UPDATE: recent upgrades to Gallery have made this module obsolete. If you're currently using it, we recommend that you deactivate it. For more information, please see the documentation page at Gallery3:User_guide:Obsolete_modules.

Description

NoFFmpeg overrides Gallery 3's default helpers/movie.php file with one that has been modified to work without FFmpeg present on the server, allowing users to upload video's in supported formats.

Note that users will still see the "Can't find ffmpeg on your system. Movie uploading disabled." message on the add photo's dialog, and that users will need to manually type something like "*.flv" into the Select photos dialog in order to actually see videos.

Uploaded videos will be given a default thumbnail, and the video width and height will be set to 320x240.

Features

  • Allows users to upload videos to servers that lack FFmpeg.
