YouTube plugin (0.99.5)

[HtV]

Wild guess: could it be a permission thing? FFmpeg not having permission to open the flv files.

Hmm, very interesting... I opened the ffdshow config thing and closed it and then tried the ffmpeg.exe command again, and now I get a working mpg file!

However, when I select a video it still just downloads it and jumps back to the plugin. I do get a working vmr9.mpg file now, but somehow GBpvr doesn't play it...

Code:

Update: While the resulting vmr9.mpg file does play in VLCplayer, GBpvr gives an error when I try to play it from the Video Library...

yay, thanks all for your help

I still don't know what the problem was.. other than it's probably some strange ffdshow thing on my computer... first I didn't get the vmr9.mpg file, then I got the file but gbpvr didn't play it, then I got gbpvr to play it but with a black screen, and now... voila, it plays just fine

Sub, I received this on a video from YouTube as well, FFmpeg was complaining about the output of mpeg1/2 not supporting the 12fps of the input flv file, gave an error of #0.0 and was saying to check parameters. It did it on one file and that was it, all of the other videos played fine. Of course since I was tired last night I didn't even think to save the original flv file for later inspection. :o

I notice two things from posts in this thread. The log shows a command with a double slash. I don't know how to fix that though...

Code:

C:\Programmer\devnz\gbpvr[B]\\[/B]Third Party\FFmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -y -i "F:\PVR\VMR9.flv" -b 3400k -acodec mp3 -ac 2 -ab 128 -f svcd "F:\PVR\VMR9.mpg"

And an error related to framerate... When we were testing this, I had sub remove the -r 25 (which is a specific framerate for PAL) The NTSC world would use -r 29.97

Perhaps you want to edit the config.xml entry and see if it helps...

In PAL World:

Code:

<!-- YouTube conversions -->
  <YouTubeFFmpegTranscodeCmdLine>-y -i "{SOURCE_FILE}" -b 3400k -acodec mp3 -ac 2 -ab 128 [B]-r 25[/B] -f svcd "{DEST_FILE}"</YouTubeFFmpegTranscodeCmdLine>

In NTSC World:

Code:

<!-- YouTube conversions -->
  <YouTubeFFmpegTranscodeCmdLine>-y -i "{SOURCE_FILE}" -b 3400k -acodec mp3 -ac 2 -ab 128 [B]-r 29.97[/B] -f svcd "{DEST_FILE}"</YouTubeFFmpegTranscodeCmdLine>

Good luck

This is kind of a wish list but what would be nice is to either have the plugin donwload and place the transcoded videos in one of the video directories, or show a transcoding process bar and a button to play after transcoding is done.

This would help those of us with less CPU Power.

I have this same problem.... It just poped up on me, it was working fine this morning. I must of changed something, I just cant find what...?

still investigating.

I will bet you good money that these problems were what made the dinosaurs die off too...
