Hi,
Please download the plugin from here.

1. Make sure you are atleast on VPS and have ffmpeg installed
2. https://buddydev.com/downloads/mpplt-local-transcoder/versions/mpp-local-transcoder-1-0-0.zip

3. For better performance, I will recommend configuring wp cron using crontab.

How it works:-
Currently, the functionality is simple. When you upload a video, it gets added to the queue. You can see the Queue from the backend.

The cron job converts the video to mp4 and updates the queue/media entry. Since the cron job is scheduled at 1 minute interval, you may feel a little delay(2-3 minutes) between the enqueuing and the actual conversion.

Currently, we do not show the status on front end(You can see it in the backend though). In future, we may do that.

I don’t see much scope for the plugin as using a local transcoder will not work for sites with high video upload rate. This will work fine for the low/medium(say 500 video uploads per day) site.

Configuring Cron Job on linux.
1. Edit wp-config and put this line

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

It will stop WordPress from spawning cron.

2. Now, you can use crontab -e to edit the crontab and add a new entry. Add the entry like

* * * * * wget -q -O - http://yoursite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron

Please replace yoursite.com with the actual site url.

Save it.

restart cron

sudo service cron restart

And it should start working.

Thank you. That makes sense. I should have been a bit more careful as you had mentioned the plugin in the very first post. I still missed it somehow.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sorry, I did not check with the enhanced member card. The above code won’t work with it.

Please allow me to test the plugin today/tomorrow and see if they are providing some hook to add extra.

Thank you

Hi Jon,
Welcome to BuddyDev.

You can change this line

$bp_title['title'] = $bp_title['title'] . ': ' . $type_object->labels['singular_name'] ;

to

$bp_title['title'] =  $type_object->labels['singular_name'] ;

That will do it.

Thank you for considering the member type generator and pro. yes, It will work for both.

Hi,
Just updating. The first version will be available in next few hours. I am able to convert mov, flv, mkv and compress mp4 for web.

I still have issues with avi. Looking at other formats too but most probably, I will be only using the above 4 for the first release.

PS:- You will need to install FFMPEG on your server to get it working.
