Configuration.php variable ( some are hidden )

AVideo Encoder Configuration Guide

As AVideo Encoder evolves, new configuration variables are introduced. Over time, some of these might be overlooked or forgotten. This page serves as a consolidated reference to ensure you're up-to-date with all the available variables for the configuration.php located in /videos.

Key Note:

• 0 signifies Disabled or False
• 1 signifies Enabled or True

Core Configuration Variables:

Disable Import Video

$global['disableImportVideo'] = 1; 

This configuration hides the 'Import Video' tab.

Concurrent Encoding Process

$global['concurrent'] = {number of concurrent encoding processes};

The default is 1. If you want to process more encodings simultaneously, increase this value.

PHP Executable Path

$global['php'] = '/usr/bin/php'; 

Define the location of your PHP executable.

FFMPEG Executable Path

$global['ffmpeg'] = '/usr/bin/ffmpeg'; 

Specify the location of the FFMPEG executable.

YouTube-dl Executable Path

$global['youtube-dl'] = '/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl'; 

Identify the location of the youtube-dl executable. For advanced usage, such as with a proxy, the configuration can be modified as:

$global['youtube-dl'] = 'proxychains youtube-dl';

Bypass Video File Error Check

$global['byPassVideoFileHasErrors'] = 1; 

With this, the system won't check the encoded file for errors. More details can be found at Issue#433.

Custom FFMPEG Parameters:

You can customize the $global['ffmpeg'] to add specific FFMPEG parameters tailored to your needs.

Using GPU for FFMPEG:

If you want to leverage your GPU for FFMPEG, you can append the necessary GPU parameters to the $global['ffmpeg'] variable. Here's a generic example:

$global['ffmpeg'] = '/usr/bin/ffmpeg -hwaccel {your_gpu}';

Replace {your_gpu} with the type of GPU you are using (e.g., cuda, dxva2, vaapi). Make sure your FFMPEG version and GPU drivers support the hardware acceleration method you want to use.
