    Hello.
    I have a problem on my site. WP Video Posts says FFMPEG is not installed on server, even though it is there and working. Video Embed & Thumbnail Generator for instance is working, converting videos and generating thumbnails.
    My ffmpeg path is /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg.
    i try inputing:
    /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
    /usr/local/bin/
    /usr/local/bin

    Nothing works, says FFMPEG is missing. I even tried leaving the field blank.

    Hi Adriancuc,

    What type of server to do you have – Linux or Windows?
    I would need to do some debugging to find out what might be wrong.
    Please email me url and credentials to your website to alex(at)alexiz.com and I’d be more than happy to help you resolve the issue.

    Best regards,
    Alex

    For anyone wondering the issue was fixed.
    The future update of the plugin will eliminate this problem entirely.

    Hi JimiDad,

    Can you please try to follow the same advise as I specified here?

    I’m not too familiar with Windows environment, but in theory shell_exec php command should run fine on Windows as well.

    Hi Alex,

    That advice falls over at the first hurdle, as we are unable to to set a windows path in the options section.

    It will only take unix/Linux filepaths.

    So if we can’t set a Windows path, then is it correct that this plugin will only work on Linux platforms?

    It would be helpful if you could clarify this.

    Thanks
