ffmpeg-php "dyld: Symbol not found: _avcodec_init"

Postby kinesias » 23. April 2011 14:40

Hi folks,

I'm stuck with an installation of ffmpeg-php on my XAMPP under MacOs 10.6 Snow Leopard.

When I start my server, it prompts the following messages to the error_log:
Code: Select all
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _avcodec_init
  Referenced from: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.1/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/ffmpeg.so

  Expected in: flat namespace

These are the steps I've done so far:
1. I installed ffmpeg via macports, it all worked fine. these are my ffmpeg entries I get when typing "ffmpeg" into the terminal (shell):
Code: Select all

2. I downloaded ffmpeg-php from sourceforge and compiled it as 32 bit:

unfortunately not, but I have developed my own ffmpeg-php version. I hate those extensions …
I use regular expressions to get all the data I need from the ffmpeg -i entry: (bitrate, fps, dimensions of the movie etc)
I grab a poster frame from the middle of the movie and correct the aspect ratio, if it is anamorphic (cinemascope).

That code is a BEAST:

Code: Select all

<?
echo $file = 'movie.mov';
echo "<p>";
$myThumbnail = makeThumb(2,$file)."<p>";
echo "<p>duration is ".getMovie("duration",$file);
echo "<p>start seconds is ".getMovie("start",$file);
echo "<p>fps are: ".getMovie("fps", $file)."<p>";
echo "height is: " .getMovie("height",$file)."<p>";
echo "width is: ".getMovie("width",$file)."<p>";
echo "ratio is ".getMovie("ratio",$file)."<p>";
echo "bitrate is: ".getMovie("bitrate",$file)."<p>";
?>



<?
function getMovie($var,$file) {
   
   //load file
   ob_start();
   passthru("/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i ".$file." 2>&1");
   $output= ob_get_contents();
   ob_end_clean();
   
   //echo "<pre>".$output."</pre><br/>"; //the full output
   
   //get fps
   $search='/(.*?)fps/';
   $fpsArray=preg_match($search, $output, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
   $fpsArray = explode(",",$matches[1][0]); //split fps value
   $count =  count($fpsArray)-1;
   $fps = number_format($fpsArray[$count],0);
   
   if ($var =="fps"){
           return $fps;
           };
          
   //get dims
   $count = count($fpsArray)-3;
   $dims = $fpsArray[$count];
   list($origWidth, $origHeight) = explode('x', $dims); //720x552 [DAR ] // !DAR important if cinemascope!!

         };
   };
      
         
   //   get height

kinesias, why not use the output of the ffprobe program instead of the ffmpeg -i one? Just to gather a media file metadata would be moure easier to parse with that program don't you think?

EDIT: wait! it gives just the same output! the difference is that ffmpeg -i expects an output file to be given, so in fact it must use ffprobe to display the metadata. I suggest, though, to use the ffprobe program, since that is the correct tool...
