Well, you were right. Serviio could not access the db because the disk crashed ?! This was an old one, so most probably nothing to do with me playing with serviio.
I changed it and now no more java exception, je server stops quietly because it does not find ffmpeg: I guess what I need now is to have serviio.sh to see my ffmpeg - as it is installed (pkg_add confirms it), but not where serviio is expecting it?
