Cron working but video not playing

Hello all. I finally got the cron to work and now have the videos processing. The thumbnail is there, but when I go to play the clip, nothing happens. Just sits and does nothing. Any ideas?

can you look in your directory where the video was uploaded?

/flash/modules/video/files

i do believe that is the correct path. if the video(s) were converted you should see something similar to the following:

1.flv

1.jpg

1.mp4

1.mpg

1_small.jpg

this is what should happen when you convert a video file

let me know what you see in that directory, and we can almost determine if the file was processed.

also, what file size upload limit do you have and what is the file size that you are uploading

also, is ffmpeg.exe 777

Yes that is the correct path. The files are there and FFMPEG is set to 777. I am on Cirtex hosting (shared) file limit is 500meg. (yes 500 meg)

I hope you are testing with a 2mb file first...  i used cirtex in the past and had no problems running ffmpeg but that was almost a year ago on d6...

on a side note ffmpeg will never convert a 500mb video via php upload... 200mb is the max i think.

I had a similar issue with an Arvixe account, which involved the file/folder permissions. Try making sure the folders for your flash applications all have a permission level of 755.

Yes I was testing out small uploads and I got it working now. It wound up being a permission in the files folder. It was set at 777 and when I switched it to 755, it works. The only thing now is the quality isn't so great. Not sure where or what to change to bump the quality up. Overall I am quite happy with D7. Tried 5 and 6 in the past and didn't really care for it. But 7 is really nice so far. It's just taking some getting used to coming from Joomla and Jomsocial.

Thank you for all for your help.......
