FFMPEG NOT WORKING IN 7.1 VERSION

I use Arvixe as a hosting provider.  If i use their auto install and install 7.09 it works perfect.

If I manually install 7.1 there is an error with my FFMPEG cron jobs where at the end I get a

Database access error. Description: MySQL server has gone away

I am thinking that this must be a bug since the older version works.  I hope you can get this fixed because I really

want to use this version.

Thanks

OMG finally someone else who knows about it. I also had this error once.

I agree older version works. The new one seem to be buggy but what is worst ist for example mine doesnt convert any of the uploaded files! (video or audio)

Database access error. Description: MySQL server has gone away

That error has nothing to do with FFMPEG or  cronjobs

MYSQL Server has gone away. Common issue that is not dolphin specific. A google search will confirm that. https://www.google.com/search?q=MYSQL+Server+has+gone+away

Most common problem. MySQL database server over loaded, or conversion ran out of memory before it could be complete.

It maybe that video conversion takes longer time in 7.1 (due to more video formats it is converting to).

Mysql closes connection after some time.

So if mysql timeout is less than video conversion time - it can cause such error.

Try the following fix, increase timeout in flash/modules/global/inc/db.inc.php file, from 2.5 hours:

mysql_query("SET @@local.wait_timeout=9000;", $this->rLink);
mysql_query("SET @@local.interactive_timeout=9000;", $this->rLink);

to 6 hours:

mysql_query("SET @@local.wait_timeout=21600;", $this->rLink);
mysql_query("SET @@local.interactive_timeout=21600;", $this->rLink);

Hi Everyone...

I found a way around my issue with Arvixe. 

1.  I use the auto installer in my Cpanel to install 7.09.  Did a few changes, ie. changed admin folder, etc. 

2.  Tested to make sure it worked correctly by uploading music and videos of various sizes.  (it worked)

3.  Upgraded using Dolphin-Patch-v.7.1.0.B1... (did another test of uploading... No errors!)

4.  Upgraded using Dolphin-Patch-v.7.1.0.B2...(did another test of uploading... No errors!)

I am not sure why I can not do a complete fresh 7.10 version install and have it work on their server but I got it to work this way.

I wasted a weeks time trying to figure out how to fix this error and Arvixe had no clue as to why I was getting this error.  The Techs didn't even seem to know that there was a new version of Dolphin out there.  (SMH)

Thanks Alex, I really wish I would have known this fix before wasting all the time I did...  But I will keep this in mind cause I want to create a new site soon.
