Warning: escapeshellarg() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given (...)

[YohannLYD]

I am running into this error when I am trying to fetch information from a media.

ContextErrorException: Warning: escapeshellarg() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/playerAV/vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Process/ProcessUtils.php line 74

Here is my controller action code :

public function testMediaAction(){

    $mediaInfo = new MediaInfo();
    $repository = $this->getDoctrine()
                       ->getManager()
                       ->getRepository('PlayerBundle:Player\Media');

    $media = $repository->findOneBy(array('id' => '5'));
    $fichier = $media->getWebPath();

    $general = $mediaInfo->getInfo($fichier)->getGeneral();
    return $this->render('PlayerBundle:Player:Media/test.html.twig', array('general' => $general));
}

I can't find the part where I am doing something wrong. Any idea where the issue comes from ?
I am using Symfony 2.3, MediaInfo v0.7.77 (installed on Mac OS X via homebrew) and running my server locally with MAMP.

Thanks for issue reporting @YohannLYD.

What is the value of $fichier?

[YohannLYD]

The value of $fichier returns the path to the media file ("uploads/film.mp4" in my case).

[mhor]

@YohannLYD Could you tell me if #46 fix the bug

[YohannLYD]

@mhor unfortunaltely it doesn't, I run into a "sh: mediainfo: command not found" error when I make the changes to MediaInfoCommandRunner.php

[mhor]

@YohannLYD mediainfo command doesn't exist, it's probably not the right command to run mediainfo. Wich command did you use to run mediainfo on cli?

[YohannLYD]

Hi @mhor,

On the cli, both "mediainfo" and "/usr/local/bin/mediainfo" can run the command.
I made a slight change on MediaInfoCommandRunner.php which made the bundle work.
If I change the line

protected $command = 'mediainfo';

by the absolute path of the binary (/usr/local/bin/mediainfo in my case)

protected $command = '/usr/local/bin/mediainfo';

I can properly get the information of my media.

It's kind of good for me this way, but I am not sure about how to make the bundle work just by providing "mediainfo" instead its full path.

[mhor]

@YohannLYD IMO the $command property should be configurable like:

$mediaInfo = new MediaInfo();
$mediaInfo->setConfig('command', '/usr/local/bin/mediainfo');
$mediaInfoContainer = $mediaInfo->getInfo('music.mp3');

see #47

[YohannLYD]

@mhor it works now. I ran into another error but you can see #47 for my suggestions.

Ok @YohannLYD I close this issue
