cant generate thumbnail using ffmpg of php - php

Question

i host my phpvibe website on 247host, When i upload everything works fine except two things. When i am uploading videos then thumbnail is not generating and total time of video is not generating. When i contact their customer support they send me screen shot of terminal in which root executing my command and thumbnail is generated. but when i am doing this in vibecron.php then its not working. I purchased shared hosting, I dont have access to apache log, Now i am not able to understand why my script not working on server? and how i can test.
Here is my vibecron.php
<?php error_reporting(E_ALL);
//Vital file include
require_once("load.php");
$tp = ABSPATH.'/'.get_option('tmp-folder','rawmedia')."/";
$fp = ABSPATH.'/'.get_option('mediafolder')."/";
$ip = ABSPATH.'/'.get_option('mediafolder').'/thumbs/'; ;
//Run conversions
$crons = $db->get_results("select id,tmp_source,token from ".DB_PREFIX."videos where tmp_source != '' and source = '' limit 0,100000");
if($crons) {
foreach ($crons as $cron) {
$db->query("UPDATE ".DB_PREFIX."videos SET tmp_source='' WHERE id = '".intval($cron->id)."'");
$output ="{ffmpeg-cmd} -i {input} -vcodec libx264 -s {ffmpeg-vsize} -threads 4 -movflags faststart {output}.mp4";
//$output ="{ffmpeg-cmd} -i {input} -vcodec libx264 -s {ffmpeg-vsize} -threads 4 -strict experimental {output}.mp4";
$input = $tp.$cron->tmp_source;
$final = $fp.$cron->token;
$check = $fp.$cron->token.'.mp4';
$source= 'localfile/'.$cron->token.'.mp4';
if (file_exists($input)) {
//Start video conversion
$out = str_replace(array('{ffmpeg-cmd}','{input}','{ffmpeg-vsize}','{ffmpeg-bitrate}','{output}'),array(get_option('ffmpeg-cmd','ffmpeg'), $input, get_option('ffmpeg-vsize','640x360'), get_option('ffmpeg-bitrate','1750'),$final), $output);
shell_exec($out);
//Extract thumbnail
$imgout = "{ffmpeg-cmd} -itsoffset -4 -i {input} -y -f image2 -ss ".get_option('ffmpeg-thumb-time','00:00:03')." -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 500x300 {output}";
$imgfinal = $ip.$cron->token.'.jpg';
$thumb = str_replace(ABSPATH.'/' ,'',$ip.$cron->token.'.jpg');
$imgout = str_replace(array('{ffmpeg-cmd}','{input}','{output}'),array(get_option('ffmpeg-cmd','ffmpeg'), $input,$imgfinal), $imgout);
exec ( $imgout);
// Update so far
$db->query("UPDATE ".DB_PREFIX."videos SET thumb='".$thumb."', source='".$source."', pub = '".intval(get_option('videos-initial'))."' WHERE id = '".intval($cron->id)."'");
//Extract Duration
$cmd = get_option('ffmpeg-cmd','ffmpeg')." -i ".$check;
exec ( "$cmd 2>&1", $output );
$text = implode ( "\r", $output );
if (preg_match ( '!Duration: ([0-9:.]*)[, ]!', $text, $matches )) {
list ( $v_hours, $v_minutes, $v_seconds ) = explode ( ":", $matches [1] );
// duration in time format
$d = $v_hours * 3600 + $v_minutes * 60 + $v_seconds;
}
if(isset($d)) {
list ( $duration, $trash ) = explode ( ".", $d );
}
if(isset($duration)) {
$db->query("UPDATE ".DB_PREFIX."videos SET duration='".$duration."' WHERE id = '".intval($cron->id)."'");
}
add_activity('4', $cron->id);
/* End this loops item */
}
}
$db->clean_cache();
}

They have a tester under "Requirements", and that's the first thing you should read when buying a script.
Make sure your ffmpeg works and your paths to ffmpeg in the cms and also that the ffmpeg version on server is right, they support 1.0+.
That php you've posted works fine for them, it's the config in the admin or the ffmpeg on your server the issue.
