Issue Installing ClipBucket but installation cannot find ffmpeg

[Deleted member 174786]

I am running the installation of ClipBucket and I have installed ffmpeg. I rerun the installation to refresh the requirements and it continues to show:

Unable to find ffmpeg

If I do a find of ffmpeg, I find it though:

:~$ sudo find / -type f -name "ffmpeg"
/opt/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS with Plesk 12.5.30 Update #45, last updated at Sept 12, 2016 06:27 AM. Do I need to do something with Plesk for this to be seen by the web page?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Try to create symlink to correct path with something like:

# ln -s /opt/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/

Thank you for your quick reply. I did this as sudo and I reran the script. It still gives me the same message that ffmpeg was not found.

I'm not sure if this helps, but here is the php that is checking for the ffmpeg:

case "ffmpeg":
{
$ffmpeg_path = exec("which ffmpeg");
$ffmpeg_version = shell_output("$ffmpeg_path -version");

$version = false;
preg_match("/SVN-r([0-9]+)/i",$ffmpeg_version,$matches);
if(@$matches[1])
$version = 'r'.$matches[1];
preg_match("/version ([0-9.]+)/i",$ffmpeg_version,$matches);
if(@$matches[1])
$version = $matches[1];

if(!$version)
$return['err'] = _("Unable to find ffmpeg");
else
$return['msg'] = sprintf(_("Found FFMPEG %s : %s"),$version,$$ffmpeg_path);
}
break;

So, I checked the version:

I'm not sure if that helps.

And what is output of command

# which ffmpeg

?

Not sure how this issue related to Plesk...

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

 

[IgorG]

What about next step of your code:

$ffmpeg_version = shell_output("$ffmpeg_path -version");

# /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -version

?

It looks like ffmpeg version doesn't match by code checking part.
