Capture FFMPEG output

Question

I need to read the output from ffmpeg in order to even try the solution to my question from yesterday. This is a separate issue from my problem there, so I made a new quest

Answer 1

The problem is you catch only stdout and not stderr (see Standard Streams). Change this line:

$command = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i " . $src;

into

$command = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i " . $src . " 2>&1";

and give it another try :)
