How to preview avi and wmv files in alfresc

I need to preview avi and wmv files in share just like pdf and office documents. How to preview video files?

You have to install ffmpeg on your server, add the video-thumbnail-context.xml.sample and video-transformation-context.xml.sample files to your extension folder (remove the .sample extension) and put the properties mentionned at the beginning of those files in your alfresco-global.properties file.

I think that's all you have to do.

I am getting error Failure: Transformer for 'video/x-ms-wmv' source mime type and 'video/x-msvideo' target mime type was not found. Operation can't be performed
