Serviio

i just upgrade to 11.10 and fast forward stoped working.
Whenever i try to do this TV stops playback. Sometimes the movie does not start at all i have to launch the file again.
I use the latest version on Sony Bravia

what's the ffmpeg version?

the message i get on tv is "playback impossible"
the ffmpeg is 0.7.2-4:0.7.2-1ubuntu1

enable detailed log and try it again, then post the ffmpeg command used for transcoding and also try to run it manually

sorry for the late answer, traveling for the weekend.

command executes in terminal normally

Ok, I think you'll have to upgrade to the latest FFmpeg, they changed the way the bitrate information is displayed in the later versions. Go for something like 0.8 or compile FFmpeg from the sources on Serviio download page.

I works. However i think it should be fixed in serviio to be able to use prevoius versions of ffmpeg. Not evrybody needs/wants to compile by himself

No, it would be too much of a maintenance overhead. Linux users have to live with this.

Hi

I followed this page: https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ffmpeg


Basicly:

Add to /etc/apt/sources.list -> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jon-severinsson/ffmpeg/ubuntu oneiric main

Add the key sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys CFCA9579
apt-get update
apt-get install ffmpeg

Fast Forward, Pause & Resume, Seek to middle of file works (tv is Sony KDL-52LX900)

Wow I don't understand any of that lol Is there a dummy version? Please I'd like to get Resume to work on my Samsung. Thx

Resume should be working for Samsungs C/D seeries.

How do I find out what series I got? I'm using a Samsung HT-D5300 and Samsung TV 550 Series. Is it suppose to do it automatically or do I have to do something to activate Resume Playback?

the HT is aa D series, the TV you have to provide the full model name, eg mine in LE40B650 (B series) or LE40C6500 (C series)

I have the same problem (Sony Bravia 2010, EX500), and I will upgrade FFMpeg to try to solve it. Although, pause/play and fast forward does work when I'm using Serviio through my PS3. How come? Is it possible to change the Bravia profile to make it work with the tv as well?

Using:
Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit
Serviio 0.6.2

Edit:
I upgraded using the PPA earlier in the thread, and it works great. I'm convinced this is the best solution, but I'm still interested in the details as to why it was working on the PS3 Here's a bit simpler method of upgrading ffmpeg:
1. Open a terminal* and write/copy this and hit Enter (you'll have to confirm with an additional Enter also):
2. Then open the Update Manager and do an update, but refresh the lists first!

* You can open a terminal quickly by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T

Thanks FoH! Replying to this thread as I found it via search.

Just confirming the instructions above work on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit, and I am now able to pause and fast-forward on my Sony Bravia KDL-40NX710 (2010) where I was unable to previously with Serviio 0.6.2
