Am I possibly missing a ffmpeg codec for the 6 channel (5.1 audio)? My Samsung loses a connection to Serviio after this happens but seems to reconnect after a short period of time without any interaction. I'm suspecting/guessing this is how AllShare handles the return code

I extracted the ffmpeg line from the log and executed manually and think my original suspicions related to audio are right :

I can play this file via VLC in Windows (Windows XP) and Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) and both audio/video works. I tried fiddling with the ffmpeg parameters but was unsuccessful on the command line but could not get it to successfully convert

I followed this guide for Ubuntu Server Users (specifically everything in Preparation, Installation, and Optional Installation) things now work. Kids happy and I can enjoy the rest of this rainy day...

p.s. I find these forums awfully quiet. I hope I'm just in a completely different timezone than the rest of you. btw: enjoy the extra leapsecond in about 20 minutes from now

btw: for those interested, these are the new versions

So with the latest ffmepg build, it play well ? (topic could be solved ?)

Yes, topic solved
