JomSocial Vidoes not appearing on stream.

DragAuth

I have been testing to upload video from the Social Stream. I know the FFMPEG is installed and works. I can see in media folders that videos have been uploaded to the server and the front page gives the notification that an email will be sent once the video is finished being processed. I am not getting any email that it is being processed.

So, I'm kinda stuck figuring out what needs to change to get the video's to appear in the media stream. Than k you.

Hi
Is the FFMPEG is installed as PHP Module on server or application.
The video will be uploaded even without FFMPEG but it will not be converted I checked your site and FFMPEG is not working on your server kindly re check http://prntscr.com/sqy88f
The cron Job will not give this error if FFMPEG is working to convert videos.

I do not know the difference if it is PHP Module, server, or application. What I do know is, I installed the FFMPEG independantly through my SSH client directly into the directory to work for another video application I have running to serve those who wish to upload larger videos and make channels. So, I know I have it on my server and it does work for that app.

I have it installed in my /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg folder along with several other video codecs.

This is the same address I have within the Joomla component as well. I'm not sure what I need to do to link them together and work.

Thanks again.

DragAuth Hi
Please add the absolute path of installation /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
in JomSocial video settings and then try to upload a new sample video.
Once it processed, run the cronJob to see the Conversion of video through FFMPEG.
You can ask your hosting provider as well about the installed version and its installed as PHP module not an application.

Pankaj,

I have followed those steps. I double verified that my Chron setup was working too. I do have the FFMPEG as that address to start with. I am operating on the Amazon EC2, so I am my own hosting provider. I installed the FFMPEG myself, so I can assure it is there and operating. I installed it from SSH command into a the directory I listed.

After following these initial steps, I am still not getting any videos to process and appear on the social stream.

Thank you.

Hi
there is chances FFMPEG is not working, its not something that can be fixed via JomSocial as FFMPEG is server side service.

To test it i added sample video http://prntscr.com/ss1x4c
Run the cron manually to see if the FFMPEG still not working http://prntscr.com/ss1xga
And there is same error the videos are not converted.

JomSocial will send notification to user only if videos are converted

Panjak, I am getting the same results. I know it is not the chron scheduling, here's a shot of confirmed processes.

I did also go through my files on FileZilla and Remina to veryify my FFMPEG is working. I did notice that it was at a directory higher up than the joomla directory. I decided to install install a 2nd FFMPEG instance in a folder which I can see in eXplorer. So far still no luck with getting any video's to appear in the media stream.

What other settings could I look into to figure this out?

Hi
In screenshot its cron job, not about the FFMPEG.
Can you check the FFMPEG logs as that will give the details video are converted.
JomSocial show video on frontend only if they are converted.

Is there a seperate Chron code to process the Cron? I have one that is for Jomsocial, but not any that would specifically be for FFMPEG.

Hi
No if already added the Cron Job in Cpanel there is no other setup needed. CronJob has nothing do to with FFMPEG server, It only send command to for conversion to see if video converted they will show on website.
Please check with hosting provider to see the FFMPEG version and conversion logs for videos
