I use wildcard.video. I use it with symlink
ln -s /usr/bin/ffprobe /usr/local/bin/avprobe
, because ubuntu has changed the package. If i upload a video or press the convert button in action menu then the convert process fails. I investigated the problem a little bit and i found the following situation.
# https://github.com/collective/wildcard.media/blob/master/wildcard/media/convert.py#L49
def _run_command(self, cmd, or_error=False):
if isinstance(cmd, six.string_types):
cmd = cmd.split()
cmdformatted = ' '.join(cmd)
logger.info("Running command %s" % cmdformatted)
process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
close_fds=self.close_fds)
output, error = process.communicate()
print("###Output###")
print(output)
print("###ReturnCode###")
print(process.returncode)
print("###Command###")
print(cmd)
print("###Command Formatted###")
print(cmdformatted)
print("###Error###")
print(output)
process.stdout.close()
process.stderr.close()
if process.returncode != 0:
error = """Command
%s
finished with return code
%i
and output:
%s
%s""" % (cmdformatted, process.returncode, output, error)
logger.info(error)
raise Exception(error)
logger.info("Finished Running Command %s" % cmdformatted)
if not output:
if or_error:
return error
return output
Here is the output of print statements:
###Output###

From my point of view error and output are twisted. But the documentation of subprocess says that the returned value is a tuple of output, error. I'm a little bit confused.
Update:
I found the issue. It's a missing string decode from bytes to str and the afterwards string operations in the _convertFormat method.
