Installing FFMPEG-PHP:

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0/
phpize
./configure
make
make install

Note: Make sure this is the correct php.ini for the box!!

echo 'extension=ffmpeg.so' >> /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Restart and you’re done

service httpd restart
cd /usr/local/src

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg

extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so
service httpd restart

Testing
Direct your browser to view a phpinfo() php file. Scroll down and you should see the ffmpeg extension.

[edit]Errors faced

1. If in the ./configure step following error occurs: Enable to create and execute files in/tmp. Set the TMPDIR environment variable to another directory and make sure that/tmp is not mounted noexec. Sol:

mkdir ffmpeg/tmp
chmod 777 ffmpeg/tmp
vi configure

change TMPDIR from/tmp to tmp tmp dir we make should be inside the directory ffmpeg/
2. ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: ffmpeg: undefined symbol: avcodec_alloc_context2
Sol:- Add/usr/local/lib to etc/ld.so.conf and then run

ldconfig

3. make[1]: *** [stream_dvd.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mplayer/stream’ make: *** [stream/stream.a] Error 2
Sol: –

cd /us/local/src
wget http://www3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0rc2.tar.bz2
tar -jxf MPlayer-1.0rc2.tar.bz2
cd MPlayer-1.0rc2
./configure
make
make install

4. Installing Subversion Using yum on CentOS 5 (Error: Missing Dependency: perl(URI) >= 1.17 is needed by package subversion)

yum install subversion
–> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(URI) >= 1.17 is needed by package subversion

Sol:- check the yum.conf to see if there is line like this. If yes, commnet it and instgall subversion using yum.

exclude=apache* bind-chroot courier* dovecot* exim* httpd* mod_ssl* mysql* nsd* perl* php* proftpd* pure-ftpd* ruby* spamassassin* squirrelmail*

wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/8/Everything/ppc64/os/Packages/perl-URI-1.35-3.1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh perl-URI-1.35-3.1.noarch.rpm

If 64 bit server use below.

wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/8/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/perl-URI-1.35-3.1.noarch.rpm

5. checking for ffmpeg headers… configure: error: ffmpeg headers not found. Make sure you’ve built ffmpeg as shared libs using the –enable-shared option
Sol:

strace -f -o /root/file ./configure

check in/root/file for error:

13062 stat64("/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avcodec.h", (No such file or directory)

do below

ln -s /usr/local/include/libavcodec/ /usr/local/include/ffmpeg

then run ./configure again
6./usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0/ffmpeg-php.c:26:22: error: avformat.h: No such file or directory/usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0/ffmpeg-php.c: In function ‘zm_startup_ffmpeg’:/usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0/ffmpeg-php.c:118: error: for each function it appears in.) make: *** [ffmpeg-php.lo] Error 1 Sol:

cp /usr/include/libavformat/* /usr/local/include/php/

7. checking for ffmpeg headers… configure: error: ffmpeg headers not found. Make sure you’ve built ffmpeg as shared libs using the –enable-shared option

ffmpeg -version

The configs should show up. After confirming that you have –enable-shared there, then try the following:
The exact error happens when you phpize the php-ffmpeg file. The error goes something like this:

checking for gawk… gawk
checking for ffmpeg support… yes, shared
checking for ffmpeg headers… configure: error: ffmeg headers not found. Make sure you’ve bult ffmpeg as shared libs using the –enable-shared option

It means basically that the shared files that are requried aren’t in their correct locations. php-ffmpeg is checking/usr/local/include/ffmpeg location and yours are in the/usr/local/include directory. Silly I know, but at least its easily fixed. Run the following commands which copies the files to the new location:

cp /usr/local/include/libavcodec/* /usr/local/include/ffmpeg
cp /usr/local/include/libavutil/* /usr/local/include/ffmpeg
cp /usr/local/include/libavformat/* /usr/local/include/ffmpeg
cp /usr/local/include/libavdevice/* /usr/local/include/ffmpeg
cp /usr/local/include/libswscale/* /usr/local/include/ffmpeg

If you don’t have the libswscale directory don’t loose sleep over it, just ignore it!
8. php -v showing php: symbol lookup error:/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/ffmpeg.so: undefined symbol:av_free_static
Sol: > For reference, I just went into the ffmpeg-php.c file and commented > out the one instance of av_free_static (its a method call) and rebuilt > and everything worked!

commenting "av_free_static()" in ffmpeg-php.c worked for me also

9. While installing FFMPEG on a server when we run “make” after “./configure” it gives following error:

math-errno -c -o libavdevice/v4l.o libavdevice/v4l.c
In file included from libavdevice/v4l.c:32:
/usr/include/linux/videodev.h:56: error: syntax error before "ulong"
/usr/include/linux/videodev.h:72: error: syntax error before '}' token
libavdevice/v4l.c:77: warning: unused variable `tuner'
make: *** [libavdevice/v4l.o] Error 1

Sol:-
a. First do below. If not working try the next solution.

vi /usr/include/linux/videodev.h

Search for the line below

ulong rangelow, rangehigh; /* Tuner range */

Change:

unsigned long rangelow, rangehigh; /* Tuner range */

b. This problem can be fixed by disabling v41 and v42 for FFMPEG. This can be done when we run “./configure” for FFMPEG

./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --disable-mmx --enable-shared --disable-demuxer=v4l --disable-demuxer=v4l2

10. php -v shows the following error

ffmpeg.so: undefined symbol: avcodec_build

Sol:-
edit the file ffmpeg-php.c in the source and compile again

avcodec_build (), CONST_CS | CONST_PERSISTENT);

to

LIBAVCODEC_BUILD, CONST_CS | CONST_PERSISTENT);

OR

Sol:-

yum install git

git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
cd  x264
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr
make

If arch is x86_64 do the following and run ffmpeg make command

unlink /usr/lib64/libx264.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libx264.so /usr/lib64/libx264.so

13. make error in ffmpeg-php
