The proper solution is to recompile ffmpeg from the most fresh sources (SVN).
I cannot do this at the moment, so you may need to compile one yourself.

The set of configuration switches for the compilation of “compatible” ffmpeg is available for each version I’ve posted on that page.

Unsupported codec (id=73728) for input stream #0.1

after the conversion ran. I researched that and it appears that this version of ffmpeg doesn’t have aac conversion. Maybe they are an older version that won’t convert aac??? Is there a way around this??

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I’m having the same problem as Bw, a blank page using godaddy shared hosting, could someone please give us a code example to workaround the LD_LIBRARY_PATH protected?

Thanks.

In your guide you say….

If that doesn’t work for you: LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be a protected variable in PHP (you can check for this by searching for the “safe_mode_protected_env_vars” value in phpinfo() output). The workaround here can be to write your commands to a file from php, then chmod that file with 0775 permissions (rwx-rx-rx), and run the file through exec(). In this way, PHP is not changing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but telling the server to run a file, which tells the server to change it. This method worked for the original author of these instructions.

Can you provide more details on this? Maybe a code example?

Thanks.

just call ffmpegtest.php from your browser; only check that syntax is correct (you omitted opening brace and quote in your comment above):

exec(“export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/content/t/r/o/troxxxx/html/trozza/”);
echo passthru(“/home/content/t/r/o/troxxxx/html/trozza/ffmpeg -formats”);

also, do not forget to set “executable” permission onto ffmpeg (if you have shell access, do chmod a+x ffmpeg in the directory where ffmpeg is located; if you do not have shell access, use your FTP manager to set “execute” permission for user/group/others).

ffmpegtest.php looks like
exec(“export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/content/t/r/o/troxxxx/html/trozza/”);
echo passthru/home/content/t/r/o/troxxxx/html/trozza/ffmpeg -formats”);

and test.php looks like
exec(“ffmpegtest.php”);

ffmpegtest.php looks like

test.php looks like

I managed to get to the second last bullet point, the page is blank when executed, so I had a look at the last bullet point and found LD_LIBRARY_PATH was a protected variable, so I tried the workaround exec(), however I’m still getting a blank page, so thought I’d check that I’m doing it correctly, as i’ve never used the exec() command before.
ffmpegtest.php file is executable and looks like

and my test.php file looks like below

and I’ve uploaded ffmpeg and libmp3lame.so to the trozza folder.

Thanks for any help you can provide, site is excellent!

However, now I want to pass in a Parameter to my command-file but not being a huge linux guy, I’m not certain of the commands (like in DOS it would be %1 %2 %3, etc).

Final help from anyone?

Thanks.
