I am trying to upload video using acidfree and cannot get it to work correctly using the mplayer thumbail utility. First off, if I don't use the mplayer utility to create a thumbnail I don't receive the errors. Everything works within acidfree except for the video upload with mplayer thumbnail on.

The exact problem I recieve on both 4.6 and 4.7 is that after I upload the file I receive the following errors. The file gets uploaded but the there is no thumbnail and when trying to view the video all you can see is the bottom bar of Windows Media Player because for some reason acidfree doesn't know the size of the video.

Drupal 4.6
warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\includes\image.inc on line 88.
warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\includes\common.inc:384) in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\includes\common.inc on line 192.

Drupal 4.7
# file C:\Program Files\xampp\tmp\acidfree\mpl99.tmp\00000001.jpg does not exist
# warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\includes\image.inc on line 89.
# warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\includes\image.inc on line 89.

I have spent two days trying to figure this out by using every forum idea and haven't had any luck.

Here are my both of my test server's specifications:
Windows 2003 Server
Xaamp with Apache 2 and PHP 4
Drupal 4.6 and 4.7 respecfully
Latest CVS on 4.7 and latest release on 4.6.

I'd like to get this running on 4.6 first and foremost.

I forgot to mention how my mplayer is configured:

Version: mplayer-full-20050113.exe (i've tried the windows CVS too and that didn't change anything)
Location: c:\mplayer\
Acid Free Configuration: c:\mplayer\mplayer.exe

I upgraded my main server to 4.7 and checked the "Force all new images to be transferred by Drupal" box in the Acid Free settings and the error went away and the thumbnail was created.

Thank you for posting this solution.
I have had this problem for months and haven't been able to figure it out!
Perhaps this should be added to documentation.
