Compiling FFMPEG on Ubuuntu 13

[spudy12]

If anyone is struggling to compile FFMPEG for Ubuntu following the guide on the Wiki, try this

http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/Ubun ... ationGuide

When following the guide on the wiki, I was getting ffmpeg build failed among other errors but after lots of searching found this guide worked well.
If you follow this guide to compile it, you will then need to add

  Code:

 -Dffmpeg.location=/home/[user-name]/bin/ffmpeg

replacing [user-name] with your username (and no square brackets) to the serviio.sh file under the bin directory where you installed serviio.

Yes i'd be happy to. Give me a few days to test it out with Mac devices and iOS then i'll be happy to write it up

Its referenced in the main how to build ffmpeg guide (http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=build_ffmpeg_linux) which is ubuntu/debian based, so maybe we just just point to that from the ubuntu page.
