Hello
In my server ffmpeg is installed and its workign fine when I am using it in simple php file but when i am trying in silverstripe its giving me no such file in ffmpeg log file
i have set the path in _config.php file also
Any help??

any help????

What happens when you run FLV::echo_ffmpeg_test()?

Hello
I have written
FLV::echo_ffmpeg_test();
echo exec('ffmpeg');

i got this in return

FFMPEG is installed on your server and working properly. Code:

Any idea why it is not working

this is the error message i am getting in ffmpeg log file

[2010-01-28 05:19:31] /usr/bin/ffmpeg-y -i /home/equestri/public_html/silverstripe/assets/Uploads/zz.flv -an -s 640x480 -ss 10 -an -r 1 -vframes 1 -y -vcodec mjpeg -f mjpeg /home/equestri/public_html/silverstripe/assets/video_thumbnails/zz.jpg
[2010-01-28 05:19:31] sh: /ffmpeg-y: No such file or directory

Just a thought
i am using this command to use ffmpeg in my php file directly and its working file

shell_exec('ffmpeg -i japanesecat.wmv japanesecat.flv');

it means i may not need to set any path and can directly run the command ffmpeg in silverstripe also,but when i run silverstripe without setting any path then also it gives me the same error in log file

I have talked with support guy of my server what he was saying is there is no space between the ffmpeg command and its argument i,e between /ffmpeg and -y and there should be a space
/ffmpeg-y: No such file or directory

hope this infomation helps in solving the problem

Well no space after ffmpeg would certainly cause problems, but I don't see anywhere in the code that indicates that should be happening. You said you were on the latest rev, correct?

As a proof of concept, try changing line 281 of /code/flv/FLV.php to have a leading space:

			$args = sprintf(" -y -i %s -an -s %s -ss %d -an -r 1 -vframes 1 -y -vcodec mjpeg -f mjpeg %s",

The ffmpeg_root stuff gets tricky. In my experience, systems will either work with it, or without it, but never both.

I do have the latest build which i have saved page by page , i have tried using a svn client but that ask for a username and password which i dont no i have tried clicking on cancel but i am not been able to download it.

is it possible to write the ffmpeg command simple like what i am doing in core php
shell_exec('ffmpeg -i japanesecat.wmv japanesecat.flv');

like writting this command in pfl file like this
shell_exec('ffmpeg -i variablename variablename.flv');

just a thought

hello UncleCheese
