Schedule the execution of video_scheduler.php using unix cron: + + The crontab should look something like this: + + # m h dom mon dow user command + */20 * * * * www-data cd /absolute/path/to/drupal/ ; php video_scheduler.php http://www.example.com/path_to_drupal + + This will execute the video_scheduler every 20 minutes. + + Note that the video_scheduler doesn't produce any output and cannot be called + from the web.

In order to help you troubleshoot the transcoding process the ffmpeg +helper puts debugging informations on the drupal logs. I strongly suggest to +have a look at them if you are experiencing problems with transcoding. + +The ffmpeg puts in the drupal logs the commands it was trying to execute. You +might try to rerun them on a command shell in order understand what went wrong. + +Or contact a Drupal developer + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
