October 18th, 2011Using ffmpeg to create a single thumbnail image from a red5 recorded flv file
June 7th, 2011Below is a simple php code to manipulate with ffmpeg and create a thumbnail image from a recorded flv file. Assuming that we used oflaDemo to record the video and we want the image to be the frame on the 4th second of the video:
<?php
//Set video flv path
$videoFilePath = “/usr/local/red5/webapps/oflaDemo/streams/9.flv”;
//Set Image path
$videoImageFilePath = “/home/username/public_html/test/test.jpg”;
//Set time
$time = ’00:00:04′;
//Execute ffmpeg command
exec(“/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i $videoFilePath -an -ss ” . $time . ” -an -r 1 -s qcif -vframes 1 -y $videoImageFilePath “);
?>
Check if exec is enabled on your account, in most of our servers it is disabled, contact support to have it enable in your account, this is done by adding a php.ini file to your account.
admin folder on red5 version 1.0 – Red5 1.0 RC1 setup problem
May 30th, 2011Setup problem on the new Red5 1.0 RC1 – The admin interface.
On the new version of red5 which came out some weeks ago the admin is not there, it is going to be a plugin this time. to install it, please follow the instructions below:
First of all, you will need to download two files as provided the links below
http://red5.googlecode.com/files/AdminPlugin-1.0.zip
http://red5.googlecode.com/files/admin.jsp
Extract the zip file into the Red5′s plugin folder. And put admin.jsp
inside red5/webapps/root folder. Restart your Red5 system.
Go to your Red5′s http access to view admin.jsp ( which should be
http://localhost:5080/admin.jsp by default)
If you do see any such errors, then you will need to add/delete some
jars.
Issue: Exception java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.slf4j.helpers.BasicMDCAdapter cannot be cast to
ch.qos.logback.classic.util.LogbackMDCAdapter
Solution: Delete the following jar files below.
com.springsource.slf4j.juli-1.6.1.jar
com.springsource.slf4j.log4j-1.6.1.jar
Issue: Unable to view jsp via http access
Solution: Add these following jar files to plugin folder.
jasper-6.0.18.jar (or newer)
jasper-jdt-6.0.18.jar (or newer)
jasper-el-6.0.18.jar (or newer)
Issue: Unable to create usename and/or password or invalid database.
Solution: Delete the admin folder completely from the root folder of
your disk drive.
Successfully create username and password? Next step.
Go to http://localhost:5080/demos/adminPanel.html to view your admin panel (exactly
similar to the previous admin panel look alike).
Goldenrod server Update
March 17th, 2011Hello
The last 2 days the goldenrod is slow and has a high server load, we are not sure what is it, perhaps one of the hard disks needs to be replaced, we have test it and this about 5 hours of downtime, we are thinking of doing this sometime this evening, is that ok?
Please reply to this email with your ideas.
Thank you for your patience.
Warm regards,
