Different distros store files in different places.

I was thinking something like this, but I'm just guessing:

Code:

$command = '/usr/bin/ffmpeg -itsoffset -7 -i '.FCPATH.'celestial_stream/video/test.mp4 -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 320x240 '.FCPATH.'celestial_stream/thumbnails/test.jpg';

echo $command; // Check that this contains the correct paths.
echo shell_exec($command);

Random question : You don't sleep or what? :lol:[/quote]

Yes, I sleep. I just don't sleep very much since I suffer from severe pain.[/quote]
It doesn't work. You deleted the celestial_stream from the command string because it returns the wrong path (double celestial_stream) and I'm sure the path is correct now. This is what it prints :

/usr/bin/ffmpeg -itsoffset -7 -i /opt/lampp/htdocs/celestial_stream/video/test.mp4 -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 320x240 /opt/lampp/htdocs/celestial_stream/thumbnails/test.jpg

I've checked it. There's test.mp4 in the video directory indeed, and I've given full permission to both video and thumbnails directory.

Maybe I need to give permission to execute in /usr/bin?

I also put shell_exec($command) without echo, just to make sure, but still doesn't work.
