PHP Fatal error: Could not find decoder for

[DMNL]

I just updated one of our CentOS 5.3 box with the following:

ffmpeg: missing argument for option '-v'


On a couple of scripts the getFrame and getaudiocodec functions
returns this error "PHP Fatal error: Could not find decoder for".
Make test failed on the same functions as well. Any ideas what I can
do to dig down what's wrong?

I also have this problem, specifically with AMR codecs.

[s0ma]

Could you put in the output of 'php -i | grep -i ffmpeg'?

[DMNL]

Fortunately this nly happens as far as I can see into FLV files, here
is an ffmpeg php -i output:

/etc/php.d/ffmpeg.ini,
ffmpeg
ffmpeg-php version => 0.6.3
ffmpeg-php built on => Oct 6 2009 10:32:39
ffmpeg-php gd support => enabled
ffmpeg libavcodec version => Lavc52.20.0
ffmpeg libavformat version => Lavf52.31.0
ffmpeg swscaler version => SwS0.7.1
ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0
ffmpeg.show_warnings => 0 => 0

[s0ma]

Could you run ffmpeg -i <filename> from the command line on one of the
flv files in question and paste the output here please?

[DMNL]

hi s0ma,

Her it is:

[dmnl@zeus ~]$ ffmpeg -i /var/www/html/mysite.com/files/40274/test-
flv.flv

[flv @ 0x83eef0]Could not find codec parameters (Audio: 0x0000, 0
channels, s16)

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate:
1000.00 (1000/1) -> 30.00 (30/1)
Input #0, flv, from '/var/www/html/mysite.com/files/40274/test-
flv.flv':
Duration: 00:03:28.83, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 157 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Video: flv, yuv420p, 320x240, 157 kb/s, 30 tbr, 1k
tbn, 1k tbc
Stream #0.1: Audio: 0x0000, 0 channels, s16
At least one output file must be specified

It looks like this only happens to a very limited number of FLV files.

I'm not sure where else to look, prolly do a DBG on FFMpeg as soon as
I have time.

Cheers
