Hi Tom,

FFMPEG must installed at your server, and you need to put the path at jomsocial video setting, and need to execute cronjob for trigger video converting process .



here the doc.
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Video_L..._Upload_Requirements

make sure you using latest FFMPEG version:
www.ffmpeg.org/

you can asking your server support for more assistance about ffmpeg installation

Hi Albertus,

Yes, I know about that where you put in ??? FFMPEG are installed and I have contacted my host about this. But why are cronjob showing 1500? The url you asked me to look at doesnt' exist. Look at the screenshot.

Hi Albertus,

I checked up with my host and I Think it should be right from what I got to know from them, but I'll test. Another question is why it send a message to everyone when I did try to upload? I guess it is a setting in profile that each and one have to be set by them self (notifications?)

Hi Albertus,
After I checked with my host, I got the following paths as I wrote in there, and this was:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg
/usr-bin/flvtool2

Thats why I don't understand what I still are doing wrong. Do I need to run Cron from the videosettings/videos in admin? I'm totally lost :)
i noticed videos didn't convert as it should, but just told me I should wait for a message about processing which never came.

Hi Albertus,

I have written to my hosting provider. Btw, in 4.0.6 the privacy of Groups, photos and albums are not fixed.

Of course it doesn't work after installing to the latest version done by my hosting provider.

Hi Tom,

please check it:
videos converted successfully



the FFMPEG path changed to /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

seem your hosting forget to inform it.

and about privacy of Groups, please give the link for that topic.

Hi Albertus,

I see, but for me it did not convert at all after that my hosting provider installed the latest one. It just said pending for some reason. I just wonder...how could it convert for you?

Regarding to the privacy of Groups, that seem to have been fixed.

Hi Tom.

here the logic:
1. user upload video
2. the video will on pending list
3. must execute cronjob, and videos will be converted at cronjob
4. users can see it at videos list

I uploaded 2 test videos, and all videos converted. you can see it at jomsocial backend > videos > all video

FYI:
