Register1 FFMPEG

[colinjm]

Hi Guys,

i'm experiementing with the settings in gallery on my Register1 account, i'm trying to get the FFMPEG tool to work. i'm getting the following message



I have no idea about unix at all, can someone shed some light on how I can fix this.

Thanks in advance.

ok, i've figured out the permissions thing, but it's still not working.

i'll keep digging.

Have you install FFMPEG? If so have you made sure it's where Gallery2 is looking for it (you'll need to give the actual location of the file i.e. /var/www/hosted/dada/binaries/ffmpeg)...

Just checking the obvious

I'm pretty sure it's installed, but not to worry, i've figured out a different solution without using FFMPEG.

Let me know how you get on with it, if needs be, I'll task a support chap to look into the ffmpeg thing a little more, had a few requests over the last week for it.

What are you using as an alternative?

If you do need to use it again then:

Just do a "dbupdate" on command line and then run "locate ffmpeg" this will list ever file with ffmpeg in it's name.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm pretty new to this, and thought I had to use FFMPEG to put video files into the gallery. I now realise I didnt need it for that, and I could do it anyway, so i sort of gave up trying with the FFMPEG tool.

How are you putting video up on Gallery now then??

[colinjm]

Well it's letting me add the vid files as I would a picture. It's then assigning it a generic thumbnail that i've uploaded. When you click on it, it simply says 'download video' and when you click on that it plays in media player.

i know it's not perfect as it doesnt play within the gallery browser windows, but it's fine for what it'll be used for.
