Filename length issue

I had a mkv file with a very long filename, when I was on my WD TV Live or on my LG TV I wasn't able to see that mkv file. I renamed it and after I was able to see that file on both of my device.

I dunno if the library index have an issue with the length of a folder or filename but I think it can be good to take a look a this.

Thank's!

Can you post both names, the one that worked and the one that didn't? It might have something to do with the way you had it named.

The two longest names I can find on my server are:

Murder, She Wrote S04E12 - Who Threw the Barbitals in Mrs. Fletcher's Chowder.mkv
Anne of Green Gables (1985) S03E02 - Anne of Green Gables The Continuing Story.mkv

They both show up just fine.

Hi,

I have a similar issue and it seems that ffmpeg has a problem with transcoding.
It works after I changing the name to a name without any special characters, but I don't find any pattern for that.

I try to disable transcoding, but the WebGUI doesn't work with 1.6.1. I can't save my settings...

serviio 636 3540 99 19:59 ? 00:00:16 ffmpeg -threads auto -i /.../.../.../xyz.mkv -y -threads auto -c:v mpeg2video -pix_fmt yuv420p -qscale:v 1 -r 25 -g 15 -c:a ac3 -b:a 192k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-1491-7-ORIGINAL.stf
-> the most videos using audio codec AAC and not AC3

Don't use WebGui anymore, Serviio has a built-in one now.
