[Plugin: Cool Video Gallery] thumbnail creation how

    Hi there – I do not see how to tell the plugin to make thumbnail images from video. I have tried uploaded through the cool video backend which works fine, and I have added videos through ftp to the folder, and it scans the folder to add the video to the gallery – but there is no thumbnail or image created.
    Is there a button somewhere to click to tell it to make the thumbnail?
    I have ffmpeg, and I have changed folder permissions to 777

    /wp-content/uploads/video-gallery/gallery-name-one
    (777)
    /wp-content/uploads/video-gallery/gallery-name-one/thumbs/
    (777)
    * Operating System : FreeBSD (64 Bit)
    * Server : Apache
    * MySQL Version : 5.0.92
    * PHP Version : 5.2.16
    * PHP Max Upload Size : 200M
    * FFMPEG : Installed

    I think your plugin may be one of the best of all time once it can do just a little bit more.
    Is there something else I am missing?

    Hi,

    I would like to know whether you are able to upload preview image manually? If FFMPEG is installed it will be generated automatically.

    Thanks

    Does the gallery look for a specific path for ffmpg? I know it is installed on my server, but CVG says it isn’t.

    Hi,

    ffmpeg installation is found using the man command of LINUX.

    The library is taken from the path /usr/bin/ffmpeg.

    Thanks

    I had my host install ffmpeg. They tell me “it’s at /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg however /usr/bin/ffmpeg is linked to it so will work as well”. However, when I upload videos, I still do not get the thumbs and have to manually upload pictures via FTP as the edit preview image/upload image doesn’t work either. Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    Please try changing the path in cool-video-gallery/lib/core.php function create_thumbnail_video to your ffmpeg path.

    Thanks

    Please try the video gallery with a fresh download from WordPress site.

    Thanks

    Hi Praveen,

    I reinstalled a fresh download (even though I already had version 1.3 installed) and it still indicates there is no ffmpeg. I’ll try to change the core.php path and let you know if that works in a few minutes.

    I changed the path on line 451 to read $command = "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg and in overview, it still says FFMPEG : Not Installed.

    Hi Benoit,

    Please try uploading a video. That message is shown in admin panel using the man command of LINUX

    Just uploaded a video and it shows the default thumb. I then tried to upload an image through the plugin, and it does not work either. I get no error message, and no image uploads. For the galleries I have up so far, I have had to upload images manually, using ftp.

    just did a check using the ‘which ffmpeg’ in command line and it returned the path /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg, so I don’t understand why the plugin cannot find it.

    Hi

    Please try the command man ffmpeg in your command line and check if ffmpeg is installed with necessary support for thumbnail generation.

    Thanks

    OK, did just that and it returns ‘No manual entry for ffmpeg’ so what should I ask my provider for exactly?

    Hi,

    Try this command instead at command line ffmpeg and see the different options for FFMPEG.

    Is GD for images supported in your webserver? May I know your WordPress Version?
