Serviio

was wondering if i can pick someone's brain, when i power on the debian server I have serviio running on the service starts and is visible on the network however if I try to watch any videos it fails to start the transcoding.

It gives me this in the debug log:

Code:: 2012-11-30 17:36:19,635 DEBUG [VideoDeliveryEngine] Delivering item '30' for client 'IPAddress=/192.168.1.81, Profile=Sony BD Player / SMP' 2012-11-30 17:36:19,635 DEBUG [VideoDeliveryEngine] Delivering file 'Video1.mkv' using transcoding 2012-11-30 17:36:19,635 DEBUG [AbstractTranscodingDeliveryEngine] A suitable transcoding job already exists, re-use it for client 'IPAddress=/192.168.1.81, Profile=Sony BD Player / SMP' 2012-11-30 17:36:19,635 ERROR [ResourceTransportRequestHandler] Error while processing resource, sending back 500 error.

or this:

Code:: 2012-11-30 17:36:24,946 DEBUG [AbstractTranscodingDeliveryEngine] No suitable transcoding job exists yet, start one for client 'IPAddress=/192.168.1.81, Profile=Sony BD Player / SMP' 2012-11-30 17:36:24,946 DEBUG [MediaItemDAOImpl] Getting file of media item 68 2012-11-30 17:36:24,947 DEBUG [FFMPEGWrapper] Invoking FFmpeg to transcode video file: /mnt/Media1/Films/HD/Video2.mkv 2012-11-30 17:36:24,948 DEBUG [ProcessExecutor] Starting ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i /mnt/Media1/Films/HD/Video2.mkv -y -copyts -c:v copy -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -c:a ac3 -b:a 320k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-68-10-ORIGINAL.stf 2012-11-30 17:36:24,949 ERROR [ProcessExecutor] Fatal error in process starting: Cannot run program "ffmpeg": error=2, No such file or directory 2012-11-30 17:36:32,450 ERROR [ResourceTransportRequestHandler] Error while processing resource, sending back 500 error.

If I manually run the FFMPEG command

Code:: ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i /mnt/Media1/Films/HD/Video3.mkv -y -copyts -c:v copy -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -c:a ac3 -b:a 320k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-68-10-ORIGINAL.stf

it works fine.

What is odd is that if i restart the service it then starts working ok. I did try adding a delay in the init.d script relating to it starting in case it was starting too quickly but it made no difference.

Any ideas?

it looks like an old version of ffmpeg. Obviously it's weird as it works from command line. Are you sure you don't have 2 versions of FFmpeg installed, with one being used by the init.d script / user and one by the logged in user?

Finally got chance to look into this now work commitments had died down, I managed to solve the issue (after rebuilding the server a couple of times).

For some reason it wasn't able to find ffmpeg when running at boot but when restarting the service via the init.d script it could.

What I needed to do was add the -Dffmpeg.location setting to JAVA_OPS in serviio.sh.

Just in case anyone else has this issue in the future and comes across this thread what I did was the following:

type: which ffmpeg
the response it game me was: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

I edited the bin/serviio.sh file and added the this to the JAVA_OPTS line so it now looks like this:
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dderby.system.home=$SERVIIO_HOME/library -Dserviio.home=$SERVIIO_HOME -Dffmpeg.location=/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg"
