Dave I replaced my modified files to get ffmpeg to generate movie thumbs and I get:

and my movie thumbs gets built. I dunno if it my PHP version is the culprit PHP's getimagesize() error unable to determine dimensions.

I am curious if anyone else has problems. I did backup my files and my movie thumbs are getting created. Dave I thought you may want to know what I encountered.

Would you be able to post a example of what the modification should look like?

function makeThumbnail($dir, $thumb_size, &$album, $pathToThumb="")

is it just the pathToThumb that needs to be updated?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply but what should the code look like?

can you give me a example of what the code should look like?

Hey guys i am having probs with the getimagesize foults as well. It appears to only happen on wmv and some avi. What did you do dewdoo brown to fix it? My knowledge of php is very limited so any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Matt

Hey Dave
Thanks for the reply but I realized what my problem is/was I am a relative noob as far as php and linux so i had found a precompiled version of ffmpeg and apparently that was giving me some of the problems. I compiled my own version on my webserver (surprisingly easy) and that fixed all but one which isnt a problem afterall. All but one of my wmv's are wmv3 which ffmepg doesnt support and the one that i could get to work for some reason is a wmv1 and that is why i was so confused. Anyways turns out the php code getimagesize wasnt the problem afterall. I have a related question but I dont want to hijack this thread so i'll start a new one. Could you look for it in this forum and offer some advice?
Thanks again

Matt

Dave ? anyway you can send me the pre compiled binary for FFMPEG ?

MY host is running FreeBSD version 4.11

The FFMPEG host is having FTP server problems so I cannot get it from there. I also wouldnt be sure how to compile it.

Thanks in advance.

Beautiful !!!!!

thanks dave.

I have not updated the code for 1.5.1 yet not untill it it releaded (not RCs)

bare with me.. but i was not able to make it work. Could you post the changes that have been made in the AlbumItem.php with regards to the first post of Dave.

Can't seem to generate the thumbnail.

thanks,
--reynan

After some looking my AlbumItem.php and the AlbumItem.php I downloaded in your first post.. this line looks exactly the same on both

function setPhoto($dir, $name, $tag, $thumb_size, &$album, $pathToThumb="") {
function setPhoto($dir, $name, $tag, $thumb_size, &$album, $pathToThumb="") {

I can't get an error or anything so I'm doing _something_ wrong. I checked the config wizzard just to make sure the ffmpeg options are showing up.. and they are.

You missed that this IS NOT A PORTED NUKE MODULE WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE USING.

justchil, I guess I am confused as well as others the WHOLE Function changed not just the first line of the function...This is what the makeThumbnail function should look like.

	function makeThumbnail($dir, $thumb_size, &$album, $pathToThumb="") {
		global $gallery;
		$name = $this->image->name;
		$tag = $this->image->type;

		if (isDebugging()) {
		     processingMsg(_("Generating thumbnail."));
		}
		
		if ($this->isMovie()) {
			/* Use ffmpeg for the thumb */
                       $sessionId = session_id();
                       // format for tmp files
                       $tmpThumbFmt = $gallery->app->tmpDir."/$sessionId.movieThumb";
                       $tmpThumbTyp = "jpg";
                       $tmpThumb = "$tmpThumbFmt.$tmpThumbTyp";
                       $time = $gallery->app->ffmpeg_time; // take the time from config.php
		       /* do we have ffmpeg installed */
                       if($gallery->app->use_ffmpeg && file_exists($gallery->app->use_ffmpeg)){
				$cmd = $gallery->app->use_ffmpeg." -i $dir/$name.$tag -ss $time -f singlejpeg -t 0.001 -y $tmpThumbFmt.$tmpThumbTyp 2>$tmpThumbFmt.log";
                               list($results, $status) = exec_internal($cmd);
                               if($status > 0){
                                       gallery_error(array_pop( file("$tmpThumbFmt.log")));
                               }
                       }
                       /* were we able to generate the thumb? */
                       if(file_exists($tmpThumb)){

                       }else{
                               /* Use a preset thumbnail */

Look in your temp directory to see if the thumb is made with a session ID and .jpg that might point you to the issue.

Dave

may be a silly question but ive seen sillier mistakes.

have you uploaded a movie file ? to use with this mod ? to allow it to make a thumbnail ?

without the movie upped, dunno that the mod will do anything at all.

Yes I uploaded a movie lol.. I'm not completely ignorant :P

I'll try your suggestions tonight Dave. Thanks for you hard work!

Ok I'm getting closer...

ffmpeg -i evo_vs_cobra.mpeg -ss 13 -vframes 1 -t 0.001 -y test%d.jpg

Generates test1.jpg. %d defines the number of the pic according to how many vframes you set. This would work fine except it messes up the filename.

Either I'm going to have to figure out how to remove the %d part of it.. or just modify the gallery code to make it work.

seperate from FFMPEG was a codec package download. not sure if this information helps or hiners, but in case it was overlooked and is part of the problem, then ive helped. If not then i just wasted 30 seconds of your life reading this, and unfortunatly there are no refunds : )

Calm down.

are you sure you are using G1?

Try in a G2 forum.

Also has it been set up so you can use something other than first frame? I'd like to do the same thing i was trying to do with G2. (i want to use as default a second into the video for thumbnails or better yet, the middle of the video)

was my last post in this thread 3 years TO THE DAY!

I doubt it. lots have chanaged in 3 years,

only if the author submits them: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7130&atid=307130
I did not.

g2 does this, not this. You could look at how G2 does it witht eh ffmpeg call and adapt it to this, but you are on your own.

@hosts: Don't use ipowerweb, they use to support it but don't now. Dreamhost seems to be good but like most hosts they are cheap and thus overloaded/slow at times.

Fixed the above link to go to the right thread.
I did not have the files for the embedded movie mod anymore but the internet time machine did:
http://web.archive.org/web/20080201131910/http://langleycom.com/gallery_download/ so this should work:
http://web.archive.org/web/20080201131910/http://langleycom.com/gallery_download/1.5.1movie_mod.zip ( it is for G1.5.1) but should still work for 1.5.2

I will put that file back up to my site when I get a chance.

@G1.5.2: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gallery/gallery-1.5.2.zip?modtime=1221562868&big_mirror=1

Good luck!

Dave

Time to re-hash this topic.

floridave, I have added your code to Gallery 1.5..1. However, I can't seem to get thumbs created for my movie files that I am uploading.

I installed G2 to test ffmpeg with it and it works just fine for creating the thumbs for movies.

I checked my temp directory and found this log file.

Could that have something to do with the time set for ffmpeg? I left it at your default of 0.3. I have tried various videos that are different lengths. Still no success.

singlejpeg is depreciated try something like
$command = $_CONF['ffmpeg_path']." -i ".$inputPath." -ss ".$_CONF['thumb_offset']." -f mjpeg -vframes 1 -y -s 350x150 ".$outputPath;

Not a G1 guy. But apparently you applied Dave's code somewhere. I'm simply suggesting a different command mjpeg instead of singlejpeg.
Those $_CONF values would not be present in G1, you'll have to extrapolate.
