Uploadind Videos

Hello

i'm try to upload a hd video on my site the video size is 40MB

the video start uploading take like 3min to upload but when is finish i dont see no video on my album

Do all of you other video files process ok? For instance, can you post a 25MB file and it process ok?

No is nat working i try to upload a video with size 3MB and nat working only the youtubes link are working 100% perfect

Ok, lets go through to make sure you cron job is set right.

Go to your cPanel, click Cron Jobs, click advanced (unix style)

it should look very similar to this:

Minute    Hour   Day  Month  Weekday                                  Command

*           *        *       *          *                     /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/mysite/public_html/periodic/cron.php

*** Note: Command path may vary to your specific location

Once you upload a video, click the link that says "not processed" and see if you see your video in there. We can continue once you have verified this. btw, there is a space between php, -q, and /home/

my say

0 0 * * *  Command : is empty

Theres you problem. All videos are processed by the cron job except embedded videos. Use the instructions I posted previously and setup your cron job. This should fix your problem.

As stated previously, your root path to your cron.php file may differ from what I listed.

Chris

thanks but i dont know about the command

* * * * *

example public_html/mysite/and my video folders like this or wat i'm lost Zarcon

You have to know how to set crons.  If you have cpanel this is really easy, just go into cpanel and click on the cron and setup exactly as Zarcon shows.  If you don't have cpanel or similar you have to do it by hand.  Here is a link where you can read about crons and setting them: http://www.webmasters-central.com/article-blog/tutorials/cron-tutorial-managing-cron-tab-or-cron-job-is-easy/

OK, let me see if I can walk you through this. Login to your FTP client and open/edit your inc/header.inc.php file.

Look for this:

$dir['root'] = "/home/mysite/public_html/"; ( in red is you actual root path, jot this down or copy/paste it into notepad)

Next:

Go to your cPanel, click Cron Jobs, click advanced (unix style)

Put all * symbols in time, days, and months (should be 5 * symbols)  * * * * *

Next:

In the command line put in     /usr/local/bin/php -q      (just like you see it copy/paste if you want)

press the space bar and add you actual ROOT path (that you copied previously above) with periodic/cron.php behind it. So it will look something like this in the command line:

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/mysite/public_html/periodic/cron.php

* * * * *

/usr/local/bin/php -q/home1/mysite/public_html/periodic/cron.php

wat u think

Looks good but make sure there is a space between the -q and /home1/

my install told me to use

* * * * *            cd /home/site/public_html/periodic; /ramdisk/bin/php5 -q cron.php

but videos dont work and i get a couple hundread emails a day saying

<font color="red">allow_url_include is On (warning, you should have this param in Off state, or your site will unsafe)</font> <br />
Please go to the <br />
<a href="http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/GenDolTShooter">Dolphin Troubleshooter</a> <br />
and solve the problem.

and my allow_url_includes is off in the php.ini

wish one i click now  Add Cronjob  Commit Changes      Reset Changes

LutherVanguard, Trust me, that will not work,. Its in the wrong format. Use the one I posted.

For you, like this:

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home/site/public_html/periodic/cron.php

Commit Change

UFO for testing purposes if your not on a live server, you can rename the .htaccess file that is inside the periodic folder and run the cron.php file directly.  I do that when i want to quickly test different conversion ratio's to see what is best and not have to wait for my cron to run.

ok i try to upload the video again but is nat working

same its not working for me still ether, now I'm wondering if it has anything to do with maybe a screw up in permissions?

I would bet you don't have your php.ini setup to handle files that large.  Check your php.ini to ensure your upload_max_filesize is at at least 45M (45 megs) and your post_max_size is at least 45M.

To edit this you cannot do it through your cpanel of the site, you must have access to the main server php.ini file or WHM access.

Edit: the default max post and upload via .php is somewhere around 8 megs so you want to def change that.

my php.ini  code

register_globals Off
post_max_size = 300M
upload_max_filesize = 300M
max_execution_time = 250
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Does the video show up in unprocessed.  To check this go to the album where the video is at and click on manage albums and you should see a link to see unprocessed videos.  If its in there that means your cron needs to run to process it.

Have you been able to get any videos to process or convert?

well im uploading a 5mb video <--- pic

vid stays in processing and never works, never got it to convert that i know of.
my new cron job is 

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home/site/public_html/periodic/cron.php

My old one is

cd /home/site/public_html/periodic; /ramdisk/bin/php5 -q cron.php

both crons give me the same email message of me having my allow_url_includes set to on when its really off in the php.ini file.

@Luther, what happens when you upload a video, just nothing?

no when the video stop uploading i dont see nothing i check my albums and nothing

oops thats an old pic, i meet the Recommended, so i know the php.ini file is working

i can't wait to get this fix lol i want to upload my extreme video me sky diving with some friends lol

You shouldn't see anything in your albums until it finishes converting the file.  It should be placed in the unprocessed folder.

Try this, go into Admin>Modules>Videos and see if the video you uploaded is at least listed in there.  All videos, processed or not, will showup.  If nothing is showing up you might have a permission issue somewhere and you will want to double check the folder permissions for the flash/modules/video/files.  Ensure that folder is at least 755

yeah my video is there but its not leaving the processing,  also Pic of correct admin i'm willing to go into a voice chat if you know a place?

We can use the dolphin demo chat, can't really voice chat with all my background noise going on.

Nop no videos on my admin panel and my flash/modules/video/files  is set to 755

@UFO, well at least we've narrowed down the problem for you.  For some reason the video is not properly writing/posting to the directory.  FTP into your site and check in that directory to see if there is anything in there at all.  The video will have a number and you should see files like this: 1.flv 1.jpg, 1.mp4 1.mpg 1_small.jpg

were i got public_html/mysite/ and wat

flash/modules/videos/files

Thats where all video files should be located.  Check in that directory to see if you have anything in there besides *.php files.

ok im on the demo site as luther

no no video files only 7 files the originals only no video file

hey UFO what host company do you use?

lol i want to get this fix before my new southpark episode start

www.hostmonster.com

Do you have access to your error logs and check them to see if you can pinpoint an error anywhere.  Check the error logs in cpanel and then see if there is an error log in the flash/module/video/inc folder

no i don't see no errors logs about that

i'm getting this report to my email i have like 89 report from the Cron Daemon

Cron <mysite@host000> /ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home1/mysite/public_html/periodic/cron.php

No input file specified.

thats because the cronjob is messed up

location should be /ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home1/mysite/public_html/periodic/cron.php

just replace mysite with your correct name,  mine was my login name to my account.

also you have a 1 after home which mine isn't that way so maybe you typo'd?

* * * * *      /ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home/mysite/public_html/periodic/cron.php

when u say that u telling me to add mysite name example: disney.com

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home1/disney.com/public_html/periodic/cron.php

naa try the username you use when you log into the control panel.  thats why i always say mysite and im sure thats why others say that since its a security thing.

i send a support ticket to my hosting company and they say my command is right and perfect this about dolphin
