Common issues in installing ffmpeg-php
1. While running make, you will get an error
make: *** [ffmpeg_frame.lo] Error 1
Fix: Copy the file ffmpeg_frame.loT to ffmpeg_frame.lo
#cp ffmpeg_frame.loT ffmpeg_frame.lo
This should fix the above issue.
2. After enabling ffmpeg in php.ini, you can get an error
php: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-
20060613/ffmpeg.so: undefined symbol: register_ffmpeg_frame_class
Fix : Goto ffmpeg-php installation folder and open the file ffmpeg_frame.c and replace all
PIX_FMT_RGBA32 with PIX_FMT_RGB32
cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php
# vi ffmpeg_frame.c
:%s/PIX_FMT_RGBA32/PIX_FMT_RGB32
:wq!
then you need to compile ffmpeg
#./configure --enable-shared
#make
#make install
Hope this will help you in installing ffmpeg-php in your server.
