Media Browser will not stream any files

[mayhem2408]

Interesting. It works OK in Firefox 14, but does not work in IE 9 or Google Chrome.

In IE9, the Flowplayer sits there with the spinning circle, thinking.
In Google Chrome, the flowplayer does not show, Just a grey blank panel.

It also works in ServiiGo (I know it's not your software, but interesting to note)

It might be down to Flash plugin version, for example. Also latest Flash doesn't work well with RealPlayer, so if you have that installed, remove it.

I followed this thread because I'm getting the same error. Rebuilding ffmpeg didn't help. I cant play any of my files in mediabrowser.
Some info here:

Switched on the DEBUG. Don't see any errors. Strange.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks.

What does it do when you say it can't play any files?

Here's the screen shot. This happens each time with every file I try to play. Some of the files are over 20GB btw. Does that make any difference?

Ffmpeg failed. Do you have a recent version? If yes, enable detailed log, find the failing ffmpeg command and execute it manually

I have enabled debug, but I don't see any exceptions in the log. Is there some other log I should look in?

Here's what I found:

Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame'

And one more question: I see in the log output that this ffmpeg command runs with unescaped spaces and parenthesis in video file name - is that OK?

All is well now. I've recompiled ffmpeg with --enable-libmp3lame. It works perfectly now.
Thanks.

Having a similar issue and not sure what to try next. Running Serviio V1.0 on Freenas Server .
Detailed logging shows a failure of the ffmpeg command:

Any suggestions?

[zip]

did you read the thread at all? Your FFmpeg is about 2 years old, upgrade it.

Dear community.

I upgraded to Serviio 1.0.1 and ran into similar problem when playing any file via mediabrowser.
Again, playing to my Samsung D works fine for all examples below, only replaying via webclient fails.

Please investigate and let me know what to tweak.

Error displayed in browser (Chrome and IE):

No matter what I tweak on the call, it doesn't seem to satisfy FFMPEG. The version I use has been compiled from up to date sources in October 2012 (see version numbers in output).

I hope some1 does know what to do. But on the other hand, web streaming is nice to have for me and even without it Serviio will be the server of choice.

ffmpeg version 0.8.10

It may have been built recently(ish), but it was build using an old version of the source.

You will need a newever version. Either from a package or by building from source.

[zip]

Your FFmpeg version is 0.8.10, it's probably 1 year old.

I'll run a new make with the sources from the download page and let you know on the results.

New package, streaming still does not work. Different error messages on calling FFMPEG:

All in all, I haven't found a single file playing via Chrome. Maybe there are some weird video/audio codec combinations deep within my library who will work, but the vast majority does actually play really well via Samsung D.

Did you build FFMpeg statically or dynamically? This looks like either an old FFMpeg bug (in case it points to old shared libs) or something in your environment preventing executing the command. Try googling for 'ffmpg segmentation error on Ubuntu', you're not alone.
