FFmpeg

[The Little Guy]

I would like to know why this doesn't work... any one know?

 

<?php
$loca = '../../tzfiles.com/users/ryan/file.mpg';
$new = '../../tzfiles.com/users/ryan/file.flv';
if(exec("/home/ryannaddy/bin/ffmpeg -i $loca -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 $new"))
echo 'SUCCESS!!!';
else
echo 'FAILED ';
?>

 

the output says FAILED

have you tryed excuting your command thru command line and not php?

 

 

go in w/e directory the php file is trying to execute from 

# /home/ryannaddy/bin/ffmpeg -i ../../tzfiles.com/users/ryan/file.mpg -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 ../../tzfiles.com/users/ryan/file.flv

 

 

see whats happens from there

OK, I go it:

 

<?php
$loca = '../../tzfiles.com/users/ryan/file.mpg';
$new = '../../tzfiles.com/users/ryan/file.flv';
exec("/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i ".$loca." -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 ".$new);
echo 'Done!!!';
?>

 

Now... there is still an issue... I can not do this to files with a space, how can I fix that, so I can?

 

The only way I can think of is to take the file, rename it to something with no space, then rename the final file back to the original state, but that seems like more work than needed. Is there an easier way?

Quote the filenames. I.e.

/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i "file name with spaces.mpg" -ar 22050 -ab 35 -f flv -s 320x240 "other filename with spaces.flv"

I am assuming that it doesn't matter if it is single or double quotes, but its linux, and I don't know much about linux.

I spent ages looking for this, so when i found it i had to share it on the web. It works !!! ( took me 2 days) Warning this only works if you already have the ffmpeg libary already installed ( my host did). you need the laod extenstion bit

 

$extension = "ffmpeg";

$extension_soname = $extension . "." . PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX;

$extension_fullname = PHP_EXTENSION_DIR . "/" . $extension_soname;

 

// load extension

if(!extension_loaded($extension)) {

    dl($extension_soname) or die("Can't load extension $extension_fullname\n");

}

 

  $exec_string = 'ffmpeg -i /home/parkhall/public_html/bands/design/uploads/001Spin.mp3 /home/parkhall/public_html/bands/design/uploads/omfg.mp3';

  exec($exec_string);
