Error thrown shortly after clicking movie

[parkerlreed]

Built on an Ubuntu 13.04 machine with node 0.10.12

In terminal shortly after clicking movie (when it says buffering to 1%)

Server listening on: http://localhost:8888

events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: spawn ENOENT
at errnoException (child_process.js:980:11)
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:771:34)

It seems like you are missing ffmpeg.

Right now ffmpeg is required to convert movies, however issue #9 aims to fix that, making ffmpeg an optional dependency.

You'll need to install ffmpeg with libtheora and libvorbis support which are required to transcode to OGV.

Let me know how this works for you. And if it works provide the install command for ffmpeg, and I'll add it to the README.

Hmm ok. I had installed ffmpeg from the repos before building. I'll see
what I can find out.

Ok ffmpeg output concerning theora and vorbis

ffmpeg -codecs
Codecs:
D..... = Decoding supported
.E.... = Encoding supported
..V... = Video codec
..A... = Audio codec
..S... = Subtitle codec
...S.. = Supports draw_horiz_band
....D. = Supports direct rendering method 1
.....T = Supports weird frame truncation

---

D VSD theora Theora
DEA D vorbis Vorbis

[parkerlreed]

Compiled ffmpeg from source and made sure to have --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis as configure options

Same error. Is there a way to have the runtime more verbose about the error?

[marcelowa]

also experiencing the same issue
compiled it with the following ./configure
./configure --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis

@parkerlreed @marcelowa

ffmpeg's output on stderr is piped to the process' stderr so you should see it display on the command line.

I'll add some extra logging to TV.js' server side when dev mode is activated which should help.

[parkerlreed]

Everything I do to redirect stderr to a file or stdout just prints

events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: spawn ENOENT
at errnoException (child_process.js:980:11)
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:771:34)

Best I can think is something messed up in the compile process. There were a bunch of things I had to manually install (npm install whaterver the build errored out on).

I got the same. ffmpeg version 0.8.6-4:0.8.6-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is installed. is there a solution for this yet?
