Very large files 00:00 timecode.

[EduCatOR]

So basically the situation is that large uploads convert and get posted to the site fine, however the thumbnail always ends up being black, and the time code says 00:00. It's really 1 hour and 47 minutes long, so I'm guess this could be what messes it up. Figured I would ask though.

Anyone ever come across this problem?

Take care

This is what it says, not real sure what to make out of it:

whats the site url

[EduCatOR]

Just wanted to follow up with this a bit. From what I notice, this happens to some files that have a time code that extends past 00:00. (four places) Not sure if this is on my end or not. With these same videos I seem to have problems with pseudo-streaming as well.

[frankie]

it happens because the the video length was not found;

/usr/bin/flvtool2 -UP /home/discgolf/public_html/uploads/PXNQ20AoJokZclNGShzQ.flv | grep duration

OUTPUT - FLVTOOL2 - check - Video Duration = 0

so i would guess it is a non supported codec, probly h264 and since
you have not updated the convertor you do not get a conversion error.

[EduCatOR]

I take it I would have to have a convertor update in order to support h264? Thanks for your help frankie...

[frankie]

actually the server needs a different setup, ffmpeg

who is this host?

[EduCatOR]

 Would you like his e-mail?? I can also forward any information to him.

[frankie]

have him update ffmpeg

[EduCatOR]

Well, we updated ffmpeg to the latest (0.6 I believe) and I'm still getting the same thing. I just don't understand it, not sure where to go from here. This is what I got from the convertor.php log:

I've been reading that I can add "-r ntsc" to the ffmpeg command line to stop this, maybe this is the problem? Would I add this to the convertor.php file?

Thank you frankie for your time.

[EduCatOR]

I believe most of these files that are not working are either Xvid or DivX...

:edit: I still think it has to do with the length of the files. The shorter ones still seem to work fine. Size does not seem to be an issue I don't think.

[frankie]

there is nothing i can suggest since you will not run the new convertor file

[EduCatOR]

I added the newer convertor so I'll just cross my fingers and hope that it works...

[EduCatOR]

Ok so with the newer convertor.php the large files don't show up at all. Here's what I got in the convertor log:
