200, Stream not found, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip: '[Clip] …

Hi Pfeffi,

When one gets 200 stream not found from the flowplayer, it most likely means that the video is not found and is not on the server.
Are you able to see the video if you copy paste the link from the shortcode to the browser?
In not, then make sure you are able to upload other media and files (pictures, docs) to the server through media uploader (Go to Media Library directly and try uploading the same video, for example).
It might be permission issues on /uploads/ directory if you won’t be able to upload files through the media uploader directly.
Also, do you have ffmpeg installed on the server? Are you converting videos to different format or you’re just uploading videos with mp4 extension?
If you don’t have ffmpeg installed and are uploading videos with extension other than mp4, they won’t be playable through the flowplayer that is in the player used in our plugin.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Alex

Hi Pfeffi,

To answer you questions:
– yes, the plugin would be appropriate to build a youtube-like site and I have used it before for this purpose. It might require certain tweaking of the template files to fetch the list of videos by category and by author and, in case you have buddypress installed, there will be more tweaking of buddypress templates as well.

– regarding the files not being there. It looks like they are either not being encoded (ffmpeg issue) or not being saved (permission issue).
You can test both issues if you have ssh access to the server.
Try to run the following command from the terminal where source.mov is a path to the file to be encoded.
For example, since we are testing wp-content/uploads/2013/02/, go to wp-content/uploads/2013/02 directory and copy the original file there.

ffmpeg -y -i sourcefile.mov -acodec libfaac -vcodec libx264 -f mp4 -vtag avc1 -vpre normal -refs 1 -coder 1 -level 31 -threads 8 -partitions parti4x4+parti8x8+partp4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -flags +mv4 -trellis 1 -cmp 256 -me_range 16 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -bf 0 -g 250 targetfile.mp4

If ffmpeg is working fine and there is no permission issue, you should be able to see targetfile.mp4 created in /2013/02/ directory.
If not, you would see some error response which would probably draw the light on the issue.

Hope this helps and please let me know if you are able to test it.

Best regards,
Alex

Hi Tirol,

Yeah, you can definitely try to change ffmpeg location in the plugin and see if it helps.
We didn’t specify any location to call ffmpeg since one is usually able to call “ffmpeg” directly from command line without a pass.
But if you would like to try with the pass here is where you can change it:
wpvp-functions.php
line 229:
$str = "ffmpeg -y -i ".$source." ". $extra ." ".$target;

You can put the path before ffmpeg call as such /usr/local/lib ffmpeg
And line 282:
$str = "ffmpeg -y -i ".$source." $extra ".$target;
