Re: Videojs - Thumbnails and Mediainfo Problem
VideoJS is the automatic mode require FFMPEG and MediaInfo to be install.
The reason is simple, there is no PHP library to manipulate H264 video file.
MediaInfo, You can import all metadata manually by editing the table via PHPMyAdmin for example.
FFMPEG, You can generate the thumbnail and poster on your system and upload them to you galleries.
The command used to generate get the correct are on the wiki, https://github.com/xbgmsharp/piwigo-vid … equirement
Now if you want to use automatic mode, here are a few question to guide you in the process?
Do you have root access?
If so install the program as describe in the wiki, https://github.com/xbgmsharp/piwigo-vid … equirement
If not, Which distribution? Debian/CentOs, eg: lsb_realease -a
Which architecture? 32/64, eg: uname -a
Then you can read this to give you though the manual install. It is for advanced Linux users.

Re: Videojs - Thumbnails and Mediainfo Problem
When videos have the 'rotation' flag set (IE: iPhone in portrait mode) - the auto thumbnail generation displays the thumbnail in the wrong aspect ratio.
If I create a thumbnail and rotate it properly myself, when the video window is shown, it rotates the image incorrectly as well...
I'm not sure what work could be done to correct the behavior, but it's a tad annoying.
Thanks!

Re: Videojs - Thumbnails and Mediainfo Problem
Hey,
@jnashpiwigo, seen you found a bug.
However this is a complete different subject. It would be better to create a new thread or even better a new issue in GitHub.
If the video is in portrait mode, then the poster is created in portrait mode.
If you really refer to the thumbnails, then they will also be created in portrait mode.
As the video is in portrait mode, you need to activate the ZoomRotate VideoJS plugin.
It will rotate the video and the poster when display the picture page to play the video.
As for the thumbnails, it seen they are not rotate, which seen to be the bug.
Note that the rotation only work when HTML5 player element is used and not when the flash player is used.
You can find more information about the plugin on the wiki.
