FFMPEG not found. Serviio will not work properly

I recently installed serviio on a secondary server, and I can not get it to recognize ffmpeg. I am getting the error:
2013-02-21 20:15:38,897 ERROR [ProcessExecutor] Fatal error in process starting: Cannot run program "ffmpeg": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory
2013-02-21 20:15:38,897 ERROR [MediaServer] FFMPEG not found. Serviio will not work properly.

But I just installed ffmpeg from source.

Re: FFMPEG not found. Serviio will not work properly

it can't find it on path (or the user that runs Serviio can't). You can specify ffmpeg location via a system variable (see the website support section) and search the forum
