No video recorded

WebPageTest Private Instances
1

Hi
I finally managed to setup my private webpagetest instance, using this guide https://sites.google.com/a/webpagetest.org/docs/private-instances and test machine located in EC2, built from AMI provided.

Locations was tricky part, but it was solved - only one thing is left: no video recorded.
In http://myserver/install i see:
No test agents are configured to render video
So, it seems that the problem is on agent side
I’ve used this AMI - ami-54291f49

But, I could not figure out how to configure agent. According to guide - I need only AviSynth installed - and it is installed.

Hello,

Same problem for me :frowning:

3

Anyone have the same problem? Or maybe there is some additional data should be provided?
Could you please help me?

What other information is returned from the /install page?

See the following post:

It looks like the issue is that the ffmpeg that comes with Ubuntu normally does not have lib x264 compiled-in and that is needed for server-side rendering. I have added a check for that post-2.16 which will hopefully help in tracking down the issue.

I recompiled FFMPEG anew using this guide - CompilationGuide/Centos – FFmpeg, and still have no luck - whenever I try to watch video, it tells me that stream is not found on path

Can you check “ffmpeg -version” and “ffmpeg -filters”? I’m wondering why there is the “not detected” in the second ffmpeg check (though those are only needed for mobile video).

Do you get filmstrips and it’s just when you go to render a video that it fails?

Thank you.
It was my fault - though I recompiled ffmpeg - it was not accessible to apache (as guide, I used, places it in /root/bin).
Now video is rendered ok
