What do I have to install in a dedicated ubuntu server so that FFMPEG will be able to get thumbnail of youtube videos?
Requirement for FFMPEG to get Youtube thumbnail
 |
I don't recall you needing any ffmpeg binary for the generation of YouTube video thumbnails, and even if, you shouldn't require anything beyond what's listed in the requirements documentation. BoonEx Certified Host: Zarconia.net - Fully Supported Shared and Dedicated for Dolphin |
For some reason, ffmpeg just wouldn't retrieve files on remote server, while local files were processed flawlessly. For example, when I executed the following command: ./ffmpeg.exe -i 1.mov -ss 00:00:01 -vframes 1 -f image2 "image%03d.jpg" It generated image001.jpg with the correct thumbnail, but if I execute this command: ./ffmpeg.exe -i "http://sitename.ext/1.mov" -ss 00:00:01 -vframes 1 -f image2 "image%03d.jpg" It returned an error like this: http://sitename.ext/1.mov: I/O error occurred |
According to Alex T, it does require ffmpeg. The command works fine on my GoDaddy Grid Hosting but not Media Temple (ve) Server. I just got off the phone with an MT rep, but still, he's couldn't help much.

Does anyone have idea of how ffmpeg retrieves remote file? Perhaps I am missing the download engine. |

What's the default port though? I assume it's using 443 or 80. I set my firewall to allow all input and output. |
It's possible that it could just use port 80, but this is unusual for a process that runs separate to apache - apache normally binds port 80 all for itself. My guess is that it uses a different port and this may not be open on your server. Hence my question - to see if it uses anything other than port 80. As to which port it does use??? That I do not know. /DM Dolphin - Ajax Masturbation |
I have just updated the server OS, but keeping the dolphin directory and database. Everything is working just fine now. Thanks everyone. I am sorry that this little bug has to cost you, especially Nathan, some time. Much appreciated! |
