XFMG (Video thumbnail)

[JoyFreak]

I have noticed when uploading a video, a thumbnail is not automatically generated and one must upload one manually. Is there a way this can automatically be done, with a random thumbnail from the video set, sort of like YouTube? As I can see my members being lazy and uploading the video and not setting a thumbnail manually. If loads of members decide to upload videos, it will leave the XFMG index page looking dull without any thumbnails at all!

@Chris D I installed it, but where can I not find its way on the server?

 

[Chris D]

If you type which ffmpeg it will tell you the full path.

/usr/bin/ffmpeg

thank you so much my friend

 

[Baby Community]

Why was this error caused?

 

[Chris D]

This is a server configuration matter. Essentially your PHP configuration does not allow scripts to access files outside of specified locations. You may need to see if you can whitelist that file specifically.

 

[Baby Community]

yes you are right I have added a protocol for server security to php. Last night. In the protocol, I restricted inter-unit access on the server.

 

[Baby Community]

I'd better remove that protocol.

 

[Baby Community]

Something came to my mind.

 

[Baby Community]

wonder if

include_path =".:/usr/bin/ffmpeg"

 

[Baby Community]

I will achieve this .. But I am also open to your help. Please help
What did I not do?

I couldn't find the position I should add in the php.ini settings. @Chris D

I have a request for resources on this subject. If he wants to help, I will solve it. Please

If there was ever a good reason for an auto-merge feature, it would be for the above.

 

[Baby Community]

I am sorry for the excess messages, but the problems are handled this way. @btmgreg

I installed ffmpeg. But it only comes out in php 5.6 and above. I could not bring this support to PHP 7.4.6. I will make one last try. I hope I will not spoil the server.

If you’re talking about the FFmpeg extension for PHP then that isn’t required because our approach calls FFmpeg directly. It looks like you already did that successfully.

If you’re still struggling with the open_basedir thing you just need to resolve that and that’s it.

Thank you very much ... You have helped me at least I have solved all the things. But as you still guess .. I'm struggling with Php.ini. I tried a lot ... I even broke a server. I ran the server again

; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the defined directory; and below.  This directive makes most sense if used in a per-directory; or per-virtualhost web server configuration file.; http://php.net/open-basedir;open_basedir =

This is the change I need to make. At php.ini but what I wrote did not work ..

; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the defined directory
; and below.  This directive makes most sense if used in a per-directory
; or per-virtualhost web server configuration file.
; Note: disables the realpath cache
; http://php.net/open-basedir
open_basedir = /usr/bin/ffmpeg

this is what i do but it still doesn't happen
