Below 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:<\/p>\n
<?php<\/p>\n
\/\/Set video flv path
\n$videoFilePath = “\/usr\/local\/red5\/webapps\/oflaDemo\/streams\/9.flv”;<\/p>\n
\/\/Set Image path
\n$videoImageFilePath = “\/home\/username\/public_html\/test\/test.jpg”;<\/p>\n
\/\/Set time
\n$time = ’00:00:04′;<\/p>\n
\/\/Execute ffmpeg command
\nexec(“\/usr\/local\/bin\/ffmpeg -i $videoFilePath -an -ss ” . $time . ” -an -r 1 -s qcif -vframes 1 -y $videoImageFilePath “);<\/p>\n
?><\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
