Hi,
I tried to search the forum but cannot find solution for my problem.
First I couldn't upload bigger mp4 videos. I changed the mySql to
wait_timeout = 600
max_allowed_packet = 64M
but still didn't work.
I now changed permission on the media folder to 777 and apparently mp4 videos can now be uploaded. Attached is a picture of the permission I have changed. Is this correct?

But when I upload the Mp4 file it does not play automatically, even though all other videos do.
And there is no thumbnail image.
Apparently it creates a thumbnail image but it is not in the media folder.
Here is the link to the problematic video

http://talentshowroom.com/video/44/mt-pula-transiting-panama-canal-720p-h-264-aac-mp4/

and this si how it looks on the index page

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Appears there are also some problems with the avatar pictures. Someone from you PHPVIBE guys registered to my page as Capn Crunch and from today your avatar disappeared.
Can please someone offer some help with this.
Thanks

Ok I managed to solve the auto play problem.
Now I only have problems with the thumbnail images.

To solve bigger file uploads in your php.ini change following to whatever number you like:

Code Select Expand

memory_limit =800M
max_execution_time = 3000
upload_max_filesize = 800M
post_max_size = 800M

As when uploading .mp4 files and not playing, because when they are uploaded they don't get encoded again. THe reason they are not playing is because they don't have "faststart" flag. There is a lot of programs that will let you add faststart flag to .mp4 files that will let you play automatically when uploaded.

as for thumbs they get extracted by ffmpeg I would run phpvibe tester: http://www.phpvibe.com/phpvibe-tester.zip

What's the avatar problem actually? I see a lot of video processing (failed ffmpeg converts)

[Bojan Ivancic]

I unpublished the others.
It's the first and third video under new videos.
"kad se zena naljuti" and "MT Pula transiting...."
The video "MT Pula transiting...." initially also had the play sign but I somehow changed it to this new picture. Don't know how...

I see, I assume ffmpeg failed to pull an thumbnail out of that video.
How is the video encoded? Was it uploaded in which format?

[Bojan Ivancic]

It was uploaded as mp4

Ok, does ffmpeg work?
Sometimes fails on some video, depends on encoding, but nothing we can do about it, is not an flawless software but is the best one available for everybody.
