Serviio

I have searched the forum and wiki and can't find the solution to my problem. I first tried streaming Online Content (RSS) after the 0.6.1 release from my Ubuntu 11.10 system and it didn't work. I assumed I was doing something wrong and gave up. After the 0.6.2 release I put Serviio on my Windows 7 laptop and tried my had at the online content again. To my amazement it worked beautifully. So I went to my Ubuntu system and did the exact same thing, nothing. It shows the feed folders I made and when I open them it says "There are no titles". I then researched and saw that configuring the ffmpeg is required, which I had not done. So I copied and pasted all the directions, in order, from http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=build_ffmpeg_linux The only thing I was unsure of was when it got to the "Build and Install FFmpeg" section it says "This guide uses latest FFmpeg source, Serviio is tailored to work with a certain version though - the source can be downloaded at http://www.serviio.org/download" which confused me a bit so I just copied and pasted the text in the box below that into Terminal as I had done with the rest. I don't know if this is where the issue lies or not.

I put in the plugins and RSS feeds exactly as I did on the Windows 7 machine that works fine. Both systems stream and transcode local media perfectly. The online content from the Ubuntu machine is where I am having the issues.

I would be very grateful for any help with this matter. I have only been using Ubuntu/Linux for about 4 months now, so I am still in the learning process on how all of this stuff works. If logs and such are required, I may need specific instructions on how to access and make sure I am looking at the right log.

Thank you in advance!

can you run ffmpeg -i and paste the output here please

Here it is ...

he means run ffmpeg -i "your-online-url"

Ok, I think this is what you mean. I tried 2 urls that work on my Windows machine. Sorry for being such a Linux noob Thank you both for your help.

You can't run ffmpeg against a container like rss, only against a file or straem containing audio & video. You need to look in the Serviio Debug log to see how thes rss are processed.

actualy JHB50 he did exactly as i wanted him to all i wanted to see was the config information of ffmpeg. to check it was configured correct and it is so its not ffmpeg issue. I have a feelig the rss feed he is using are not valid that why they dont work can you provide him with some known working ones as your more involved with feed tahn i am.

Ok, I don't know what happened but now, some of my feeds are working. All my SD live feeds are working, the HD live feeds show up but give me a network/Media Server error on my PS3 of (00000000). None of my Hulu Feeds are working and yes I downloaded the latest hulu.groovy that was just posted. The Hulu feeds keep saying "There are no titles" The exact same feeds work on my Win7 laptop. I think the HD channel issue is something different because both machines have that issue, It may have something to do with my Old HDTV that's currently displaying at 480p.

If someone could help me figure out my issue with the Hulu feeds, I would be very appreciative.

that maybe because PS3 profile needs editing, will have to work on that at some point.

I awoke this morning and all my HD feeds were now working on both machines. Every feed is working on Windows 7, but Ubuntu will not display the Hulu feeds. Again they are exactly the same feeds on both machines. I get the following error in the log when it tries to read/update the hulu feed...



Thank you for your quick responses, I hope this is a simple fix that I am over looking. Could it be something with MP4 ro Flash?

I have been dabbling with ubuntu here lately and one thing I have noticed is to always make sure you have the permissions you need to run the files or scripts you need to run. It's not a solution but maybe a place to start looking.

I have exactly the same issue: I have a feed (ITV player) that works perfectly on my Windows 7 machine, but does not work (with exactly the same error messages) as above, on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine.

Was there a resolution to this?

Probably old FFmpeg

Zip

Thank you for the reply. Can you tell whether I have old ffmpeg by looking at the License information below? I thought I had downloaded the latest one. I would appreciate your help.

That looks ok. Are there any errors in your log?

Zip thanks for the prompt reply. There are errors in my log when it tries to update the feed. Here is what it says (I get the same error for iPlayer and ITV Player).

ok. try to efresh the online feed, then look at the log again and poste result of ffmpeg -i "rtmp url". It wont work with the one you posted because it expired in the meantime, so you have to do it with a fresh url.

Example:

Zip, thanks. Here is the post of the data you requested (I hope I got it right).

Not sure what that means but your FFmpeg cannot read the stream.

In both cases it seems that the url:s need to be decrypted using flash.

Have you got flash installed on your Ubuntu machine?
