Hello there,
I installed video module on my Drupal 6, And I m sure I have everything working Drupal, FFMPEG!! And I believe I configured video module in right way, set up ffmpeg paths in those two php files as well in video configuration of ffmpeg_helper module.
I uploaded video wmv.. and then it just display "This video is currently being processed. Please wait."... I also ran cron... nothing happened.. what this message is??? I think there is no debug information is there to track this..
Any help greatly appreciated!!!!

sajalsoni commentedHello,
Here is the scenario.
1) I downloaded your beta2. And installed.
2) Now I upload a .mov or say .avi video using Video -> Upload video.
3) After content is saved, it still shows me "This video is currently being processed. Please wait.". Do I need any extra config?
4) Now when I edit that node again, and save it. Then it come up with FlowPlayer in node view. But Again when I checked what is the src of FlowPlayer, it show me the original file I uploaded (3gp or mov), which I think should not be there, instead of that there should be path of newly converted flash.
5) I dont see anywhere video is converted to flv, is that really?
So overall Correct behaviour should be like, when I upload new video it should be converted on d fly to FLV and display that flash in next page right away, Am I correct on this?
Thanks,
Sajal

sadist commentedhi there,
like the rest, i am also sure that i had already set and followed the instruction carefully.
installed the module, configure the path in both the 2 php files, run a cron job.
i tried beta2 and even the current 6.x-2.x-dev version. anything else that i missed? thanks for your great module, this is very important to me.
Comment #8

Comment #12
taalaibek commentedI am getting this error after uploading a video file. I have setup this module as described in the documentation. Is this still a bug?
Video submission queued for processing. Please wait: our servers are preparing your video for web displaying.
This video is currently being processed. Please wait.
Comment #13
hypertext200You need to set up a cron tasks for video_scheduler.php, copy or symlink then yo Drupal installed folder (where index.php exists) and set up cron tasks.

rachawal commentedI've installed Drupal, installed and configured the required modules, configured ffmpeg, uploaded the (.flv) video, ran cron, and still I'm getting the "This video is currently being processed. Please wait." message. I followed the detailed instructions at (http://video.heidisoft.com/content/configuring-video-module), and I'm getting nowhere. I'm very concerned about the lack of troubleshooting information available for issues like this. I don't know what to do or where to turn in order to get this resolved...
Comment #18
hypertext200run video_scheduler.php and see logs. then you can easily troubleshoot.
Comment #19
rachawal commentedLogs of are of no use. No errors reported in the watchdog database.
Comment #20
hypertext200@rachawal , did you symlink video_scheduler.php and video_render.php then run via command line, as normally run in cron, then see the log, there should be video_scheduler type of logs.

I tried to load the file www.mysite.com/video_scheduler.php and got that error. I put the scheduler and render files in the root with the drupal install. Still says video is processing after 30min and I set a cron job to run every 20min.
Comment #22
hypertext200If you r having above issue, then it seems you do not properly configure your video_scheduler.php file :) check for the instructions
Comment #23
jrivelli commentedWhere are the instructions? I am so lost in trying to figure this module out I am not sure where anything is anymore. Seems like a great module still!
Comment #24
hypertext200See the module page. http://video.heidisoft.com/
Comment #25
jrivelli commentedI am currently reading all that. It all makes sense except for the guide http://wiki.xushi.co.uk/index.php?title=Installing_FFMPEG_in_public_hosts . I dont have centos, ubuntu or any of that. I am using godaddy as my host on linux. I just have beenusing standard FTP access with dreamweaver to upload all my files.
Comment #26
hypertext200Yes, you can ask from them to install FFMPEG, otherwise have to use without transcode
Comment #27
jrivelli commentedAlright thanks. I will ask godaddy to install it for me
Comment #28
jrivelli commentedGodaddy says they cannot install it for me. Seems I am out of luck. I wish there was better documentation on this seeing as it is a Drupal module, but oh well.
Comment #29
DTR commentedI am stuck with "This video is currently being processed. Please wait."
I did symlink video_scheduler.php and video_render.php to the drupal root and set the correct path to bootstrap.inc and ffmpeg.
When I run video_scheduler.php and video_render.php with php command nothing happens.
Also there is no video_scheduler type of logs in my dblog.
Now what?
Comment #30
hypertext200@DTR It seems your not correctly set up video_scheduler.php cron jobs, please go through the guide. You do not want to set up a cron job for video_render.php, you need it to symlink to root.
Comment #31
DTR commentedThat doesn't work either.
Comment #32
DTR commentedIt worked when i set the cronjob in webmin, but why the flv file is 5 times bigger then the original mp4 and it plays only in preview mode with flowplayer?
Comment #33
jrivelli commentedI must say it seems this module is helpful and works here and there, but not well enough to be out of dev phase at all.
Comment #34
hypertext200There is no such a issue closing this, or provide me relevant informations.
Comment #35
rocky27 commentedhey heshanmw you just go through this link it will definatly provide you relevent information
http://wiki.xushi.co.uk/index.php?title=Installing_FFMPEG_in_public_hosts
Comment #36
sadist commentedSorry, but I don't see any relevant between that site and what is being the issue here.
Comment #37
mrgoltra commentedI have installed and configured this module carefully, videos are converting to flv and thumnails are being created. I am not getting any log entries but my cron is getting this.
PHP Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in /hsphere/local/home/mydomain.com/video_scheduler.php on line 137
which is this _video_render_get_converted_file(&$job);

Any ideas anyone?
Thank you,

Comment #38
hypertext200What is the PHP version your using? If it is 5.3 then that is the problem. PHP 5.3 is not bacword compatible and we need to modify our code.
Comment #39
verta commentedHow do you set up the cron jobs if you have a Windows server? Should I copy video_scheduler.php to the Drupal root?
I know I have FFMpeg installed because I am getting the thumbnails, but my videos never convert.
Edit:
I have done this
1) put the video_scheduler.php in root directory
and
2) insert
include_once './video_scheduler.php';
into cron.php
and run cron but videos do not convert. Where should I look for logs, temp files, converted videos, etc?
Comment #40
hypertext200look at logs, then you can debug the module on windows
Comment #41
verta commentedThanks for the help - I am getting nothing in the Drupal log other than a normal cron run. I can modify cron.php and video_scheduler.php - BUT I don't know what to put in those files to make cron run the video scheduler.
I think that is what is not happening - cron is not running the video scheduler. I am not a PHP programmer, but I can run a text editor. This is a pretty big hole in the docs - you have to run the video scheduler if you're going to get videos converted, right?
If I could get a short series of steps, that would really help.
