[SOLVED] Transcoding failing, due to tmp file being missing

You would know if you had set it via serviio.sh

It's not even showing an error code from ffmpeg which suggests ffmpeg isn't being called at all. Try setting ffmpeg.location to explicitly point to ffmpeg, otherwise point it at a script that simply writes to a file to check that it is being called.

Yep thanks, I should have thought before I replied, added the path in to the serviio.sh, trying again now

YESYEYYEYSYEYSYEYS!!! It's Working!!! Thanks muchly for the advice, I'll gladly put this al up on your wiki, if it stops anyone else form pulling their hair out it will be worthwhile

What was wrong?

What was wrong?

Once I had added the -Dffmpeg.location in the serviio.sh it worked straight away, just writing the wiki article for the whole process.

I have added my experiences to this wiki article, I hope it helps those going before me

Thanks, remove ffmpeg from the prerequisites you don't use the one from yum.

the first yum command removes ffmpeg and x264 so you can build them later

Edit, nevermind, I'll update it. Thanks for writing it up and glad you got it working.

Hi,
I found that installing faac, faac-devel, lame, lame-devel helped when configuring ffmpeg. So:

yum install faac faac-devel lame lame-devel

Thanks
