video sharing script

inferno-prime · August 10, 2020

Hello

First off I want to say thank to those who helped me with my last visit here they were a tremendous help.

I am using this script for encoding my video. this script encodes both webm and mp4 at the same time which is something I don't want. I was hoping to make that option select-able but I fear that would be to much to ask now. I'll admit I don't know much about php but I really do appreciate the help.

I have the encode file here I tried commenting some lines out but had no success. I will also mention that I tried their forums but they are no help since they expect everyone who comes there to magically know php. I asked for help several times and most of the time got no reply.

<?php

// Startup application
include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/bootstrap.php');

// Validate CLI parameters passed to script
$arguments = getopt('', array('video:', 'import::'));
if (!$arguments || !preg_match('/^[0-9]+$/', $arguments['video'])) exit();

// Validate provided import job
if (!empty($arguments['import'])) {
    if (file_exists(UPLOAD_PATH . '/temp/import-' . $arguments['import'])) {
        $importJobId = $arguments['import'];
    } else {
        exit('An invalid import job was passed to the video encoder.');
    }
} else {
    $importJobId = null;
}

// Establish page variables, objects, arrays, etc
$video_id = $arguments['video'];

Does quite a bit more than just WebM and MP4.

The script is broken down into a number of different scripts. Some of them are dedicated to converting to a particular format. If you don't want that format (at least not yet) then comment out the whole step.

inferno-prime · August 11, 2020

I did try this but then it said it could not find the video after conversion. I will try again and update you.

inferno-prime · August 30, 2020

I did what you said and it worked but now I have a new problem. After encoding is done its still looking for the mp4 file for some reason and it wont play the webm file even though its there.

requinix · August 30, 2020

You've only posted, and most likely looked at, the script that does conversions. Did you look at everything else too?

inferno-prime · August 30, 2020

Well considering I don't know much about php I have only been able to piece some things together. But give me some time and ill see what I can dig up. Ill check back as soon as I can with an update.

inferno-prime · August 31, 2020

Found the problem I had to remove this line : <source src="<?= $config->h264Url ?>/<?= $video->filename ?>.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> under the begin video section.

<?php
$this->addMeta('videoId', $video->videoId);
$this->addMeta('theme', $this->options->themeUrl);
$this->addMeta('loggedIn', (bool) $loggedInUser);

Now the webm will play.

Now my next problem is that this script has a mobile side as well but it forces you to encode a seperate video for that side. I simply want to use the same video from the desktop side. So I will see if I can either replace that same url for the mobile size or if I change the mobile videos folder to match the desktop one.

requinix · August 31, 2020

I don't see anything mobile in that code.

If you want to use the desktop video then adjust the URL the "mobile side" uses. Probably using the above code as a reference.

Line 23 was originally this :<source src="<?=$config->mobileUrl?>/<?=$video->filename?>.mp4" type="video/mp4" />. Tried changing some lines for the mobile folder in bootstrap and encode.php but no go.

Is it true that today's smartphone browsers cannot play the webm format ? Basically that's what I am trying to achieve here.

You changed it from using MP4 to using WEBM. I thought you said you were removing support for both of those?

Is it true that today's smartphone browsers cannot play the webm format ? Basically that's what I am trying to achieve here.

According to caniuse.com, WEBM is generally supported with VP8 as the most portable codec.

Sorry,no I only want to use webm for both mobile and desktop

You "only" want to use it for desktop and mobile? Okay... so what do you not want to use it for?

If you want WEBM at all then can I assume you did not remove support for it from the conversion script?

And what does "no go" mean when you say it's not working? How is it not working? What do you want it to do and what is it actually doing?

I want people to be able to view video from both their desktop and mobile devices.

No, I did not. I already tested it too and it works fine for desktop viewing.

Have you heard "it is a go no-go situation" before ? It is not working on mobile for some reason when I view it I see the thumbnail but no video plays and I want it to play. I will say it again because I can't stress it enough how much I appreciate your help or anyone's help on the matter.I have started trying to learn php to hopefully help some if any on this or future problems.

If you have anymore questions please let me know.

Have you ever tried to take your car to a mechanic and when they asked what was wrong you said the car was "no-go"? Try that sometime and let me know what they say.

That is useful information.

Stick the path to the video in an <a> link and click it (on mobile). What happens?

inferno-prime · September 3, 2020

Well I just found out some facts. The video does play I tried it on a friends phone and it worked fine. But for some reason on my iphone 5s it won't play. Can I pm you a link to the site to test on your mobile ? Would you be willing to test it ?

Time for you to do a little detective work: does the browser/iOS on your iPhone 5S support playing WEBM videos? If so, is it restricted to the VP8 codec? Is that what your WEBM videos are using?

inferno-prime · September 4, 2020

Alright I'll check into it. The weird this is I used another video cms called avideo and the webm played just fine.

requinix · September 4, 2020

Not all WEBMs are created equal. Codecs matter. That's what I've been trying to tell you.

inferno-prime · September 5, 2020

I'm sorry. Please be more straight forward with me in the future.

So let me ask how should I go about trying to make sure they are created equal if possible ?

requinix · September 6, 2020

What are the current "webm_encoding_options" settings that the conversion script is using?

inferno-prime · September 6, 2020

Do you mean these ?

-vcodec copy -vb 2k -acodec copy -ar 44100 -f webm

Edited September 6, 2020 by inferno-prime

requinix · September 6, 2020

-vcodec copy

That says to copy the existing video to the output. You need to re-encode the video as VP8.

inferno-prime · September 6, 2020

I encode it as vp8 on my pc first because of the major size difference.
