AVC / H264 type of file

[Christophe Mes]

Hi

we seem to have an issue woth H264/AVC type of files. They do not get processed (no thumb, no metadata, ..) and I just see the gray camera backup icon in the object.

How can I see what goes wrong? I updated to latest ffmpeg (7.1.1) on latest RS (Ubuntu).

config.php
$ffmpeg_preview_options = '-f mp4 -b:v 1200k -b:a 128k -ac 2 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -strict -2 -movflags faststart';

Any ideas? or how I can view the debug while processing?

Server is 4CPU/8Gb - all other Pro Apple MOV files work without issues.

Tx

I don't know the specific answer, but I imagine that if you run ffmpeg against a sample file with the switches above you should get information back from ffmpeg - like for example "error, this is not an mp4 file"

Try running this command and post the results here -

ffmpeg -i <yourfilename.ext>

Here's the result for one of my mp4 files showing stream 0:1 is h264/avc1 format -

ffmpeg -i 111_1e9d195cd474fec.mp4
