Garethp Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I am going out of my mind. I might have to go on a killing spree if I can't get help I'm using EasyPHP as a hosting method on my computer, I installed ffmpeg-php but then it gave me an error that it could not open the video file when I used this command $ffmpegInstance = new ffmpeg_movie("Awakening.avi"); I checked, the file was in the right place. I googled it and the only thing I could find was that I needed FFMpeg installed on my computer, which is a windows one. So I looked for a tutorial on compiling it on Windows and found one, but it was old and wouldn't work. I so need help. Please. I've been trying on and off for 6 months and it's driving me insane!!!

DjMikeS Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well, do you have access to the file? The account that EasyPHP runs under should have READ access to the file....

dapaintballer331 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Try installing ffmpeg, (not ffmpeg_php) and execute conversions, etc via command line ( shell_exec('ffmpeg -i inputfile.mp3') ) etc Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/124058-ffmpeg/#findComment-640522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
