Hi,
I hope someone can help me out. I recently discovered the fabulous VideoJS plugin... all playback works fine except for generating posters...
I installed FFMPEG and tried it via CMD which generates the poster like expected.
FFMPEG was also added to PATH, so far so good...
However when I sync I get tons of these messages:
Error poster running ffmpeg, try it manually:
ffmpeg -itsoffset -4 -i ./galleries/Misc/2014/April/MVI_3456.MP4 -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -y ./galleries/Misc/2014/April/pwg_representative/MVI_3456.jpg
I have a feeling it has something to do with the path the plugin is using...
Do I need to install FFMPEG in a particular location? Any troubleshooting tips would be very welcome, I would love to get it up and running.
I also did notice this error message at the top of each playing video: Warning: strpos(): Offset not contained in string in D:\03. SERVER\01. HTTP\fotoalbum\include\functions_url.inc.php on line 765
Thank you

Hello,
Cannot say I'm a bit disappointed in the Piwigo community support... but okay... let me share my findings:
I managed to fix the issue more or less. It was indeed a path issue, for some reason FFMPEG.EXE could not be located via PHP even though the path was added to Windows (working via CMD) and added in php.ini
So I ended up hard coding the full path in the plugin and append the images file path from the DB after having removed ./
It was also needed to swap ' with " in the $ffmpeg variable to avoid to invalid parameters
I know it sucks but for now it works...
Still I'm hoping someone can explain to me why PHP cannot acces FFMPEG (located in C:\FFMPEG\BIN) and why I have to use the full path to the pictures as well. Why is ./galleries/... not working? I don't wan't to leave it this way :-)
Hope someone can shed some light on it.
With best regards,

Hello,
Sorry for the delay.
I added a new option to specify FFMPEG and MediaInfo patch . Hope this help.
By default the filename must without space. I update the code to support file with special and space character.
I hope to release this new version by this weekend.
To answer the fact that you PHP install can not access the real FFMPEG.
I can be from multiple source,
Do you add C:\FFMPEG\BIN in your ENV path?
Does C:\FFMPEG is readable by any users on the System?
Regarding the full patch, not sure I understand.
You should not normal upload process should work.
Feedback are welcome so I can update the documentation.
