D7 Video...File not found error on playback???

I get an. Error File not found when i try video playback? i don't have rms7 installed but i've heard and seen sites running d7 and showing video no problem? what's the problem?

Thanks, djkk1

Your RMS has nothing to do with Video playback. Videos are processed and viewed using your Cron Job and FFMPEG.

Need to make sure yur Cron Job is setup properly and /flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe is set to 777 permission,

thanks Zarcon, I actually just found another post related to this...i'm going to jump through the hoops! thx again

I think someone needs to research that. The install script will approve a 755 permissions setting for the ffmpeg file which should be sufficient to execute the file. Telling people to set it to 777 may be erroneous and not necessary.

we'll i guess i'm back to square one...really getting discouraged and disapointed in arvixe and boonex support of this matter...i tried several different changes and configurations but to no avail.

if someone sees something im missing please feel free to enlighten me...i would greatly appreciate it....

Did you check your cron jobs and permissions? Need a little more information on what you have already tried and what the exact issue is. Can you upload video fine? Just not processing?

Thanks

Just out of curiosity, what host are you using?

And why does my avatar seem to be stretched all out of shape now?

looks ok compared to mine

Arvixe...what the big problem with Arvixe???

yes have check cron job, and permissions...i'vee set the ffpeg.exe to 777 is there anything else to set???

I have the same problem. I'm using D7 with firefox or IE7 (both same problem). Permissions are correct. Cron is correct (adjusted by provider which is GigaPros).

Uploading seems to work, but when I check on my server, the file has not been created. It's just a binary folder.

GigaPros, who is supporting Dolphin, does not know (so far) what the problem is.

Anyone encountering the same problem ???

Yes I have and this is the same hosting company Arvixe

Once you upload a file, it is temporarily saved in the "files" folder without any extension (like 7, for example). This is not a bug or a problem or whatever else. The problem is that this file then should be processed by ffmpeg.exe and only after that it will gain the "flv" extension. Please also consider that you should not approve files in your Admin Panel before they get processed by ffmpeg, because such files will not be ever readable. If you're sure that ffmpeg.exe has no problems, you need to change the status of the uploaded but non-processed files to "pending" in the table RayVideoFiles and wait until the next cron run. Videos by default get processed every 5 minutes.

Well my upload videos are still not working and it's been almost 2 weeks

Try this as I just did and it all works now....

/flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe is set to 777 permission

Hi there!

I'm trying to solve this problem for a log time, but no success.

I have set my corn job OK (i guess) , I checked the ffmpeg.exe permissions and are 777.

Videos still don't work.....

Is one thing I don't understand. I recive this message on my cornjob email : "/bin/sh: /usr/lib/php: is a directory"

I recive this message 2 times a minute, so my email gets  full quick. What seems to be the problem?

Thanks !

go to /flash/modules/video/files/ and take a look at your file names i've found that the final file is being named .webm instead of .m4v i renamed them manually and they appeared and played as they should
