Conversion problem

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

i have written a small upload a video and convert to .flv script but it's not working for some reason, the initial file is uploaded but the conversion isn't doing its stuff, can anyone see any problems at all:

 

<?php 
  ## HTML form 
  echo ("<br />");
  echo ("<fieldset>");
  echo ("<legend>Upload Your Audition Video</legend>");
  echo ("<form action=\"uploadvideo.php\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" />"); 
  echo ("<table width=\"600\" border=\"0\" bordercolor=\"#000000\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"0\">");
  echo ("<tr>");
  echo ("<td align=\"center\"><b>Select an audition video to upload</b></td><td align=\"center\"><input type=\"file\" name=\"video\" size=\"50\" /></td>");
  echo ("</tr>");
  echo ("<tr>");
  echo ("<td colspan=\"2\" align=\"right\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Upload Video\" /></td>");
  echo ("</tr>");
  echo ("</table><div id=\"notice\">Video formats you can upload are: <b>.avi .mov .wmv</b></div></form>");
  echo ("</fieldset>");
  
  ## deal with the submission
  if(isset($_POST['submit']))
  {
  
  ## set up a few server variables
  $ffmpeglocation = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg";
  
  ## set up file variables
  $filename = $_FILES['video']['name'];
  $filetemp = $_FILES['video']['tmp_name'];
  $filesize = $_FILES['video']['size'];
  $filetype = $_FILES['video']['type'];
  
  ## get the extension everything after the .
  $fileextension = substr(strrchr($filename, "."), 1);
  
  ## make lower case
  $filenamelowercase = strtolower($fileextension);
  
  ## now we have the files extension do some checking
  //if($fileextension != 'avi' || $fileextension != 'mov' || $fileextension != 'wmv') {
  //   stderr("Error","That file isn't one of the allowed types, look above for the proper files to upload.");
  //   include("includes/footer.php");
  //   exit;  
  //}
  
  ## no video uploaded
  if($filesize <= 0) { 
     stderr("Error","No video file was selected for uploading.");
     include("includes/footer.php");
     exit;     
  }
  
  ## start processing stuff vars first
  $uploadedmoviesdir = "movies/$filename";
  $outputflvdirectory = "flvfiles/video.flv";
  
  ## move the uploaded file
  if(move_uploaded_file($filetemp,$uploadedmoviesdir)) {
     stderr("Success","Your video file has been uploaded.");
     include("includes/footer.php");
     exit;   
  }
  
  ## ffmpeg encoding
  $encode_cmd = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i $uploadedmoviesdir -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -author \"Clip Author\" -copyright \"Clip Copyright\" $outputflvdirectory";
  exec($encode_cmd);
  
  }
?>

 

cheers guys

Then I would suggest that htis is an ffmpeg issue and not that of php.

Hi, i've had a play at the ffmpeg part and also having trouble. I've tried various commands but always get return code 1, not 0. I'm not sure if it's the user it's running as, I know it has other restrictions such as access raw sockets. I've thought of a few other way's to try, but for now you could look at http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/, but you'll probably need your host to install it, or to look through the source and see how they do it.

 

p.s. since i've got a new laptop, i'm not fully installed, so only with a basic ffmpeg install, i got an error for the mp3 codec when i ran your cmd from the terminal, so since then i've just been using [$cmd = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i ".$fin." -f flv -author 'Clip Author' -copyright 'Clip Copyright' ".$fout;]
