How to run Dophin 7.1 with ffmpeg linux version ?

Hi,

I have see Dophin come with an .exe version of ffmpeg which should be for windows, but how I can connect linux version of ffmpeg to bonex on linux server ? There is no documentation about it.

It will work like it is.

Make sure to set the permission on the file to 777.

To be clear, it is the Linux version. My guess is that BoonEx added the .exe extension to show that it was an executable program. The Windows version of FFmpeg is actually in a separate download.

So as Newton wrote, make sure the permissions are right and that the cron job has been setup.

Linux does not use extensions like Windows and other OSes that rely on the extension to determine what programme to lunch to handle the file.

Note that you are not the first to think the ffmpeg that shipped with Dolphin was a Windows file.

yes, by that i'm asking because linux do not run .exe and all documentation are specific to this .exe which is weird.

So if i will install ffmpeg 'apt-get install ffmpeg' should work right ?

No.. As the 3 people above stated, the file that comes with Dolphin IS the Linux version. The .exe on the end is just for looks.  It will run, trust us.

And the answer to this is, it depends.  If the distro has a compiled version of ffmpeg then yes, if not, then no.  However, unless you are going to change the Dolphin code, it is going to have to be named ffmpeg.exe because that is the file that Dolphin is looking for.

Yes, Linux does run files with such names as xxxxx.exe.  You have already been told that bit of information.  You can easily confirm what we are telling you by doing some searches on the internet or visit a local library with computer books.
