Ffprobe error on php exec

[barisyesilcimen]

ffprobe or avprobe not found

Php command: exec('youtube-dl -4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP4kValjHmw --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 -o deneme.mp3');

Same with shell_exec.

But no problem in user or root ssh.

Ffmpeg, youtube-dl, ffprobe, libav-tools installed.

ffprobe not found problem is in PHP exec/shell_exec only.

You have to specify one input file.
Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffprobe'.

Here's a similar case: #7278

[barisyesilcimen]

my ffmpeg in /usr/local/bin
this is very spesific problem. i tried all search tips on google. Not found true solution for this.

[barisyesilcimen]

and user's shell command running correctly. No problem on shell/shh commands. Problem is in PHP exec command only.

What's the output of:

exec("ffprobe -version 2>&1", $output);

If the command listed above fails on PHP, you should either set correct $PATH or append the following parameters to youtube-dl:

--ffmpeg-location /usr/local/bin/

See Post-Processing options for more information.

Yesssss! Finally!

exec ("youtube-dl -4 " . escapeshellarg($url) . " --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 -o " .
escapeshellarg($template).' --ffmpeg-location /usr/local/bin/');

resolved my problem. Thank you very much.

Best wishes from Turkey.
