Hello,

I have a VPS-02 account with Imageleet. We moved from shared hosting to VPS hoping to see this problem resolved by the increased resources... our site is slowing to a hault- basically Imageleet is telling us that the cpu is maxed out by the ffmpeg processes in the queue. I have the max file size set to 400mb in JomSocial, and php.ini says 500mb. Imageleet sent me this reply, but I'm confused as to how we can have file sizes like that if the maximums are set well below that? Please help! We need video upload on our site.

Thanks,

Hi Scott ,

Thank you for reporting, we are discussing this issue right now.. and I hope we will get the solution then.

This is the temp solution, please you edit this file components/com_community/libraries/videos.php, find this :

foreach ($videos as $video) {

$q = 0;
foreach ($videos as $video) {
if($q>=1) break;
$q++;

OH ya another solution, you can try use zencoder documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/ZenCode...mazon_S3_Integration

Thank you for the reply- is this normal? Or is there something wrong in settings or something?

This is normal and something happens for converting the large files, but if you convert the small video files I think this issue won't be happened..
We have plan and improvment for this issue in the future

1) What about this from the host: "Please provide me joomla login so that i can review encoding commands further, jomsocial default command seem to be creating very large video files and re-encoding mp4 files which can be played without encoding. Perhaps it can save some CPU."

I see there are some files over 1GB! How does that happen when I have the max file size set at 400mb?

2) Also, would Zencoder completely eliminate this problem with slowing our server?

1. You can provide the login and FTP to the host, maybe they can help you and can share with us.. I am not sure how 1GB can be uploaded, please you check again the setting.. I cant test the 1GB issue, I will get some problem if upload very large file :D

2. Zencoder is coming from amazon S3 server, it wont effect too much with your server.
