Re: Does ffmpeg adapter need ffmpeg-php extension or is ffmpeg sufficient?
just wanted to add the info for interested people that they might consider the perl module ffmpeg-perl (http://search.cpan.org/~ALLENDAY/ FFmpeg-6036/FFmpeg.pm) as an alternative to ffmpeg-php.

Oh that's great to hear! As for interfacing with the ffmpeg binary you may want to have a look into the ImagickShell adapter[1] which comes with the plugin for a working example. Regarding the (blocking) on the fly manipulation, I've been using (as cricket pointed out) a queue for spinning the task off to workers. My favourite queue server is beanstalkd which I also wrote a plugin for. - David [1] http://github.com/davidpersson/media/blob/1.3/vendors/media/adapter/imagick_shell.php On 21 Jan., 19:11, Deine Mutter wrote: > okay, i'll look into it, since i am in need of a working adapter. it > might however take some time since my personal resources are scarce as > well. > > besides, have you ever considered implementing a built-in > functionality that outsources the version generation of uploaded media > to a cron job? a basic setup would probably be rather simple, just > marking respective data sets in the table as "todo" or sth alike and > treating them as nonexistent in the application as long as they're in > this state. it just occurs to me, because especially video > manipulation shouldn't be something you do on the fly.

Re: Does ffmpeg adapter need ffmpeg-php extension or is ffmpeg sufficient?
okay, i'll look into it, since i am in need of a working adapter. it might however take some time since my personal resources are scarce as well. besides, have you ever considered implementing a built-in functionality that outsources the version generation of uploaded media to a cron job? a basic setup would probably be rather simple, just marking respective data sets in the table as "todo" or sth alike and treating them as nonexistent in the application as long as they're in this state. it just occurs to me, because especially video manipulation shouldn't be something you do on the fly.

Since the extension itself does only support reading meta data from the files is also by times useless when it comes to actual manipulation of the videos. Because I can't run the tests for it and the reasons I've given above the adapter is going to be deprecated and removed later from version 1.3 of the plugin. I see an adapter using - as you've suggested - the ffmpeg binary directly as the solution to a new ffmpeg video adapter. But due to the lack of resources (and just because I personally I'm not in the need of one) I won't provide an implementation of it. If you're up to writing a working adapter for ffmpeg possibly supporting just a subset of the tons of ffmpeg's features and switches for the beginning, I'd be glad to merge it into the plugin. Anyway, thank you for putting that topic up for discussion, - David Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Does ffmpeg adapter need ffmpeg-php extension or is ffmpeg sufficient?
okay the answer is clear, it needs ffmpeg extension. this is stupid for the following reasons: if ffmpeg is compiled with libswscale, the image extraction method of ffmpeg-php (ffmpeg.so) is not available (as written somewhere in the respective google group). starting at one of the newer releases of ffmpeg, the option to compile ffmpeg without libswcale is not available anymore (that is just my own humble experience). thus i suggest to write an adapter for ffmpeg w/o the use of ffmpeg- php extension, i.e. with direct command line execution (basically not that difficult). being a linux novice this might be a naive suggestion since probably it opens up massive security holes. would be nice if someone here would have an opinion on that! thx Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

[Media Plugin] Does ffmpeg adapter need ffmpeg-php extension or is ffmpeg sufficient?
Hey, is the php extension ffmpeg-php necessary for the media plugin's ffmpeg adapter to work? or does it interact with ffmpeg directly via command line? I was having a look at the ffmpeg_video.php in plugins/ media/vendors/medium/adapter and it seemed to me that it rather needs ffmpeg-php, since haven't seen anything like command line execution. however, in the slides of the media plugin presentation at cake fest it is written that there is "native support" for ffmpeg. How do i have to understand that? Thanks. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
