FFMPEG needs to be installed on root by godaddy, but seeing as its a shared server and its not already installed, i dont think they will install it for you. you will need to find hosting that is ffmpeg ready.

Hi,

thanks for the reply.
yes go daddy not provide any installation support for shared server.

we need to know what OS you are running

[jayminkey]

Operating system Linux 2.6.26.8-57.fc8 (os_FedoraCore 8)

[seco]

This guide outlines how to install ffmpeg on CentOS, FC8 & Cpanel server.

1. Install the rpm forge repository. For this visit: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B and selct the OS that you're using.

In my case, i run the following for Centos x86_64 5.3:

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS//rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

2. Install ffmpeg

yum install ffmpeg mencoder mplayer -y

3. Install ruby through cpanel

/scripts/installruby

4. Install flvtool2:

Visit: http://rubyforge.org/projects/flvtool2/ and download the latest flvtool2 gem then run:

gem install flv*

if this doesnt work let me know.

Hi,

i have installed ffmpeg successfully.

# php -i | grep ffmpeg
ffmpeg
ffmpeg-php version => 0.6.0-svn
ffmpeg-php built on => Nov 24 2009 18:42:08
ffmpeg-php gd support => enabled

ffmpeg libavformat version => Lavf52.31.0
ffmpeg swscaler version => SwS0.7.1
ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0
ffmpeg.show_warnings => 0 => 0

also add the extention="ffmpeg.so" in php.ini file.

extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php/modules"
extension="ffmpeg.so"

extension is loaded and i have checked ffmpeg entry in phpinfo.php file

when i used ffmpeg in my php script like below,

$audioffmpeg='usr/bin/ffmpeg';
$encode_cmd = "$audioffmpeg -i notify.wav test.mp3";
exec($encode_cmd) or die ("ffmpeg did not work");

it shows me "ffmpeg did not work"

in usr/bin directory there is a entry of ffmpeg so i have used 'usr/bin/ffmpeg' path. Also i have check in usr/local/bin but there is no any single file

i dont know it is path problem or other.

how would i check n set the exact path in php script?
how would i use ffmpeg in my php script?
