Sounds like a cURL problem...make sure cURL is enabled in php.ini...check to make sure cURL is listed in your phpinfo()

You don't need ffmpeg-php if you are running XAMPP for Windows. Only ffmpeg.exe is required.

I'm still using the 32-bit version of ffmpeg.exe on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS and it works fine.

hi, thanks for pointing that out. i just enabled the cURL and it worked like charm. the only thing is that the progress bar doesn't show progress while converting the video into mp3.
and thanks for the script i loved it

I've posted all kinds of ways to troubleshoot this issue in this thread, so please try some of those things...if you still can't get it to work, come back here, update me with what you were able to find out, and I'll see if I can help you further...

I can confirm that I had the same problem for that video. Other videos download/convert fine though, so this appears to be an isolated incident -- an anomaly. However, if you find that the code is "choking" on other videos as well, please let know. In that case, I may have to modify the code accordingly. Keep me posted.

The code will work on Linux. See this post: http://www.codingforums.com/showpost...&postcount=153. If you need help with this, let me know and I'll do my best.

For everything those who have a problem with the conversion progress bar, I've modified the script of chump, to resolve this problem

it's not a very good modification but it's works fine

in fact with the original script I've a problem with this line :

PHP Code:

  $currentTime = (float)end($times[2]); 


why no idear , so I wrote a modification :

original script by chump :

PHP Code:

  if (preg_match('/(Duration: )(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d\.\d\d)/i', $log, $matches) == 1)
        {
            $totalTime = ((int)$matches[2] * 60 * 60) + ((int)$matches[3] * 60) + (float)$matches[4];
            $numTimes = preg_match_all('/(time=)(.+?)(\s)/i', $log, $times);
            if ($numTimes > 0)
            {
                $currentTime = (float)end($times[2]);
                $progress = round(($currentTime / $totalTime) * 100);
                if ($progress < 100)
                {
                    $newLogLength = $file_size;
                } 


Modification by me :

PHP Code:

 if (preg_match('/(Duration: )(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d\.\d\d)/i', $log, $matches) == 1)
        {
              $totalTime = ((int)$matches[2] * 60 * 60) + ((int)$matches[3] * 60) + (float)$matches[4];
              $numTimes = preg_match_all('/(time=)(.+?)(\s)/i', $log, $times);


              if ($numTimes  > 0 ) {
                             $count=count($times[0]);
                             for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++)
                             { 
                             $numTimes = $times[0][$i];
                             $parse_numTimes =  list($hours,$minutes,$seconds,$mili) = split(':',$numTimes);
                             $seconds_numTimes  = $hours * 3600 + $minutes * 60 + $seconds;
                             $progress = round(($seconds_numTimes / $totalTime) * 100);
                             } 
              if ($progress < 100 )
                {
                    $newLogLength = $file_size;
                } 


I hope this help you if you've some problem with the original script !

bedo1974, your issue appears to be with preg_match_all()...so in fact, your issue is with this line:

PHP Code:

$numTimes = preg_match_all('/(time=)(.+?)(\s)/i', $log, $times); 


For you, it does not seem to be capturing matches of parenthesized (sub)patterns -- only matches of the entire regex pattern...

Did you try adding a flag to preg_match_all, like so:

PHP Code:

$numTimes = preg_match_all('/(time=)(.+?)(\s)/i', $log, $times, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); 


If that doesn't do it, then perhaps there is some strange configuration/compilation error in PHP as it pertains to PCRE.

[bedo1975]

hi chump, I test now with you'r suggestion

[bedo1975]

$numTimes = preg_match_all('/(time=)(.+?)(\s)/i', $log, $times, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

don't work on my server chump, I think it's right, configuration/compilation error in my php I will see

Hi,

I'm having an issue: the video doesn't seem to get downloaded by the server. It creates a 0ko file and then try to convert it. As you might guess, I get a convert error in the log.
cURL, ffmpeg and ffmpeg-php are installed and working.
PHP Version 5.3.2-1 ubuntu 4.14

For this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do23sTe4dhA
it gives me this GetFlvUrl():
http://o-o.preferred.par08s01.v5.lsc...8db7b137b87610

I think the problem may be that link (it doesn't seem to be a FLV!)
so the problem may come from SetFlvUrl(), which is at the very moment:

PHP Code:

        private function SetFlvUrl($file_contents)
        {
            $vidUrl = '';
            if (eregi('"url_encoded_fmt_stream_map": "url=',$file_contents))
            {
                $vidUrl = end(explode('"url_encoded_fmt_stream_map": "url=',$file_contents));
                $vidUrl = urldecode(urldecode(current(explode('\u0026',$vidUrl))));
            }
            //die($vidUrl);
            $this->_flvUrl = $vidUrl;
        } 


Any idea?
Thanks in advance!

P.S: Sorry for my english I'm doing my best
