Piwigo no displaying or playing Videos.

[MintyMcMintface]

Hi All,

I write to raise a noob question. Apologies if there is a thread for this but I have been searching online for sometime and don't have a answer.

I run Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon as a server for documents, I run Piwigo on it in order to get my photos away from the google monster.

I have .htaccess files in my mounted drives. My photo directory (./galleries) has my photos drive mounted as a sym-link (bind) to my Piwigo directory.

Photos work fine.

Videos, do not load. All are MP4, All work outside of Piwigo, just not inside Piwigo.

If I upload new videos they work fine. It's just the ones I synced.

I have followed the directions here: https://github.com/Piwigo/piwigo-videojs/wiki/How-to-add-videos#external-tools

I have added the config lines.

I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out.

What information would be useful to provide to help with finding out why my video's don't play.

One other thing, I get the following error: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported"

I also get a check sum "error: 0" when trying to validate checksum.

THINGS I HAVE TRIED:

• Converting videos to MP4 265 and 265 formats and reloading/re-syncing.

• Adding these lines to the .htaaccess files:

AddType video/ogg .ogv AddType video/mp4 .mp4 AddType video/webm .webm

• I get a error when running these but have ffmpg etal:

apt-get install ffmpeg

wget http://mediaarea.net/download/binary/mediainfo/0.7.74/mediainfo_0.7.74-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb

wget http://mediaarea.net/download/binary/libmediainfo0/0.7.74/libmediainfo0_0.7.74-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb

wget http://mediaarea.net/download/binary/libzen0/0.4.31/libzen0_0.4.31-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb

dpkg -i libzen0_0.4.31-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb libmediainfo0_0.7.74-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb mediainfo_0.7.74-1_amd64.Debian_7.0.deb

• Converting videos and re-sync.

Anybody have any ideas?
