This ffmpeg issue showed up after windows did an update. I have been using serviio now for many years. I tried to reinstall version 1.9 and them proceeded to rollback installations from version 1.9 to 1.6 each version was installed into a unique directory eg. program files/serviio19, 18, 17 etc. In each case the browser cache was cleared in advance and after install. In every case the lib folder which holds ffmpeg would not allow deletion of the folder or directories, even when you are administration. All in all the most interesting finding is this.l My program installation list now refers to Serviio as Unavailable. What that means, in windows 10, is that the product is considered incompatible with windows 10. It wiil still attempt to run the program but it does not run well. In addition to the ffmpeg issue the dlna also appears impacted. On the tv serviio either no longer appears or it takes a heck of a long time, sometimes several hours, before the listing of serviio is available on your tv.
This is a terrific product, I bought it and have used it religiously for the last several years. It is light years ahead of plex from a performance perspective, it allows for user groups to be defined so you can have secured areas that not all can see. Unfortunately this is a disaster and my hope is the problem can be trouble shot and repaired. Please help
By the way, you can skip the ffmpeg installation when you get the message that it can't write ffmpeg. It's already there and the system can't OVERWRITE the existing file.
