I am running into this exact problem with converting the filmstrip into a video. The filmstrip contains all of the images, when I run the create video it just hangs on "Your video will be available shortly. Please wait...". I did what you asked of the other person. The zip file does get created on the server and seems to contain all of the data it needs:

Code:

I also checked in results/video/11/03/25/c4f76ad3fd2dba6312060efb6a477d28c5a07c5b and this directory only contains a single file called labels.txt which just has the two labels I assigned. The log file from urlblaster is as follows:

Let me know if there is anything else I can test here.

Thank you so much for your time.

Does the zip file stay on the server? If so it sounds like the client isn't picking up the work. Do you have a couple of sample entries from your access log for getwork.php (look for video=1)?

My best guess is that either Avisynth wasn't installed on the test machine or x264.exe isn't in the same directory as urlblast - both of those are necessary on the test machine for it to process video rendering jobs.

mydigitalvoid · 03-26-2011, 03:48 AM

Thank you for your response. No, the zip file doesn't remain on the server

Code:

# ls work/video

tmp

Yes, getwork.php looks correct

Code:

*.*.*.* - - [25/Mar/2011:11:13:36 -0400] "GET /work/getwork.php?video=1&location=Coresite1_IE8&key=10041bbcc7dca&pc=PC-R0&ver=261 HTTP/1.1" 200 -

I was thinking about Avisynth as well. Avisynth is installed in C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5. Is there anything I need to do once I run the installer for Avisynth? x264.exe does reside in the same directory as urlBlast.exe which is C:\Program Files\urlblast

Thanks again!

***pmeenan*** · 03-26-2011, 04:48 AM

No, Avisynth should be fine (video=1 in the getwork.php requests shows that urlblast recognizes it). can you add "debug=1" to urlblast.ini, re-launch urlblast and grab a log file? There should be some comment about executing x264 in there.

Yeah, I did that and pasted the output in my first post if you want to look there. I did see this in it

Code:

2011/03/25 11:12:50    -1    1    1    20    0    Debug    Executing '"C:\Program Files\urlblast\x264.exe" --crf 24 --threads 1 --keyint 10 --min-keyint 1 -o video.mp4 video.avs' in 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\urlblast\zipF8.tmp'

Which is empty, no zipF8.tmp file there.

***pmeenan*** · 03-26-2011, 05:16 AM

oh, sorry - missed the scroll bar :-(

This is not good:

Code:

Uploading 0 byte file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\urlblast\zipF8.tmp\video.mp4

Can you kill urlblast, create another video and e-mail me the zip file from the server (pmeenan@webpagetest.org)? I need to see why it is having problems creating the video.

Thanks,

-Pat

***pmeenan*** · 03-26-2011, 05:16 AM

FWIW, the zip file gets deleted right after it's processed so it's not surprising that it's not there.

mydigitalvoid · 03-26-2011, 05:55 AM

Sent. One thing I noticed was the zip file only contains screen captures for the first url in the list.

***pmeenan*** · 03-26-2011, 06:00 AM

Hmm, it's also missing the template that is used to create the video (video/templates/X.avs) where X is the number of videos being compared. How many videos were being compared? Does it work if you try to create video of a single test?

mydigitalvoid · (This post was last modified: 03-26-2011 06:20 AM by mydigitalvoid.)

There didn't exist a video/templates directory so I created it and re-ran the test with 2 urls. This didn't seem to do anything, still no avs file specifying the number of videos. I was originally testing with 2 urls. I just tried with 1 and it still didn't change anything. Not seeing anything in the log files or errors in firebug.
