Problems with MEncoder, Conversion does not work

[Gary4gar]

All modules are installed, clipshare detects them. I have clipshare 4
MEconder is not converting video files into flv. Uploads are working and I can see thumbnails being generated. so its not a mplayer issue either.
After uploading I get a uploading was success msg and when i try to play the video. it does not play.

I manually tried not converting videos with command life, after that clipshare is playing them normally.

here is my convert.php

PHP Code:

<?php

i find this :Please check if you have the PHP CLI package installed, also check the configuration for PHP cli (not the apache module) if safe_mode or open_basedir are enabled.please check to make sure FFmpeg and Mencoder are properly installed on your server. also check this path from your siteadmin>>Media Settings>> /usr/local/bin/mencoder remove /local from MPlayer Path, Mencoder Path, FFMpeg Path. Save and try to re upload. if it does not converts.
look error log maybe its say something

Hi,

As you can see there is no local in MPlayer Path, Mencoder Path, FFMpeg path

I checked the tmp/logs dir. there are only mplayer logs related to thumbnail generation. can't find MEconder logs for conversion process.


Here is my phpinfo() that i copied from that server. see if gives any info

I have removed sitename from it for privacy reasons

I mean server log from Cpanel error log
try to convert then look Error log from Cpanel or whatever

Look like everything is OK but sometimes ClipShare depend on server background services, what is the answer from your hosting support?

[Gary4gar]

Where do i find Cpanel log? and its a Unmanaged VPS so no software support.

[edit]
I checked in /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log its empty got any other ideas?

Two things i am looking at
* missing XVID Support
* ffmpeg-php gd support disabled

However, I myself installed from source.

root@server [~]# ldconfig -v |grep xvid
        libxvidcore.so.4 -> libxvidcore.so.4.1
        libxvidcore.so.4 -> libxvidcore.so.4.2

root@server [~]# php -i | grep ffm
ffmpeg
ffmpeg support (ffmpeg-php) => enabled
ffmpeg-php version => 0.5.3.1
ffmpeg-php gd support  => disabled
ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0
ffmpeg.show_warnings => 0 => 0

any idea what causing videos not to be converted

Nop
i dont have clipshare installed right now
Fastest way is to pay guys from clip share 25 bucks for install .
