Sometime video path gets wrong

  • Hi,

    this plugin is working fine for my site, generating encoded videos but for some video it failed and show this error when try to encode:

    /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads/https://zzzz.com/wp-content/uploads/user_uploads/jay2016/me_shooting_bow.mp4: No such file or directory

    You see in path it’s using site URL after uploads/, is this? normal? Why mostly videos are encoded fine but some won’t?

    Please help.

    That is definitely not normal. You appear to have a plugin that modifies the location of your upload directory. It’s difficult to say why this is happening, but I would start with that. If you can identify a pattern with the videos that have the error that would be really useful. Is it only a problem with videos in a particular folder or with a particular file name? Is it a consistent error with user uploaded files? Using phpmyadmin or similar can you take a look at the _wp_attached_file post_meta database entry for a video that’s giving you this error? It should have a relative path like user_uploads/jay2016/me_shooting_bow.mp4 rather than the full URL. If it has a full URL like https://zzzz.com/wp-content/uploads/user_uploads/jay2016/me_shooting_bow.mp4 that would explain the error and it’s caused by the user upload plugin entering the wrong information for that meta value.
