Hi,

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ preview:generate-all -vvv

And they are done:

My config:

  'preview_libreoffice_path' => '/usr/bin/libreoffice',
  'enable_previews' => true,
  'enabledPreviewProviders' =>
   array (
      0 => 'OC\\Preview\\TXT',
      1 => 'OC\\Preview\\MarkDown',
      2 => 'OC\\Preview\\OpenDocument',
      3 => 'OC\\Preview\\PDF',
      4 => 'OC\\Preview\\MSOffice2003',
      5 => 'OC\\Preview\\MSOfficeDoc',
      6 => 'OC\\Preview\\Image',
      7 => 'OC\\Preview\\Photoshop',
      8 => 'OC\\Preview\\TIFF',
      9 => 'OC\\Preview\\SVG',
     10 => 'OC\\Preview\\Font',
     11 => 'OC\\Preview\\MP3',
     12 => 'OC\\Preview\\Movie',
     13 => 'OC\\Preview\\MKV',
     14 => 'OC\\Preview\\MP4',
     15 => 'OC\\Preview\\AVI',
   ),

Still it does not show preview pictures for Videos when I browser the media. Did I forget a configuration?

Thanks, Dennis

I checked the nginx logs and i see a lot of 404s:

[21/Nov/2022:12:17:46 +0100] "GET /apps/photos/api/v1/preview/11844?x=64&y=64 HTTP/2.0" 404 2 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/107.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

Hi Dennis, Do you have ffmpeg installed? If using Docker you can access the container and add it with the following commands:

Replace "nextcloud' below with your nextcloud container name

docker exec -it nextcloud /bin/bash

apt update

apt install ffmpeg -y

whereis ffmpeg

SHOULD PRINT: ffmpeg: /usr/bin/ffmpeg /usr/share/ffmpeg

NOT SURE THIS IS NEEDED, IN YOUR CONFIG FILE: nextcloud/config/config.php

ADD:

'ffmpeg' => '/usr/bin/ffmpeg',

Hope this helps.

On a separate note, may I suggest installing the memories app it has HLS video transcoding built in and works quite fast since it also indexes your photos/videos to the database.

Also a page from the memories app docs about file types for others to reference

@guruguruguru You still experiencing this or can I close this out?

Do they show up for files in the trash bin, like in #335 and #355?
