I'm on a new Ubuntu 14.04 server.

Found a wiki page at http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=how ... all:ubuntu

However, this DOES NOT WORK on ubuntu 14.04

Install install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53 libavformat-extra-53

FAIL: No such packages.

Package ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Package libavcodec-extra-53 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

However the following packages replace it:
libav-tools:i386 libav-tools

Package libavformat-extra-53 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

E: Package 'ffmpeg' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libavcodec-extra-53' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libavformat-extra-53' has no installation candidate




From Ubuntu:

Ubuntu started shipping the libav fork instead of FFmpeg in recent releases. If you installed the ffmpeg package, then you actually installed the libav-tools package and a program that told you to use avconv instead of ffmpeg in the future, giving the impression that ffmpeg is deprecated, which it is not.

The transitional ffmpeg package seems to have been removed from trusty/Ubuntu 14.04



Looks like the wiki needs an update.

Now where were those sources ...

Instructions for building FFMPEG are at http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=build_ffmpeg_linux and are correct.

Return to the original install instruction wiki page and continue after the ffmpeg section. All should be well from there.
