FFMPEG says file does not exist, but, it exists
ffmpeg, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3
Solution
It looks like it cannot find the `ffmpeg` binary itself, not the file you specified. Try to set up the full path for the FFMPEG as well before invoking the constructor:
FFMPEG.ffmpeg_binary = '/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg'
Problem
I'm using FFMPEG via the streamio-FFMPEG Rails gem – https://github.com/streamio/streamio-ffmpeg For some reason, when trying to transcode a video file (that does really exist), FFMPEG says the file does not exist. Here's some output from the Rails console, demonstrating my headache: ``` 1.9.3p125 :001 > File.exist?("/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/video-app/public/uploads/tmp/20131208-1416-1234-0984/videotest.mp4") => true 1.9.3p125 :002 > FFMPEG::Movie.new("/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/video-app/public/uploads/tmp/20131208-1416-1234-0984/videotest.mp4") Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - ffmpeg -i /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/video-app/public/uploads/tmp/20131208-1416-1234-0984/videotest.mp4 from /Users/my-comp/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/lib/ruby/1.9.1/open3.rb:202:in `spawn' from /Users/my-comp/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/lib/ruby/1.9.1/open3.rb:202:in `popen_run' from /Users/my-comp/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/lib/ruby/1.9.1/open3.rb:90:in `popen3' from /Users/my-comp/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125@video-app/gems/streamio-ffmpeg-1.0.0/lib/ffmpeg/movie.rb:17:in `initialize' from (irb):2:in `new' from (irb):2 from /Users/my-comp/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125@video-app/gems/railties-3.2.8/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:47:in `start' from /Users/my-comp/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125@video-app/gems/railties-3.2.8/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:8:in `start' from /Users/my-comp/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125@video-app/gems/railties-3.2.8/lib/rails/commands.rb:41:in `<top (required)> ' from script/rails:6:in `require' from script/rails:6:in `<main>' 1.9.3p125 :003 > ``` Any help would be appreciated.
