Serviio

Hi there

The Serviio 1.5.2 on Linux now looks to execute 'lib\ffmpeg.exe' - which prevents it from indexing the newly added movies
Please see below the log file :

Creating a link to ffmpeg with name 'lib\\ffmpeg.exe' solves the problem

but it was just to ensure it executes the right binary

in your startup script you're not passing -Dffmpeg.location variable. Where did you get the serviio.sh file?

It's a simple startup script (setting JAVA_HOME and some JVM parameters).
I haven't had a need to provide -Dffmpeg.location location so far (till latest version Serviio managed to execute it w/o pointing to where ffmpeg is as long as it's location is in $PATH)
it's a minor problem - just was curious why it is looking for the windows executable in a linux build

It's needed now, due to changes in my build process.
