Previews for videos

[DecaTec]

The app is supposed to also generate previews for video files, right?

That doesn't seem to work.

Nextcloud 19.0.3
Preview generator 2.3.0

Entries in config.php:

'enable_previews' => true,
  'enabledPreviewProviders' => array(
        0 => 'OC\\Preview\\PNG',
        1 => 'OC\\Preview\\JPEG',
        2 => 'OC\\Preview\\GIF',
        3 => 'OC\\Preview\\HEIC',
        4 => 'OC\\Preview\\BMP',
        5 => 'OC\\Preview\\XBitmap',
        6 => 'OC\\Preview\\MP3',
        7 => 'OC\\Preview\\TXT',
        8 => 'OC\\Preview\\MarkDown',
        9 => 'OC\\Preview\\Movie',
        10 => 'OC\\Preview\\MKV',
        11 => 'OC\\Preview\\MP4',
        12 => 'OC\\Preview\\AVI',
        13 => 'OC\\Preview\\PDF',
 ),

ffmpeg is installed and can be found in the path as this is included in the variable env[PATH] in PHP's pool config.

Previews are generated as expected for image files. So the preview generation seems to be configured correctly.

When calling sudo -u www-data php occ preview:pre-generate -vvv, all scanned files are listed. The video files (*.mp4, *.mov, etc.) are missing here, so I guess that the preview generator doesn't recognize these files.

Am I missing something with my configuration or doesn't the preview generator support video files by now?

OK, solved. I had open_basedir active in the PHP config. Had to add /usr/bin/ffmpeg to open_basedir and re-"index" the preview files.

Maybe it's a good idea to print out some message when calling sudo -u www-data php occ preview:pre-generate -vvv and ffmpeg cannot be found/called?
