Broken webm previews.

[nashset]

they show up in the gallery,
but upon getting the webapp to try and preview them,
it just throws an error because no video preview of them seems to be in the cache directory.

"No video with supported format and MIME type found."

could've sworn ffmpeg supported these.

tried reading the docs and messing with stuff but i think i've dumped too much time into this by now.

so thought i'd bring it up and move onto something else.

Hi @nashset

thank you for reaching out.

Do you have original webm file which you would like to import into HomeGallery or do you customize ffmpeg to produce webm preview videos?

[nashset]

@xemle gallery folder has a few webm files.
the program seems to recognize them as videos, just only jpg previews only seemed to be generated.
i think i just opted to get around this issue by making a bat file (on windows btw) that uses ffmpeg to create an mp4 copy of every webm file,
then just configure the program to ignore webms altogether.

Hi @nashset

I've checked big-buck-bunny_trailer.webm from https://www.webmfiles.org/demo-files. The current implementation lacks on identifying the video duration and skips the video convertion (due eugeneware/ffprobe#6).

I've fixed HomeGallery to handle that case and will provide soon a public fix.

Could you check if your webm files have a duration in the format section when calling it via

ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams video.webm
{
  streams: [{
    codec_type: 'video',
    duration: 23.200,
    ...
  }]
  ...
  format: {
    duration: "23.200",
    ...
  }
}

HomeGallery will convert your video when a video stream has a duration or if there is a video stream and the format has a duration.

Would that fit to your files?

Please @nashset test your files with the new master builds. These include fixes for webm files

To work properly you have to remove all *-ffprobe.json files from your storage directory A new full import should fix your issue
