how to troubleshoot "Video Generation Failed!"

[nirv199]

Hi

Running 1.28.1 on ubuntu 14.04, and trying to generate videos from events and getting this "Video Generation Failed!" message.

I know this is very broad and sorry if this question was answered before (i didn't have much luck on google) - but which logs should i check to understand what is going on?

Also any know issues or tips I could check out to fix?

Thank you

Check that you have ffmpeg (or avconv) installed and set the path in the Options::Images:

PATH_FFMPEG Path to (optional) ffmpeg mpeg encoder (?) -> path to your ffmpeg

You could know it by running the command

Code: Select all

which ffmpeg

Hope it helps,

Awesome thanks Paco! Just found out that ubuntu renamed ffmpeg to avconv and added that to the path.
