encoding after updating ffmpeg doesn't work

[asega]

Hello,

I've successfully managed to deploy panda on an amazon instance, and
it's working kind of ok.
Since, the version of ffmpeg bundled with the image is a bit old, I've
decided to recompile
ffmpeg so that it would support more formats.

This is the output of ffmpeg without any argument:

FFmpeg version SVN-r20066, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et

libavdevice 52. 2. 0 / 52. 2. 0
libswscale 0. 7. 1 / 0. 7. 1

Now, when I try to encode a test video using the dashboard, I get the
following error message (just after uploading
the file): "The video format was not recognised. Please ensure that
your video follows the upload
format guidelines."

Thing is, when I try to encode a file (which could be encoded before
the upgrade) via panda, I get the previous message, though using the
command line, I have no problems.
ffmpeg -i outputs:
Input #0, mpeg, from 'XPsmartTagsPPC.mpg':

I've tried to play with /var/local/www/panda/public/javascripts/
jquery.nginxUploadProgress.js but it seems
that it's the wrong file to fix...

Anyone has a clue ?

Thanks for reading/helping....

Asega.

I had the same problem but found a patch for rvideo to fix it -
http://code.google.com/p/rvideo/issues/detail?id=2#c2

Simply change inspector.rb, line 53 to:

metadata = /(Input \#.*)\n(Must|At\sleast)/m.match(@raw_response)

Cheers,
Stuart
