Problem Installing FFMPEG in XAMPP (Win 8 version)

Postby afiq » 02. May 2014 15:03

Hello.

I have problem when trying to install ffmpeg into my XAMPP version 1.8.3.

I followed some tutorial such as this one > http://myownhomeserver.com/2012/12/how-to-install-ffmpeg-php-php-5-4-on-windows-8-xampp-1-8-1/

...but after I start my XAMPP, it shows the program can't start because avcodec-52.dll is missing from your computer.

And, also this message: PHP Startup, Unable to load dynamic library 'D:\XAMPP\php\ext\php_ffmpeg.dll'

But the php_ffmpeg.dll is already inside that folder. Please help me....

In the comments of that tutorial it is said that “If you use a 64-bit version of Windows, you should also place avcodec-52.dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\”
so give it a try. it should fix the " avcodec-52.dll is missing" error

I'm running PHP 5.5.11 on Win 8.1 64 Bit with Xampp 1.8.3 and tried the installation with the link provided above too. Though the link conatains a php54..
As expected, Apache doesn't start up correctly and showing me these error messages:

Code: Select all
PHP Startup: ffmpeg: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20100525
PHP compiled with module API=20121212
These options need to match


I kind of searched the whole internet for a php_ffmpeg.dll compiled against PHP 5.5 but haven't found anything yet.
Unfortunately this tutorial (http://sergey89.ru/notes/ffmpeg-php-windows/) for compiling php_ffmpeg doesn't help me..

Any help is very appreciated

Edit: Update
Found the solution:
Jan_E posted some self-built PHP packages here: http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=5947
He mentions in his last post that php_ffmpeg.dll is included in his packages, so I downloaded http://phpdev.toolsforresearch.com/php-5.5.12-Win32-VC11-x86.zip in my case and found a working php_ffmpeg.dll in php/ext directory.

yay.
