Video Previews not working

[markAPR]

Hi all,

I have RS set up on a Windows 2003 Server with IIS6.

Have got all working now apart from the video previews.

I do get a still thumbnail preview for any videos that i try to load,
I cannot play the previews though, and for Quick Time files, they are
not being converted to .flv previews.

flv previews do show the replay controls, although nothing happens
when i attempt to play the video clip through.

I have been through lots of posts on this group to try to solve the
issue myself - i do have ffmpeg installed on the root of my c: drive,
and config.php points to it correctly with c:/ffmpeg as the path.

I cannot see ffmpeg firing at all in the task manager on the server
when uploading - neither through the .swf, or java method.

Please can someone indicate what steps i might take to get the video
previews working correctly.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

A couple of things:

First - you may need to use the following for your path in config.php:

$ffmpeg_path = 'c:/ffmpeg/bin';

Second - make sure your ffmpeg preview setting is set to true:

$ffmpeg_preview=true;

Third - make sure your ffmpeg extension array includes MOV files.
Here's what I use:

$ffmpeg_supported_extensions = array(
'aaf',
'3gp',
'asf',
'avchd',
'avi',
'cam',
'dat',
'dsh',
'flv',
'm1v',
'm2v',
'mkv',
'wrap',
'mov',
'mpeg',
'mpg',
'mpe',
'mp4',
'mxf',
'nsv',
'ogm',
'rm',
'ram',
'svi',
'smi',
'vob',
'wmv',
'divx',
'xvid',
);

Fourth - check the version of ffmpeg you have. I'm using the 0.5
"static" build for Windows x64 (it apparently has a known bug, but it
works fine for me. x32 should be ok):

Thanks,

Hi,

Don't forget to try to run ffmpeg on the command line first for one of
the video files you are attempting to upload and have previews for.
It might be an incompatible codec problem (e.g. ffmpeg cannot create
previews for apple prores encoded .mov files).

Good luck,
Paul

Ok, - thanks very much for your help guys, - i'm going to give these
things a whirl this morning.

Hi there,

I'm still trying to get my video previews working with RS

I do now have the .flv files actually being created on the server - i
can see the .flv files in the filestore. I can't get RS to replay
them though. When i click the play button, the .swf player window
simply goes black, and nothing happens, this applies for both .flv
files and for .mov files

does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this please ?

Am using Windows Server 2003, with II6, PHP5, MySql 5

Thanks very much,


Mark
