    Hi,

    I get an error when trying to encode the different formats:

    “nohup: can’t detach from console: Inappropriate ioctl for device”

    Please might you have any suggestions?

    The site’s running on my local Mac. I installed ffmpeg using the following command:

    sudo port install ffmpeg +gpl +postproc +lame +theora +libogg +vorbis +xvid +x264 +a52 +faac +dts +nonfree

    (The path is set to /opt/local/bin).

    Thanks!

    It’s nothing to do with ffmpeg.
    The nohup error comes due to access problems.

    I advise you to edit the main plugin file:
    /video-embed-thumbnail-generator/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php

    and remove the nohup call from the exec() command at around line 470.
    Perhaps remove the ‘nice’ one, too.
    OR elevate the rights on your server.

    I think this may be due to the script not meant to run on OS X.

    Also, I’m pretty sure you have to compile with dashes, not plus’es.

    For anyone interested: I can only get it to work by executing with popen():
    $this->output = pclose(popen($this->command, ‘r’));

    Sorry, I don’t know enough about running PHP on a Mac to provide much support. ppherson seems to be on the right track. It’s not an ffmpeg problem.
