php - How to setup ffmpeg for CentOS release 6.5 server

Question

I need to create a screen shot from video,

I have followed this tutorial to do the intial setup in window 8, php 5.3

1) I downloaded the ffmpeg from here -[ http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ ] for 64 bit operating system.

2) I followed the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU49GiWGGAI , video and did all configuration successfully and phpinfo() shows that ffmpeg has been installed.

3) Then I tried this to find out whether it is working or not,

It worked successfully

4) Next I followed this video tutorial here and thumbnails were created successfully.

below is my code

/**
 * FFMPEG-PHP Test Script
 *
 * Special thanks to http://www.sajithmr.me/ffmpeg-sample-code for this code example!
 * See the tutorial at http://myownhomeserver.com on how to install ffmpeg-php.
 */
error_reporting(1);
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
// Check if the ffmpeg-php extension is loaded first
extension_loaded('ffmpeg') or die('Error in loading ffmpeg');

// Determine the full path for our video
$vid = realpath('./videos/myvideo.mp4');
$videosize = filesize($vid);
$remoteVideo = 'http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4';

//ffmpeg

$ffmpeg = dirname(__FILE__) . "\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg";
$imageFile = "1.png";
$image2 = "2.png";
$size = "120x90";
$getfromsecond = 7;
$cmd = "$ffmpeg -i $vid -an -ss $getfromsecond -s $size $imageFile";
$cmd2 = "$ffmpeg -i $remoteVideo -an -ss $getfromsecond -s $size $image2";
if(!shell_exec($cmd)){
    echo "Thumbnail created";
}else{
    echo "Error Creating thumbnail";
}

if(!shell_exec($cmd2)){
    echo "Thumbnail for remote url was created";
}else{
    echo "Error Creating thumbnail for remote url ";
}

---

  OUTPUT
    Thumbnail created
    Thumbnail for remote url was created

Now above code works as expected in my local, in window machine , I need to do it in my server environment(Linux server) with php 5.5. How do I do the configuration for ffmpeg in CentOS release 6.5 server with php 5.5.

I have followed this tutorial to install it in server

But in server when I open my php file I am getting this error Error in loading ffmpeg

Also I have checked phpinfo(), It shows ffmpeg installed in my local but not in server.

What else I need to do to configure ffmpeg in Cent Os 6.5 php 5.5.

Answer 1

I could not find your installation steps or commands, You need to configure with ffmpeg-php,

#  git clone https://github.com/tony2001/ffmpeg-php.git
#  cd ffmpeg-php
#  make clean
#  phpize 
#  ./configure 
#  make
#  make install

# vim /usr/lib/php.ini 
[ffmpeg]
extension=ffmpeg.so

# pkill -9 httpd
#  /etc/init.d/httpd start

# php -i|grep ffmpeg

ffmpeg
ffmpeg-php version => 0.7.0
