i need help installing ffmpeg.. i think i do everything correctly.. can you help me.. ?

Providing a detailed description of which your problem is would be a good start. Also spare 5 minutes reading and understanding the forum rules.

i've been having trouble installing ffmpeg-php on my server... my server is a dedicated virtual server...

i've installed ffmpeg... i think it works.. im able to generate thumbnails now so it's all good.. but the duruation i can't.. maybe i have the wrong server path..... i have the right path set for ffmpeg.. is path to .php the ffmpeg-php path? cuz in that folder there is no ffmpeg.so file.

i get this error..."Could not load ffmpeg-php extension. Using fallback method. ERROR: Could not determine video duration.

maybe i can give you my account info and stuff...and if you can get it to work please... i was able to install ffmpeg... and ffmpeg-php...but it's not working in hwdvideoshare.. ffmpeg i think is working cuz i'm able to generate thumbs and dynamic thumbs..

Good work!

Ffmpeg-php is a PHP extension. You don't need to put the path to ffmpeg-php anywhere!

The ffmpeg-php extension is loaded by PHP when necessary.

You can check it is loaded by looking at your phpinfo() page in the Joomla administrator. This should tell you. Also see this:
documentation.hwdmediashare.co.uk/wiki/S...e#Install_FFMPEG-PHP

here is the info page... i was able create it before looking at some other walk throughs...

205.186.137.54/test.php


this is where i got confused:

# cd ffmpeg-php
# phpize
# ./configure && make clean && make && make install

//mine worked up to here... and the output showed me where it saved it in the library...

The output of the make install step will show the path where the compiled library is saved.

Once the extension has been compiled, it must be added to php, for example by adding the following line to php.ini:

echo "extension=ffmpeg.so" >> /yourphp_ini_path/php.ini

You can know where the system php.ini file by checking the output of phpinfo(). You must then reload your apache server:

# /etc/init.d/httpd reload (/etc/init.d/apache2 reload for Debian based distributions)


i added:

[ffmpeg]
extension=ffmpeg.so

below the dynamic extensions how others told me... maybe the mistake is here? cuz you you have some path as well...
