youvue Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hello, I was wondering if FFMpeg and FFMprobe could be enabled on my account? I read somewhere that it is enabled for Tommy servers and my website is on Tommy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 What version of php do you need it enabled on? Also, be aware that using ffmpeg has been historically known to cause high load suspensions. Converting videos uses a massive amount of resources, which slows everyone else's site down. Use too many and you'll end up suspended for load. We generally recommend not doing video conversion here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krydos Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I don't know what you mean by enable? They are both executable files on the system located at# which ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg # ffmpeg -version ffmpeg version 2.8.15 Copyright (c) 2000-2018 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 4.8.5 (GCC) 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-28) # which ffprobe /usr/bin/ffprobe # ffprobe -version ffprobe version 2.8.15 Copyright (c) 2007-2018 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 4.8.5 (GCC) 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-28) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krydos Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 At https://clipbucket.com/docs/clipbucket-installation/ it says 2. PHP with Background Processing and Exec EnabledThat probably means it's trying to use the php function exec() which is disabled for security reasons on shared hosting plans. Perhaps a VPS would be a better way to host this site because you'd be able to use exec() https://www.heliohost.org/vps/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
