• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.

Hello,

Debian 10.12
Plesk Obsidian
Version 18.0.42 Update 1
PHP 8.0.18

I have setup Composer Extension and then install PHP-FFmpeg (GitHub - PHP-FFMpeg/PHP-FFMpeg: An object oriented PHP driver for FFMpeg binary) on one of my domain.

I have checked that :

  1. ffmpeg and ffprobe binaries are in /usb/bin --- OK
  2. autoload and all PHP stuff are in /vendor directory in /httpdocs of the domain --- OK

When i try to load default FFmpeg PHP script :

Code:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$ffmpeg = FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create();
$video = $ffmpeg->open('video.mpg');
$video
    ->filters()
    ->resize(new FFMpeg\Coordinate\Dimension(320, 240))
    ->synchronize();
$video
    ->frame(FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode::fromSeconds(10))
    ->save('frame.jpg');
$video
    ->save(new FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264(), 'export-x264.mp4')
    ->save(new FFMpeg\Format\Video\WMV(), 'export-wmv.wmv')
    ->save(new FFMpeg\Format\Video\WebM(), 'export-webm.webm');

I have the same error of those people : Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Alchemy\BinaryDriver\Exception\ExecutableNotFoundException' with message 'Executable not found, proposed : avprobe, ffprobe' in D:\xampp\htdocs\d\trunk\vendor\alchemy\binary-driver\src\Alchemy\BinaryDriver\AbstractBinary.php:160 · Issue #370 · PHP-FFMpeg/PHP-FFMpeg

I am not able to make the path to /usr/bin work because of open_basedir.

Anyone has an idea ?

Cheers.
 
Her is the exact error message I have :

I have found the solution : I had to modify Open_basedir conf in PHP parameters of my domain :

Code:
{WEBSPACEROOT}{/}{:}{TMP}{/}:/usr/bin/ffmpeg:/usr/bin/ffprobe

Moreover a timeout parameter has to be in PHP code :

Code:
$ffmpeg = FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create(
  array(
   'timeout' => 0,
  )
);

instead of

Code:
$ffmpeg = FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create();

Now all work.
