Serviio 1.4.1 on Linux and FFMPEG

Hello,

What is the minimum version of ffmpeg needed by Serviio 1.4.1 ?

On Xubuntu 12.04, ffmpeg is installed in a standard location (with the package manager)
yet serviio.log contains "FFMPEG not found."

ffmpeg package is at 4:0.8.9-ubuntu0.12.04.1

min is 1.1

make sure it's on path for the user that starts serviio.sh

Alternatively pass the ffmpeg.location System variable

Thanks.

ffmpeg is on PATH when serviio starts.

I can play MP3 and FLAC files despite the 'ERROR' message.

Is the message emitted because of the version number ?
