OK. I am about to hang myself here getting this to work and I hope someone can help (with fixing the problem).

1. I have cirtex hosting
2. Installed FlashVideo
3. Enabled clean urls
4. Uploaded player to the files directory (where the videos are)
5. enabled everything I should
6. Set up cron
7. Changed weight on content template in database
8. Uploaded a video

Here lies the problem ... everything seems to work but I get the Video Not Available picture instead of the video even after the cron run completes.

When I check the file directory, it appears that the video is converted to flash, but the size is 0b (zero bytes).

In the log (and as a warned above the node) here is the message I get:

filesize() [function.filesize]: Stat failed for /home/rallncom/public_html/Object (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/rallncom/public_html/modules/flashvideo/flashvideo.module on line 1184.

According to another post, this shouldn't affect the video output .... if not, then what is causing the conversion to make each video 0b?

Thanks.

may be fruitful to post this as an issue in the flashvideo issue query. I'm sure the developer of the module would take you up on the 100$

Here are my ffmpeg settings for the FlashVideo module. Obviously some of may be different for you, but perhaps still helpful in some way (in particular, the ffmpeg command).

Use FFMPEG-PHP to extract video information. - unchecked
ffmpeg command: -i @input -f flv -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 64 -ac 1 @output
ffmpeg path: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
output directory: files
video default size: 450x337
thumbnail size: 130x100
thumbnail time: 00:00:02
maximum failures: 5
Log Conversion Data. - checked

Are you able to successfully convert them from the commandline?

Hi, travist. How did you fix your problem in your post. I ran into exactly what you got though.

Travist is the developer of the module itself, not the Original poster. May get a quicker response by posting an issue, using the project page of the module in question. or heading over to his site.
