Problem streaming video in mediabrowser - SOLVED

Hi guys,

I upgraded to version 1.0.1 from 0.6.2 last night and I'm really impressed. I'd like to take advantage of the mediabrowser software to access my videos from home when on the move or at work (when I get some 'quiet' time).

I can listen to my mp3s and I can also look at my photos, but when I try to view the videos, I get an error message like this:

200, Stream not found, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip: '[Clip]
'http://myservername.com:23424/cds/resource/48/MEDIA_ITEM/FLV-0/MEDIUM,flv_player?authToken=longnumberhere''

I'm running serviio on an old laptop using Ubuntu 12.04, Serviio 1.0.1 and the latest Web UI in PHP - I have external hard drives plugged into the machine which are my main source of media. I know they're working OK as the photos and music are coming off them just fine.

Any help appreciated - apologies if I've missed an FAQ on this already, I couldn't see it.

Cheers,

Andy

There is a bug that will be fixed in the next release. You will get that message when you attempt to replay a video. A workaround is to start playing another video, stop it and go play the first video again.

OK jhb50 - thanks for the info. I'll try the workaround - any idea on an ETA for the next release?

Cheers

I tried the workaround, and it didn't work for me. I await the next release with great anticipation! Serviio has made my time here in Thailand a really pleasant one - the TV here is just terrible LOL

Do you see any errors in the log when you play the file?

I'll try again and take a look!

  Code:

2012-11-15 23:37:37,146 DEBUG [ServiioStatusService] Detailed exception:
java.io.IOException: Transcoded file '/tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-3934-flv_player-MEDIUM.stf' cannot be found, FFmpeg execution probably failed

This is the last error, there were a few before from when I tried a few different videos. I've just done a major reinstall of ffmpeg using the package you provide on the download page. I couldn't get librtmp to work but I don't think that's the problem. It looks like the flv codec isn't installed - I'll give it a try now and see if it works.

I've managed to get my Online resources working again though. Let's see how I go.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 if I haven't mentioned it before.

Cheers,

Andy

Enable detailed logging, run it again and you should see the ffmpeg command used. Then try to run the command and post the error

Thanks for looking into this Zip, here's the output:

There must be somehing on ffmpeg I've not installed correctly - any idea?

Thanks!

so what happens when you execute this?

  Code:

Not sure what to make of that, I'm testing it with videos that work fine over Samba or through my TV.

Where to next?

Thanks again for all the help!

Possibly the URL expired. Can you try to play a local file, instead of online youtube stream?

OK,

I've tried again with a fresh install, here's the log entry for where it fails (at least I think it is)

What would I input on the command line to replicate directly with ffmpeg?

Thanks again for the help!

Andy

[zip]

further up in the log it'll say Invoking ffmpeg to transcode file .. or similar - with the ffmpeg command. You'l have to copy and paste the command and wrap the file name in quotes (it it includes spaces, you don't have to otherwise). then post the result of the command.

Cool - thanks, I'll get to it later.

Gonna watch a movie with the gf - using Serviio of course! It's a lifesaver

Thanks!

I rebuilt the ffmpeg library, as found on the ffmpeg site here http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/Ubun ... ationGuide and now it works - I've just got to fiddle around with the quality settings as I think I can improve the video quality.

I can't wait to try this out and show the guys at work heh heh

Thanks for your support - would you like me to mark this as 'SOLVED'?

Cheers,

Andy
