Auto Generation Of Thumbnail in gcp

[Manish Kumar]

Hi there,

I have integrated my dspace to Google storage to stored all asset, everything is working fine but auto generation of Thumbnail is not working.

I have used ImageMagic to generate the process for auto thumbnail generation and it's related information already exists in .cfg file.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Manish Kumar

Hi Manish,

Generating thumbnails in DSpace requires running the "filter-media" script (usually on a scheduled basis, via a cron job or similar).  It doesn't happen though if you forget to run that script. 

See the docs at:

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Mediafilters+for+Transforming+DSpace+Content

Also see the docs about recommended scheduled tasks / cron jobs for DSpace:

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Scheduled+Tasks+via+Cron

If those scripts are not working for you, feel free to send any errors you are receiving to this email list, or our dspace-tech (tech support) mailing list.

Hi,

When I add filter-media script with  Arguments -p ImageMagick Image Thumbnail, status says completed but at the time of creating item auto thumbnails are not working.

Hi,

Based on your error log, it sounds like DSpace cannot find ImageMagick.  Either it's not installed or you haven't set the "org.dspace.app.mediafilter.ImageMagickThumbnailFilter.ProcessStarter" setting properly.

The important error is this one:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: convert

That is telling me that the ImageMagick "convert" script is not found.

See the docs here on how to install/config ImageMagick & Ghostscript:   https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/ImageMagick+Media+Filters

Hi,

Thanks for your response, based on your input we crossed check and found that ImageMagic(7.x) is properly installed. Please find attached snippet of docker file.

We have also provided path for ProcessStarter in local.cfg  i.e.   org.dspace.app.mediafilter.ImageMagickThumbnailFilter.ProcessStarter = /usr/bin.

But we are still getting the same exception while generating thumbnail. Please find the error log attached.

Request for your early response as we are stuck on this point.

Thanks,

Manish Kumar

++docker snippet.

Hi, 

In that case, my best guess is you have a configuration issue with ImageMagick.  Likely you need to set the " org.dspace.app.mediafilter.ImageMagickThumbnailFilter.ProcessStarter" setting to the location where ImageMagick can be found.

See the documentation on how to configure ImageMagick for DSpace here:
