CFEXECUTE and FFMPEG

Posts: 105 · Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2007 6:38 pm

How can I run the FFMPEG with CFEXECUTE?

I have this, but nothing happened.

<cfexecute name="D:\websites\cftube.com\videos\Upload\ffmpeg.exe"
arguments="-i #filename# #serverFileName#.flv">
</cfexecute>

Am I missing something?

Ennio,

Unless you are using a Coldfusion VPS, you cannot use the <cfexecute> tag as it is disabled along with CFRegistry on all shared Coldfusion servers.

CFExecute and CFRegistry are disabled on shared servers.

Sorry. Rolling Eyes

You can, however, execute the FFMPEG exe through a JAVA object.
Here's how you do it:

Code:

<cfscript>
function exec_cmd(cmd) {
var runtimeClass="";
var out="";
// Initialize the Java class.
runtimeClass=CreateObject("java", "java.lang.Runtime");
// Execute command
out=runtimeClass.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
// Return the output
out.waitFor();
return out.getInputStream().read();
}
command_output = exec_cmd('D:\websites\cftube.com\videos\Upload\ffmpeg.exe -i #filename# #serverFileName#.flv');
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>#command_output#</cfoutput>

This does not work for me on my server.

The only way i can get it to run is editing

Code:

//out.waitFor();
//return out.getInputStream().read();

But then that means that I have no control over the process - don't know when it ends... don't know if it failed... it just launches ffmpeg into a new process and forgets it it seems like.

Any idea why out.waitFor(); will not work? When i leave it in, ffmpeg never finishes,a nd the output flv file stays locked until reboot....

Any one have any success with this? I REALLY need feedback from ffmpeg during the conversion to know how to proceed in the application and to run flvtools against the newley created file. without out.waitFor() I never know if it finished.... and out.waitFor() doesn't seem to work...

THANKS!!!
