Support Forum

Hi guys,
I have a fresh install of Vimp on my Ubuntu 11.04 32bit system. I have gone through the install guide and done everything described.
I have no idea what is wrong, I will post any logs or anything, I just don't know what the problem is. When I upload a file, it just tells me that the media must be converted first.
The media in question is a 2 minute mp3 and I have left the machine to convert for about and hour.
Please help,
Tom

Hi tomas,

Please provide us the log in ../vimp/log/framework.convert.log to see more clear about your problem.

Best Regards,

Makara

Hi Makara,
I cannot find this file.
I go: /var/www/web/ and there is no log folder
I go to /var/www/log and there is no framework.convert.log
Where should I look?
Regards

I'm having the same problem.

Ubuntu 10.04LTS. Fresh install, all updates applied.
Followed the install instructions exactly.

Here is the contents of the framework.convert.log file:

Hi,

tomascivinod, you have to reread step by step guide and focus on the log because it's important to diagnose the problem.

dforthman, you have to install ffmpeg presets.

Thanks. I've extracted those files and am trying another encode now. Another question I have is why is the site so slow to load, even in my local network?

Now I'm getting this error:

Sorry, if it gave the full error messages, I could do a little research myself. But since I'm getting the shorthand, I'm bringing it to the pros.

Hello dforthman,

you cannot transcode to all HTML5-formats with the ffmpeg that comes as Ubuntu-package.

Please install ffmpeg like here described:
