Duh..

I needed to convert the ownership of the videos to apache before it would work.

Thanks Anyway.

FFmpeg version SVN-r21080
ffmpeg-php-0.6.0

My tests:

I can make a still using ffmpeg at the command line.
I can use php gdimage to make an image.
OK!

But using ffmpeg-php I can not get an image using this:

$frame = $movie->getFrame(105); //returns Object id #3
$im = $frame->toGDImage(); //returns Resource id #4

Looks like it’s working, but does not produce any image file.

Advise?

Thanks!

This bug has bitten me several times now. Debian’s ffmpeg-php package has patched it, but Gentoo’s package hasn’t.

I’m amazed upstream hasn’t released an updated version yet.
