Piwigo no displaying or playing Videos.

[MintyMcMintface]

Hi All,

I write to raise a noob question. Apologies if there is a thread for this but I have been searching online for sometime and don't have a answer.

I run Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon as a server for documents, I run Piwigo on it in order to get my photos away from the google monster.

I have .htaccess files in my mounted drives. My photo directory (./galleries) has my photos drive mounted as a sym-link (bind) to my Piwigo directory.

Photos work fine.

Videos, do not load. All are MP4, All work outside of Piwigo, just not inside Piwigo.

If I upload new videos they work fine. It's just the ones I synced.

I have followed the directions here: https://github.com/Piwigo/piwigo-videojs/wiki/How-to-add-videos#external-tools

I have added the config lines.

I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out.

What information would be useful to provide to help with finding out why my video's don't play.

One other thing, I get the following error: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported"

I also get a check sum "error: 0" when trying to validate checksum.

THINGS I HAVE TRIED:

• Converting videos to MP4 265 and 265 formats and reloading/re-syncing.

• Adding these lines to the .htaaccess files:

AddType video/ogg .ogv AddType video/mp4 .mp4 AddType video/webm .webm

• I get a error when running these but have ffmpg etal:

  apt-get install ffmpeg

  wget http://mediaarea.net/download/binary/mediainfo/0.7.74/mediainfo_0.7.74-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb

  wget http://mediaarea.net/download/binary/libmediainfo0/0.7.74/libmediainfo0_0.7.74-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb

  wget http://mediaarea.net/download/binary/libzen0/0.4.31/libzen0_0.4.31-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb

  dpkg -i libzen0_0.4.31-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb libmediainfo0_0.7.74-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb mediainfo_0.7.74-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb

• Converting videos and re-sync.

Anybody have any ideas?

This is not the right place to ask such questions. Please use the Piwigo forums and provide Piwigo and server logs, the LocalFiles Editor configuration (see e.g. here) and report on the manual use of ffmpeg and mediainfo.

@EddyLB , if this isn't the correct venue for support of issues with VideoJS, Piwigo should probably talk to the plug-in author and ask them to point to the Piwigo forums. Their plug-in settings page is directing users here:

I'm having the same problem and followed the link to the VideoJS Github issue page.
