    I have FFMPEG installed on my server, but I get a message that says:

    “EXEC is disabled in PHP settings. You can embed existing videos and make thumbnails with compatible browsers, but video encoding will not work. Contact your System Administrator to find out if you can enable EXEC.”

    I don’t really need the video encoding, just the automatic thumbnail generation, which I have not yet gotten to work. I can go in manually and generate thumbnails in each individual video file, but the automatic part doesn’t function for me yet. Does the error message indicate something that would conflict with automatic thumbnail generation?

    Yes, you need FFMPEG and a way for PHP to execute it in order to do automatic thumbnail creation. If the EXEC command is disabled in PHP, the plugin will not be able to automatically generate thumbnails.

    Ok, I got that enabled and the plugin is working as advertised. Thanks!
