Andy and Datakid,



Datakid, I have mencoder installed if that is what you mean. The documentation indytube readme  says that
"Mencoder, the Mplayer video encoder/decoder swiss army knife.
This is better than ffmpeg because it is designed to handle
any proprietary cruft that your users throw at it."

Andy, I am not converting to .flv at all. My log file tells me
2008-08-22 08:51:21,861 INFO Starting indytube... in /opt/Plone-2.5.5/zeocluster/client1/var/files/Members/jagaworktest/videos

2008-08-22 08:51:22,645 INFO FLV file size is zero - assuming encoding failed! Permanently skipping file!


I also have /usr/bin/ffmpeg2theora  installed ,because it was in the original indytube.conf file so I figured I needed it also. I tried taking it out of the conf file and recieved errors looking  for it when I started indytube.
If this section is only for generating .ogg and I shouldnt be using .ogg only .flv why cant I remove it from the .conf?

As I said stated in the last mail, when running the mencoder command that is generated by indytube.py I get no output at all on the command line when I run it manually.I got the command line from the logfile below. the "using cmd" section.

2008-08-22 08:51:21,861 INFO Starting indytube... in /opt/Plone-2.5.5/zeocluster/client1/var/files/Members/jagaworktest/videos

I decided to try to run it manually without some of the flags to see if I could get any output at all from mencoder.

The command I got to run manually was:

 sudo /usr/bin/mencoder /opt/Plone-2.5.5/zeocluster/client1/var/files/Members/jagaworktest/videos/ginnietop.wmv -o /var/www/plumi-flv-files/jagaworktest/videos/ginnietop.flv  -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:keyint=50:vbitrate=150:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -vf scale=320:240 -srate 22050

So to sum up:
1) Do I need ffmpeg ?

2) Why is the default indytube.conf and indytube.py creating a .ogg if I am not using them and how can I stopp this.

3) Why do I get no output at all using the mencoder command generated by indytube.py


Below is my indytube.conf, does anything look out of wack in it?
