New server - can't get transcoding working

I'm in the middle of upgrading my home server and I can't get transcoding working.

I'm using centos 6.3. I've managed to build all the required libraries and Serviio is running except for transcoding. The log says

  Code:

I'm not sure whats up with ffmpeg - it seems fine:

  Code:

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'


I'm hoping this is a common issue and has an easy solution?


(p.s. the instructions on http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=how ... all:centos don't work - there are various packages that cannot be found and ffmpeg will not build from the git repo)

[npuser]

  Code:

Transcoded file '/tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-20-flv_player-MEDIUM.stf' cannot be found

Could please delete the folder "serviio" inside /tmp and let serviio recreated it on next transcoding job? Looks like a screwy permission in /tmp/serviio folder.

thanks
NPuser

[will]

Its nothing to do with permsisions, its because ffmpeg is too old and as such doesn't understand the options that serviio is calling it with.

You will need to build it from source unless you can find a newer one. Which packages couldn't yum find?

Thanks for the replies. I'dd do both to be sure.

Will, on a clean VM (only guest additions installed)

Installing openssl-devl fixes this.

I followed instructions here http://www.vimp.com/en/web/faq/items/howto-install-the-transcoding-tools-on-redhat-centos-etc.html to get the libraries. Looks like I cut and pasted the wrong version of ffmpeg as well

Update:

Now when I try with the source from the serviio site I get:

  Code:

[root@localhost ffmpeg]# ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora \
>  --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-version3 \
> --enable-x11grab --enable-libvpx --enable-librtmp --enable-libxvid
ERROR: librtmp not found

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.
