Once I enable this module I get the following error on the top of everypage:

warning: dl() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/vshedcouk/GMJU20P3/vshed/modules/flashvideo/flashvideo.module on line 16.

I have tried allowing the dl() function in a .htaccess php.ini file, but no joy.
I have not tried the module for all the features that work, or dont in this case, so I want to know if this feature is required, or if i can work around it somehow.
Thanks

Same here so subscribing.

This message is being caused because I am trying to load the FFMPEG-PHP binary (which is different than FFMPEG). It is not essential that this binary is installed to make this module work. I only use this binary to extract the width and height of the uploaded video to use in case the conversion fails. I will work on some updates for this module this weekend and fix some of these problems.

Thanks,

Travis.

Try the new release and see if this fixes your problem. You will have to unload and reload the module.

Hi,

I have flashvideo.module v 1.73.2.114 2009/10/21 01:05:11
In the file there is dl($extension_soname);
The friggin php 5.3.1. doesn't allow the dl function (even though i enabled it in php.ini).
On the PHP site there is some bullhickey about using extension loading directives (extension string), but no examples.
So finally I am appealing to you, could you please help me make the needed changes?

All the best,

Dime Nastov
