Online rss youtube not showing and other problems...1.3.1

I have been using 1.2.1 on linux and did not want to upgrade when everything is working fine. However around a couple months back i start having problems playing files from youtube. I will get cannot read file error on certain youtube streams.

So i decided to upgrade yesterday. I upgrade by copying files in 1.3.1 into 1.2.1 folder thus preserving library folder. After starting serviio again, i can see all my setting intact. However i am getting problem in my online feeds. I only uses youtube plugin. Some of the feed like weekly to viewed videos i can see only like 4 feeds. Some others have them totally empty. I did a few foece refresh to no avail.

Tgen i decide to clear all my settings. I used exported my online feeds and then removed library folder. Then restarted serviio service to let the library rebuild. Still same problem. Empty feeds and so on. I can confirm the feeds are working cause i open them with pc and they are showing.

Any idea how to fix this?

Is the dcdraw problem something of concern?


Here is more warnings:

Not sure I can help directly - but can say that since 1.3.1 I also get that same warning re: Youtube however it doesn't seem to affect YouTube playback (its only a warning).

Not a lot of help I'm afraid... more for info.

No Info = No help

I manage to solve the problem. This is due to the ffmpeg package that I installed from ubuntu 12.04. I had to compile my own ffmpeg and now it works. Strange that 1.2.1 was working fine with this ffmpeg for sometime.

So for those running ubuntu 12.04, I suggest you compile your own ffmpeg as per instructions in wiki.

Here are more information for those using ubuntu 12.04:
- i did not remove any existing packages that I had installed previously especially ffmpeg. Cause when I run "apt-get remove ffmpeg", there will be lots of packages marked for removal which includes mysql-server, php, and bunch of other important packages that I need for other usage in the server. So I just compile ffmpeg and it replaced my old ffmpeg file.
