I have drupal insatalled on my home pc as well as my live site tvwalay.com; please tell me the correct path for the ffmpeg!

I have tried the following combos:

localhost\evil\sites\all\modules

localhost\evil\sites\all\modules\video\plugins

http://localhost/evil/

and also the original one it was proposing usr/bin something.

I have an XAMP server and drupal 6!

i tried to view the video any way - and it is playing on my local site - however there are no thumb nails and i am getting this message:

user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '1241659132 SET data = 'cache', created = 1241655532, expire = 0, headers = '', s' at line 1 query: UPDATE 1241659132 SET data = 'cache', created = 1241655532, expire = 0, headers = '', serialized = 0 WHERE cid = 'google:docid3737392571201484550' in C:\xampp\htdocs\evil\includes\cache.inc on line 109.

Please tell if this is because of the first problem or a separate issue on its own!

Thank you,

ffmpeg is a binary that has to be compiled on your machine. I suggest reading up on some documentation concerning FFMPEG.

The module gives an address itself usr/bin - but then negates it.

It is asking precisely for a location, I have seen various responces on drupal but I am kinda stuck!

Any help will be welcomed!

ffmpeg documentation = http://www.ffmpeg.org/

The module is simply a bridge that allows you to use the binairies, but you must first have the binaries. The module that you are installing is asking you to point it to the compiled binaries, I'm guessing that because you don't know where they are, you did not compile them. If you did not compile them, than you have to do so and set the path in the module.

AFAIK, no distributions come with FFMPEG precompiled, preinstalled or preconfigured.

I have only installed this module ffmpeg helper module! & not the main ffmpeg module!

This module is asking for the directory address right at its start up!

Please hlp about this!

Cheers,

This is not a drupal issue-- read the ffmpeg documentation and installation instructions.
