Serviio

My Sony BRACIA KDL40-EX603 TV used to connect to serviio running on my Ubuntu box but recently I've been getting an error (on the TV). I can't pinpoint exactly when it started, but round about when Serviio went to v1. I'm currently running v1.2.1

Serviio uses the Sony Bravia TV (2010) profile (selected automatically).

On the TV I can browse the folders on the server, see the videos, and select them, but the TV then throws up an error:

Temporarily unanble to connect to server. Please re-try later.

No matter how many times I re-try, I just get the same error.

I've deleted all the servers on the TV and let the TV re-populate the list.

Any ideas?

Do you have a PRO version or a trial version ? Then try with Serviio MediaBrowser to play same file.

MediaBrowser gives this error:

200, Stream not found, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip: '[Clip] 'http://192.168.1.203:23424/cds/resource/21576/MEDIA_ITEM/FLV-0/MEDIUM,flv_player?authToken=fe634ec0575a41919637702b0bb49803'

I can, however, view all the videos - MP4s and WMVs - in VLC on my Mac using uPnP connection to Serviio on my Ubuntu box.

What is your ffmpeg version ?
Did you used the ffmpeg 1.1.1 with good libraries like this one : http://www.serviio.org/download ?

Ah-ha! Looks like you maybe onto something there...

I'll build 1.1.1 from source and see what difference that makes...

EDIT - Just installed Serviio on my Mac and the same videos play fine from that

OK, I've built and installed the versions of ffmpeg, libRTMP, and LAME recommended on the download page and everything is working perfectly now - even solved another couple of issues I had.

Thanks Illico
