Videos just won't upload!!!!!

I'm sorry, title should say VIDEOS JUST WON'T PLAY!!! I tried to edit the title to the post but this outstanding featureless, bug ridden Orca forum won't allow it.

I have checked everything. I have read every post on this board about it and in the end, The videos just won't play.

I can find the video after the processing is complete in the flash/modules/videos/files folder. There's always the original and the .flv conversion. The .flv conversion is ALWAYS 0kb's in size.

The allowed upload size in my php configuration is set to 128 megs, confirmed 4 times. The files I am testing with are less than 10 megs. wmv, mpeg, mp4, it makes no difference.

The cron job is set up and functioning as evident by the emails I receive. I have confirmed the proper php path as well as the configuration itself multiple times. It's finding the cron.php file as well as the ffmpeg.exe file and executing, blah blah blah!

I have checked every permission setting on every folder and file in my directories.... repeatedly.

I've uploaded RC5 over RC4 and have checked my configurations till I am blue in the face. I am tired of this and starting to get very angry! 

I confirmed the port settings and the IP address for the RMS (I have a dedicated server at Arvixe). It didn't work in RC4 and it still doesn't work in RC5.

Has anyone actually come up with the reason this happens? I would very much like to resolve this issue so I can move on.

Hello!

First of all - possible reason of 0Kb size - disc space exceeded.

If it is OK then check point from this doc http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/GenDolTShooter#IgetUploadingfileerrororUndefinedwhenuploadingaudiovideofilesinRayMediaandVideoPlayers

just change line about ffmpeg path from this:

$s = realpath("ray/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe");

to this one

$s = realpath("flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe");

Wow.

I like you.......

I'll let you know if I get it fixed. I have never seen that section of this site before.

Ok, here it is.

PHP INI settings

safe mode =
disabled functions =
max execution time = 600
post_max_size = 128M
upload max filesize = 128M

Safe mode is off and disabled function is empty (no exec()). Permissions were checked on everything. I am still getting an empty flv file in the directory. as I have done with every other install post/wiki/manual I could find, I follwed your page to the letter.

BTW, I caught it with my limited abilities but I would add opening and closing php tags to that php code (<? ?>). Some people might miss that and end up thinking their php exec() function is disabled.....

Its possible that you may need to include the path to your php.ini file in your cron job command (depending on your host).

example:

/usr/bin/php -c /home/public_html/yoursite/php.ini -q /home/public_html/yoursite/periodic/cron.php

It's kind of a moot topic for me as I hve moved from Arvixe to another host. I've had enough trouble with the video solutions in Dolphin that I have decided to just wait and let Boonex do my install for me after I purchase the Prime license this week.

Prime? I wish you all the best, then, wise, brave and most certainly wealthy adventurer.

In all seriousness, I hope you will find a solution to your issues when BoonEx does the installation.
