Im i the only one having this problem

Im i the only one having this problem

No

I solved the problem about ten minutes ago . . .

It's taken me days to sort this out and I can't guarantee it will work for you. I'm not an expert and most of the things I learned here I gleaned from old posts by using Google instead of the forum search engine. I also found stuff on other sites.

Videos are manipulated with a file named ffmpeg.exe found in /flash/modules/global/app
It uses a lot of resources and some shared hosting services may not allow you to use it. There should be no problem with VPS.

Starting from the obvious first, then delving deeper if necessary:

1. Go to ffmpeg.exe and check the file permissions. They need to be 777. I came unstuck there.
2. Now see if you can embed. Don't use the embed code on Youtube, use the standard share code which is usually the same URL as the movie. The embed code is used on vanilla web sites where the user doesn't set up parameters to show the movie. As Dolphin does this for you, the embed code won't work.
3. With luck the embedded movie will appear and you should be able to play it.

--------------------------
3. If you still have problems, go to Admin/Tools/Host Tools
4. Look for any FAIL comments, but look at the bottom of the page for any files that have been disabled. I found one - shell_exec

Fixing this may not be easy.

1. Go to php.ini and search for disable_functions. If shell_exe is there, delete it. If popen is also there, delete it as well. I found they weren't there and thanks to a member here who helped me on another matter several months ago, I found both of them in a file called httpd-vhosts.conf.
2. I run Ubantu and I found httpd-vhosts.conf in /etc/configs/apache/
3. Do a search for shell_exe and it's probably in a section called:
   php_admin_value suhosin.executor.func.blacklist which will contain various file names such as: "passthru, show_source, shell_exec, system, pcntl_exec, popen, pclose, etc . . .
4. Delete shell_exec and if popen is also there, delete it also. Make sure you only have one comma between each item when you've finished.
5. Save the file, reboot the server, run Dolphin, clear all caches and try again.

A strong coffee helps and good luck.

the reason you did not get an answer is because ths question has been asked a hundred times already - if you do a search you will find several posts about this.

 i did and didnt find anything that why i posted the question

 Thanks but still no go for me

 

As the Professor said, there are several threads on this subject. I based my solution on the way it worked for me because the answers in the other threads didn't work for me either.

Things that were mentioned covered:

1. Cron Jobs. If Cron isn't working Video uploading doesn't work. I'm not sure about embedding.

2. Some videos can't be embedded. This may apply to pop music and Movie trailers. Try embedding a file that works:

3. Have you checked that "Add videos" is checked in membership permissions (Admin/Dashboard item 8 in Initial Steps. Look in Standard Member)

I found the problem and now i can embed youtube again


checked your  php.ini 

i found mine was rename to php.ini_bk and there was no php.ini file in place

once i rename it back to php.ini my embeding starting working again

 

Now you need to find out who renamed your php.ini file behind your back.

it work before i upgraded and to 7.3 then stopped after the upgrade 

Im wondering if the upgrade backup the php.ini file but fail to copy or rename it back...

I'll have to look into this 

 

This is happening to me with a fresh install. Youtube videos say "video upload failed"

No wait it says "embedding video failed". It works on my other site running on 7.3.0 though.
