Issue after upgrading to Serviio 1.0
I've been using Serviio for about 6 months now and it's by far the best mediaserver app EVER. Extremely stable and transcodes to DirecTV boxes VERY easily.
On to my problem. I've been running a full source compiled version of ffmpeg 0.98 and serviio 0.6.2 with no issues, I was/am excited about getting to Serviio 1.0(Want to go PRO for the online access). I first upgraded Serviio to 1.0 because i wanted/had to build ffmpeg from source. I followed the wiki article on building the latest version of ffmpeg that works with Serviio 1 off the Serviio website. While that was happening my son was watching a movie without a hitch. After his movie I upgraded ffmpeg to ffmpeg-N-42368-gbf53863. I then restarted that movie to make sure everything worked. To my surprise 20 seconds into it the DirecTV box exited the stream and says the video bitrate of <file> exceeds what MediaShare supports.
In my troubleshooting I have looked at the profiles and see the same profile as 0.6.2 with the addition of a DAR="16:9" and vbitrate is 8192. I've dropped the vbitrate to 6000 and still no change and still crashes 20 seconds in. I've tried to remove DAR to no avail. The files I seem to be having problems with are all MKV's and it seems as though ffmpeg is not getting passed or is not acknoleding the max video bitrate, I would assume the latter as 0.98 was working fine. My problem lies that in my troubleshooting and recompiling of ffmpeg I destroyed the old source and now can't revert back.
As far as serviio see's the stream is still going and there was no error, ffmpeg continues transcoding like nothing happened so I have very little logging to go on.
I've also removed all renderers from serviio-console, flipped all options under Transcoding and reset the DTV boxes.
ps shows task:
ffmpeg -i /files/Media/Kid's/Movies/The Lorax.mkv -y -threads 3 -copyts -c:v mpeg2video -b:v 8192k -vf pad=1280:720:0:12:black,setdar=4:3 -r 24000/1001 -g 15 -c:a mp2 -b:a 96k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f vob /tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-9127-6-ORIGINAL.stf
Any ideas?
