Hello,

I am running into a problem with a self hosted version of this web app. I have followed the directions as listed out but cannot seem to get mp4s to properly upload to the site. Pictures upload fine. I have checked error logs for apache when I upload (and set log level to debug) and nothing is produced when it finishes uploading. It will go straight back to the home page.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello! sounds like your system cant run the ffmpeg located in the bin directory.

What OS and Device are you running on?

I am running it in a lxc container (Proxmox hypervisor) running Ubuntu
18.04. I can run ffmpeg manually with switches etc but it doesn't seem to
engage from the site.

One thing I have not tried yet though was spinning up a VM with docker
version and see if I get the same problem. I expect that to work though
just due to docker being able to build the exact environment it needs.
