Defining ffmpeg and ffprobe paths manually results in a 500 HttpException

[flossgeek]

I tried to set the ffmpeg_path and ffmprobe_path manually via the Settings page, but this results in a 500 HttpException which says: Given path () to the ffprobe binary is invalid.

I've tried a number of different ways to define the location of the binaries, but I assume it should just be an absolute path? The binaries themselves are executable (I put them in a bin folder within the public folder and gave them the correct permissions).

Populating the paths manually in the php files also does not work anymore (this partly worked in the past), but I prefer doing it via the settings if that's at all possible.

Thanks for the support!

Investigating it.

PR on dependency: LycheeOrg/php-exif#73
Then I should be able to hopefully fix the code in Lychee.

@flossgeek could you try fix-phpexif ?

Thanks for responding so fast!
I replaced the php-exif folder in vendor/lychee-org with the new release, but this doesn't help on my side. I'm still getting the same error message (ffprobe is invalid for videos and exiftool is invalid for photos).

I updated master so using master and composer install should put you with the latest.

I assume it should just be an absolute path

yes.

[ildyria]

@flossgeek please try current master. :)

Ah, yes, I'm sorry. It works well now, thanks for fixing it!
