Unable to load FFProbe

@Sinnbeck I have executed it from my controller

		     $inputAudio = $audio_directory . $file_name;
   			  $outputAudio = $compress_audio_directory . $file_name;
   			  exec("ffmpeg -i $inputAudio -ab 64 $outputAudio");

@mushfique ok can you show the code for that? That's for ffmpeg not ffprobe? And why not just test it via ssh?

@Sinnbeck Sue. I will share my controller code

	public function upAudio(Request $request){

    $user=Auth::user()->name;
    $decoded_file = $request->getContent();  //Decoded audio file
    $audio_parts  = explode(";base64,", $decoded_file);
    $audio_type   = explode("audio/wav", $audio_parts[0]);
    $audio_base64 = base64_decode($audio_parts[1]);
    $audio_directory = 'SFGSG/SGSFVFVGs/SGSDFG/';
    $file_name_no_ext =  'record_'.time().'_'.unique_code(10);
    $file_name = $file_name_no_ext . '.mp3';
    $record = file_put_contents($audio_directory . $file_name, $audio_base64);

    //compress audio start
    $compress_audio_directory = 'SFGSG/SGSFVFVGs/';
    if (!file_exists($compress_audio_directory)) {
        mkdir($compress_audio_directory, 0777, true);
    }
    $compress_file_name_no_ext = 'compress_record_'.time().'_'.unique_code(10);
    $compress_file_name = $compress_file_name_no_ext . '.mp3';

    $inputAudio = $audio_directory . $file_name;
    $outputAudio = $compress_audio_directory . $file_name;
    exec("ffmpeg -i $inputAudio -ab 64 $outputAudio");

    $this->compressPath = $outputAudio;
    $this->x ='22';
    session()->put('compressPath', $outputAudio);
    return response('success');
}

@mushfique how is this code testing that ffprobe is installed correctly? Can you try as I suggested?

@Sinnbeck When I upload audios it shows "Unable to load FFProbe" this error.I am not sure that its an FFmpeg issue or ffprobe issue.But I was pretty sure that these are in the same package

@mushfique they should be installed together yes. But clearly there is a problem. How did you install it? sudo apt install ffmepg?

@Sinnbeck using this command from shell in ssh i am trying

ffprobe input-file

@mushfique yes? And it says?

@Sinnbeck I have installed it using docker.

@mushfique ok then to help i need to know your setup. Is the app inside the same docker container?

@Sinnbeck when I run ffprobe input-file , it shows

ffprobe: command not found

yes. the app is in same docker container

@mushfique then it isn't installed. Can you run ffmepg in the same shell and have that working? How did you install ffmepg? Which command?

@Sinnbeck FFmpeg is installed and it shows the version when I run the following command "ffmpeg -version". then it shows

ffmpeg version 3.4.12 Copyright (c) 2000-2022 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 4.8.5 (GCC) 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)

but these all are shown in my project directory. but when I run the same command in my docker container

(to enter my docker containers i use "docker exec -it -u root container name bash" command)

to check the version it shows ffmpeg:: command not found.

In my Dockerfile, i am using the following command to install ffmpeg

RUN apt update && apt install -y ffmpeg\apt-utils libonig-dev libzip-dev libxml2-dev autoconf libpng-dev

I don't understand what is happening.Is there any mistake from my end?

@mushfique are you sure you remembered to rebuild the image and restart your container?

@Sinnbeck yes I rebuild and restart the container

@mushfique Can you show your complete Dockerfile? It seems that it isnt installing ffprobe for some reason. Maybe it is a problem with the base image. Does it work with the same docker image locally?

@Sinnbeck locally it works properly.

@mushfique It looks fine. If I recall correctly php:8.1-fpm is based on either debian or ubuntu. I cannot say why it isnt working then. I just added ffmpeg to one of my debian dockerfiles and rebuilt it, and I have both installed now

@Tray2 I run this command but it shows

"Package ffmpeg-3.4.12-1.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version

No package ffprobe available.

Nothing to do"

@mushfique What do you get if your run this command

find . -name "ffprobe*"

If you get this response, then it's not installed

find: ffprobe: No such file or directory

@Tray2 Think that should be / instead of . as it probably isnt installed in the current directory :)

@Tray2 I run this command, it shows nothing

If not installed it should show ffprobe: No such file or directory.but nothing shows

@Sinnbeck is my dockerfile okay?

@Sinnbeck It depends,

If you do . then it looks recursively from the current directory. and if you do / it looks from the root.

The / might give some permission errors since it tries to access everything.
