I need to create a screenshot from a video.

I have followed this tutorial to do the initial setup in Windows 8, php 5.3.

  1. I downloaded the ffmpeg from here for 64 bit operating system.

  2. I followed this video and did all configuration successfully and phpinfo() shows that ffmpeg has been installed.

  3. Then, I tried this to find out whether it is working or not. It worked successfully.

  4. Next I followed this video tutorial and thumbnails were created successfully.

Below is my code:

/**
 * FFMPEG-PHP Test Script
 *
 * Special thanks to http://www.sajithmr.me/ffmpeg-sample-code for this code example!
 * See the tutorial at http://myownhomeserver.com on how to install ffmpeg-php.
 */
error_reporting(1);
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
// Check if the ffmpeg-php extension is loaded first
extension_loaded('ffmpeg') or die('Error in loading ffmpeg');

// Determine the full path for our video
$vid = realpath('./videos/myvideo.mp4');
$videosize = filesize($vid);
$remoteVideo = 'http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4';

//ffmpeg

$ffmpeg = dirname(__FILE__) . "\\ffmpeg\\bin\\ffmpeg";
$imageFile = "1.png";
$image2 = "2.png";
$size = "120x90";
$getfromsecond = 7;
$cmd = "$ffmpeg -i $vid -an -ss $getfromsecond -s $size $imageFile";
$cmd2 = "$ffmpeg -i $remoteVideo -an -ss $getfromsecond -s $size $image2";
if(!shell_exec($cmd)){
    echo "Thumbnail created";
}else{
    echo "Error Creating thumbnail";
}

if(!shell_exec($cmd2)){
    echo "Thumbnail for remote url was created";
}else{
    echo "Error Creating thumbnail for remote url ";
}

Output:

Thumbnail created
Thumbnail for remote url was created

Now, the above code works as expected locally on my Windows machine. I need to do it in my server environment (Linux server) with php 5.5.

How do I do the configuration for ffmpeg on CentOS release 6.5 server with php 5.5.

I have followed these tutorials to install it on the server:

  1. http://supportlobby.com/blog/ffmpeg-installation-on-centos-6-5/

  2. http://tecadmin.net/install-ffmpeg-on-linux/

Output in console:

However, on the server when I open my php file, I am getting the following error:

Error in loading ffmpeg

I have checked phpinfo() and it shows ffmpeg installed in my local but not in server.

What else do I need to do to enable ffmpeg extension in Cent Os 6.5 and php 5.5?
