Videos do not play: No compatible source was found for this media.

[Jorgen Schvaneveldt]

Hello there,

I just started using Resource Space and it looks like it is exactly what I have been looking for.  

It looks like everything is running pretty good except that I am not able to play video files.  As you can see the attached images, it does create previews that display and sample through when moving the cursor across, however they do not play.  The asset displays an X in the middle and says "No compatible source was found for this media."

I am running on Ubuntu 16.04.3

Has anyone run into this same problem?

Thanks,

Jorgen

If you are using e,g Chrome, you have to allow Flash to work for your site, this is the most usual cause behind this message you are getting

How does the variable ffmpeg work?

With this configuration you create a preview of the ingested video that does not have an MP4 extension and would have to be played in the player.

$ffmpeg_preview=true;
$ffmpeg_preview_seconds=3600;
$ffmpeg_preview_extension="mp4";
$ffmpeg_preview_options="-b: v 600k -vcodec libx264 -vprofile baseline -level 31 -g 12 -pix_fmt yuv420p -async 50 -acodec aac -ab 64k -ac 2";

Hi,

You can override those values in your config file and define the options you will need.

I have my custon transcode process, but you can take a look to the RS scripts to figure out how it works.

Take a look into:

/include/ffmpeg_processing.php

to see how those settings are used to create the ffmpeg command line sentence.

and into

/include/image_processing.php

to study and understand the workflow.

Hope that helps,

Ok, I'm in the same situation and after some tests I'm really confused.

Data

Resourcespace Subversion r10819 SVN

on Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS

in a pure LAMP Environment

I use for the tests:

3 identical video clip in .mp4 .flv .avi

Google Chrome Linux last version

Mozilla Firefox Linux last version

Google Chrome Mac last version on High Sierra

Mozilla Firefox Mac last version on High Sierra

If I try with default config, Chrome give me the same error:

The asset displays an X in the middle and says "No compatible source was found for this media."

But Firefox it's ok.

The question it's flash for sure. I've flash enable in Firefox on both system.

But, when I try to build preview in mp4, nothing goes right in both system, in both browser.

With every options I use, the player load correcrly but when I click on the arrow button in the center of the preview, the load circle start and never start the video preview.

I play around this parameters, with true or false option, with many combinations, but without success:

// Video Preview Management

// $ffmpeg_path='/usr/bin';

// $ffmpeg_preview_extension="mp4";

// $ffmpeg_preview_options = '-f mp4 -ar 22050 -b 650k -ab 32k -ac 1';

# Use qt-faststart to make mp4 previews start faster

// $qtfaststart_path="/usr/bin";

# $qtfaststart_extensions=array("mp4","m4v","mov");

// $video_preview_original=false;

// $ffmpeg_preview_force=true; 

// $ffmpeg_preview=true; 

// $ffmpeg_preview_seconds=20; 

// $ffmpeg_preview_extension="mp4";

// $ffmpeg_preview_options="-b: v 600k -vcodec libx264 -vprofile baseline -level 31 -g 12 -pix_fmt yuv420p -async 50 -acodec aac -ab 64k -ac 2";

I try to analyze the 2 files image_processing and ffmpeg_processing, but I'm not so skilled :|

Any help?

Thanks

Maurizio

Maurizio,
What version of FFMPEG are you using?

[Dustin Wilson]

If you don't mind using Flash, Alexandros is correct. This is the browser blocking Flash. You can allow Flash in all browsers. In Chrome for instance, if you click the (i) in the left part of the address bar, towards the bottom, you can select to allow Flash content.

PBefore you print think about the environment

[Matthew Patulski]

Maurizo,

Try these three changes and let us know what happens:

[1] Comment out any qtfaststart settings like this one

$qtfaststart_path="/usr/bin";

[2] Add this to the end of your $ffmpeg_preview_options inside the quotes:

-movflags +faststart

[3] Add this to your config.php so that you can see if you are getting a preview file and how large it is.

$flv_preview_downloadable=true;

Matt
