4.2 disable FFMPEG completely

[dhartford]

Hi all, I'm trying to get rid of the following error in my logs on startup (and have no need for ffmpeg/video conversion):


2014-12-08 09:37:55,673  ERROR [content.transform.RuntimeExecutableContentTrans
formerWorker] [localhost-startStop-1] Failed to start a runtime executable content transformer:
Execution result:
   os:         Linux
   command:    ${ffmpeg.exe} -version
   succeeded:  false
   exit code:  2
   out:
   err:        Cannot run program "${ffmpeg.exe}": error=2, No such file or directory



I've searched the forum: https://forums.alfresco.com/search/sitesolr/disable%2520ffmpeg

Read through the documentation and using this as a reference: https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformation_Limits#Disabling_a_transformer

Action taken; added this to alfresco-global.properties:

content.transformer.ffmpeg.*.extension.*.*.supported=false
content.transformer.ffmpeg.*.extensions.*.*.supported=false

However, the error is still occurring on startup. 


QUESTION: How do you get rid of the error on startup without installing ffmpeg?

Hi,

To disable ffmpeg, you have to rename two files in your extension directory (tomcat/shared/clases/alfresco/extension) with .sample extension: video-thumbnail-context.xml and video-transformation-context.xml or delete them and Restart the server.

Hope this helps…
