    Hi Maurice,
    Thank you for the question.

    Local transcoder does not care about the location of FFMPEG. We do not use the complete path of executable. we assume that when we run ffmpeg from the commandline it work.

    Please make sure shell_exec() works on your server as we use it for determining the existence of the FFMPEG binary.

    ok i have check the shell_exec and exec is not disable …
    is for the local transcoder the install of php-ffmpeg necessary?

    or can you short discribe, what else do you have to do besides installing ffmpeg on the server?

    Hi Maurice,
    Is there any chance you are using it on Ubuntu and the ffmpeg was installed via snap?

    We do not need php-ffmpeg package. We execute the actual binary using shell_exec.

    i have centos 7

    this i make for install:

    SSH to your server and download the script
    # wget https://github.com/SSS015/muniments/archive/master.zip
    2. Extract zip file and type “cd” command go to “muniments-master” directory
    # unzip master.zip
    # cd muniments-master
    3. To unpack a tar file using below command.
    # tar -xvf file.tar
    4. Execute the bash script
    # bash install.sh
    5. After complete the installtion and run it below command and check what the latest version is
    # ffmpeg -version

    then in php.ini: disable_functions = “show_source, system”. (remove shell_exec, exec)

    other plugins can use ffmpeg in wordpress ??

    cu, maurice.

    Hi Maurice,
    I am sorry but I am not sure what is the issue here. If other plugins are able to use FFMpeg, so should the Local Transcoder.

    I will suggest uploading a video and trying to convert it/re queue it and then check that video’s file directory. Do you see any error file generated there.

    If yes, please share the content.
