I've searched around on google and have come up with only one site that explains how to do this: http://railsonedge.blogspot.com/2009/01/flash-video-tutorial-with-rails-ffmpeg.html?m=0 I'm already using paperclip and already have everything set up with it and like using it better than the way this site is doing it. Is there a way to convert videos in the background while keeping track of the state of it using paperclip? My Video.rb currently:
class Video < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
has_many :comments, dependent: :destroy
attr_accessible :video, :user_id, :video_file_name, :title, :public, :description, :views
has_attached_file :video, :styles => {
:video => { geometry: "800x480>", format: 'webm' },
:thumb => { geometry: "200x200>", format: 'png', time: 3 },
}, processors: [:ffmpeg], url: "/users/:user_id/videos/:id/:basename_:style.:extension"
#process_in_background :video #causes death
validates :video, presence: true
validates :description, presence: true, length: { minimum: 5, maximum: 100}
validates :title, presence: true, length: { minimum: 1, maximum: 15 }
validates_attachment_size :video, less_than: 1.gigabytes
validates_attachment :video, presence: true
default_scope order: 'created_at DESC'
Paperclip.interpolates :user_id do |attachment, style|attachment.instance.user_id
end
def self.search(search)
if search
find(:all, conditions: ["public = 't' AND title LIKE ?", "%#{search}%"], order: "created_at DESC")
else
find(:all, conditions: ["public = 't'"], order: "created_at DESC")
end
end
def self.admin_search(search)
if search
find(:all, conditions: ['title LIKE ?', "%#{search}%"], order: "created_at DESC")
else
find(:all, order: "created_at DESC")
end
end
end
