HELP: ffmpeg-php
PHP newb here...
ffmpeg-php is a PHP extension that adds functions for accessing and retrieving information from movies and audio files. ffmpeg-php provides access to the many audio and video formats supported by ffmpeg. ffmpeg-php requires ffmpeg to be installed on the host system and here is my question. I am going to buy web hosting services from a web host (probably one.com). Will I be able to install the ffmpeg application on their web server in order to install and use ffmpeg-php? Thanks for any help. |

Re: HELP: ffmpeg-php
This is a question you should ask your hosting service of choice. I'd expect the default answer is 'no', unless you're paying for a dedicated server. With shared hosting, they need to restrict things to prevent one user from buggering up things for the rest.

Re: HELP: ffmpeg-php
I just call ffmpeg on command line with php's exec(). It's working fine and pretty fast, didn't want to mess with ffmpeg-php nor installing anything. If your host supports exec() etc. probably you can do it(php safe mode off?).
E.g.: Put ffmpeg.exe to ".../apache/domain.com/ffmpeg.exe" Then: <?php
$fil="c:/videos/movie.mpg";
$command="\"C:\\Progra~1\\Apache~1\\Apache2\\htdocs\\domain.com\\ffmpeg.exe -y -i ".str_replace("/","\\"."\\",$fil)." -vframes 1 -ss 1 -an -vcodec png -f rawvideo -s 160x120 thumbnails\\thumbnail_".md5($fil).".png\"";
exec($command);
?> |
