Im still having this issue although it was fixed with this release.

Av::CommandError (error while running command if command -v avprobe 2>/dev/null; then echo "true"; else echo "false"; fi: Command 'PATH=/usr/bin/:$PATH if command -v avprobe 2>/dev/null; then echo "true"; else echo "false"; fi' returned 1. Expected 0

If i remove :processors => [:transcoder] the video uploads and a screenshot is shown but the video doesn't play.

Are you running paperclip 4.2+? There seems to be an issue with paperclip-av-transcoder 0.6.4 and paperclip 4.2+
See #10 (comment)

[tedma4]

I was using av-transcoder 0.6.3 and paperclip 4.2.1, but even after updating to av-transcoder 0.6.4 and trying paperclip 4.2.2 and going as far back as 4.0.0, I got the same thing here and here. From the paperclip NEWS file, it says they updated the custom processors in lib/paperclip, but using processors: [:transcoder] doesn't work for me.

I replaced :transcoder with :ffmpeg and got this error using paperclip 4.2.2 and this error with paperclip 4.1.1

+1 got the same error when using transcoder as paperclip processor.

Hope you could help me, thanks :)

I am getting this same error. Has anyone come up with a fix for this?

[RailsCod3rFuture]

+1 Same. I'm receiving the error when I upload videos. Neither Paperclip nor Carrier Wave Video are allowing me to upload and show video files.

For those who tried a lot of times but in vain.

After hours of trying, It strikes me that maybe the error lies in choosing avconv

[AV] Found ["avconv", "ffmpeg"], using: avconv

If you use Ubuntu like me, you might at first install ffmpeg using ppa and because of dependency install avconv as well. Unfortunately it seems that avconv not function correctly.

Finally I decide to remove ffmpeg, avconv packages and reinstall ffmpeg static build.

> sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg  
> sudo apt-get purge libav-tools

ffmpeg static build here => http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/

> wget http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-64bit-static.tar.xz
> tar xf ffmpeg-git-64bit-static.tar.xz
> cd ffmpeg-git-64bit-static
> sudo mv ff* qt-faststart /usr/bin/

These steps work for me. Hope it works for you too.
