/media/5cb7efc1403b602e8426105bf49be081.mp4

What does the tester output? http://www.phprevolution.com/requirements/ it's very handy for debugging.

when i click on the .mp4 link the video works for me..

It looks ok, but that video doesn't play for me in Google Chrome.
Did you touch the PHPVibe ffmpeg command before?
In what does your browser open the file (native html5 or something external)?

[ollipaust]

what ever ^^

i just bought a vps with these specs

CPU 1x Core 3.2 GHz
4GB RAM
200 GB Diskspace
UNLIMITED Traffic
Cent OS 6.5

for 7,99€/month


should work fine or?

[PHPVibe A.]

That's cheap for the tech offer, give url and feedback please

[ollipaust]

its a german company with location in munic

[PHPVibe A.]

The bandwidth is bit small, but acceptable for an VPS, I may get one at 24e for dedicated sql since my sites kinda needs this already.

Thanks!

hi alex
do you know any good tutorial for configuring a server for phpvibe?

[PHPVibe A.]

Hi Olli, not really.
Honestly I don't think you need one, if you have cpanel you can configure everything from whm -> apache software update, also disable mod_security and all that could interfear, I use PHP 5.4 on DSO with nu suPHP/etc.
I've installed ffmpeg using the centos official track from their wiki and all is good...

hi alex
i just installed ffmpeg

in terminal it says this:

also i need to add the ffmpeg in the backend.
i ask terminal "whereis ffmpeg" and he gives me 3 directories:

# whereis ffmpeg
ffmpeg: /usr/src/ffmpegscript/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

which one should i use?

[PHPVibe A.]

I don't know...
guess not the first one...you can test second and 3rd with the tester or directly in the script.

I don't know...

do you mean this?

$ffmpegmd = "ffmpeg";

[PHPVibe A.]

Yes, simply edit that to one of the ffmpeg commands.
do you have multiple ffmpeg installs on the same server? That may break stuff...when you have an failed install, make sure you also remove it.
