Install ffmpeg-php on CentOS

Question

I'm trying to install ffmpeg-php on server (CentOS) but after the "make" command I get an error:

  from /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ffmpeg-php.c:40:

The ffmpeg was installed successfully as well as mplayer and mencoder.

ffpeg:

Any help?

It sounds like ffmpeg-php won't work with a newer libavcodec, they replaced avcodec_init with another function you could probably recode the one call if its replacement is returning the same thing. It doesn't look like ffmpeg-php has been updated in a long time but you might want to try the HEAD version from svn
