Jomsocial Videos upload but don't show in media stream

DragAuth1

I tested the jomsocial video uploads. The video did upload. I can see it and play it in the back end. So, I assume the ffmpeg is correctly setup. However, I am not seeing the video appear in my media stream on the front end.

How would I go about getting the videos to appear like all other posts?

Thank you.

Hi
When you upload a video on frontend it will upload to server and comes as Pending video till FFMPEG not convert the video, same pending video will display on the backend.
I checked on backend the FFMPEG is not working : http://prntscr.com/uljstl to convert videos.

I see your screen print out and it says it's not there. I do have it installed at /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg. I have another component the utilizes it just fine. Would installing a 2nd instance elsewhere further in the directory help solve this?

Hi
No there is no 2nd installation needed. Can you tell you installed it as server application or PHP module?
As if its installed correctly it should work.
Here is latest version of FFMPEG if its same on your server as PHP module https://ffmpeg.org/download.html

I installed it personally following the instructions for another component I utilize. That other component is working perfectly fine uploading and using all the codecs to function. I believe it is a server application, not a PHP module. It is installed right within the main directory, but not within the Joomla directory.

Hi
If its install as Server application that is different and not used by JomSocial. it must be installed on server as library and make sure that FFMPEG path is correct You can Ask your hosting provider about it.

Okay. Thank you. I will see what I need to with AWS, as they are who I use.

You are welcome! The video conversion something only from server end FFMPEG. You need to make sure its installed and exact path is defined in JomSocial settings.
