    Hi there – I do not see how to tell the plugin to make thumbnail images from video. I have tried uploaded through the cool video backend which works fine, and I have added videos through ftp to the folder, and it scans the folder to add the video to the gallery – but there is no thumbnail or image created.
    Is there a button somewhere to click to tell it to make the thumbnail?
    I have ffmpeg, and I have changed folder permissions to 777

    /wp-content/uploads/video-gallery/gallery-name-one
    (777)
    /wp-content/uploads/video-gallery/gallery-name-one/thumbs/
    (777)
    * Operating System : FreeBSD (64 Bit)
    * Server : Apache
    * MySQL Version : 5.0.92
    * PHP Version : 5.2.16
    * PHP Max Upload Size : 200M
    * FFMPEG : Installed

    I think your plugin may be one of the best of all time once it can do just a little bit more.
    Is there something else I am missing?

  • Just a follow up (think you just dropped digging in this issue). Upgraded to wp 3.1 and the issue remains. I still have to manually upload thumbs even though ffmpeg IS present.

    Is your WordPress English version? Are you able to upload thumbnails from gallery details page? I’m working on the FFMPEG path issue. Will let you know as soon as i find a fix for it.

    Thanks

    Praveen,
    I have a similar issue except it is on a Windows 2008 server running XAMPP

    Operating System : WINNT (32 Bit)
    Server : Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8o PHP/5.3.4 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1
    MySQL Version : 5.5.8
    PHP Version : 5.3.5
    PHP Max Upload Size : 32MB
    FFMPEG : Installed

    I am able to upload video, but does not automatically create thumb nail. I can manually upload a PNG file and it displays it. I have tried to modify the line
    $options[‘cvg_ffmpegpath’]= ‘/usr/bin/ffmpeg’

    I have tried the following paths:
    ‘d:\xampp\ffmpeg’
    ‘/xampp/ffmpeg’
    ‘c:\windows\system32’
    ‘wp-content/uploads/video-gallery/ffmpeg’
    where ffmpeg directory contains ffmpeg.exe

    I am able run it manually from server with command
    ffmpeg -i intro.mp4 … to create multiple .png files

    Is there anything that I am missing? Please help with this auto feature. Thank you Praveen. It is a cool plugin.

    Could you try clearing the FFMPEG path in settings page and save the details. Since you’ve mentioned that running it manually works for you and the command is ffmpeg -i intro.mp4 ... to create multiple .png files, so i guess path is not required in this case.

    Thanks

    has there been a solution to this problem? I also have ffmpeg installed and am getting a message on the overview page that it is not installed

    I am having this same problem, my other sites recognize ffmpeg, but this plug in doesnt. ?? I would really like this feature.

    Same problem here. FFMPEG is installed and available at /usr/bin/ffmpeg but this plugin does not find it.

    I am having the same exact issue; no automatic creation of thumbnails eventhough ffmpeg has been installed on server.

    everything is good until i try to upload thumbnail manually. all i get is a darkened screen. please help. thanks.
