FFMPEG issue - installed but not enabled

[Nishant80]

Hello Guys,
I have this weird issue. I installed FFMPEG modules using ffmpegisntaller's auto installer. It seems that everything is installed. Take a look at following commands/

root@server [~]# which ffmpeg
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

This shows that ffmpeg is indeed installed. But when any one tries actually using it, it shows that it is not installed. I have ensured that are using the correct path.

Now, I checked in php config, here is the output.

root@server [~]# php -i | grep ffmpeg
root@server [~]#

This means php is not using ffmpeg. How can I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply, I understand there is no official support from cPanel for ffmpeg. I just want a general opinion as to where I should be looking to fix this, since there are quite a few experienced admins around on the forums.

Please note that FFMPEG and FFMPEG-PHP are 2 separate things. You have installed FFMPEG now. You need PHP's FFMPEG extension. You can find it out here
