Serviio on Debian

Hello there,

i just installed Serviio on a fresh / clean Debian Squeeze and encountered some issues

First. Is it normal that the serviio-console does not work with the current, stable default-jre package from the official debian repo?

Secound. i can't get transcoding to work. i didn't change the profile.xml file but followed the advice that the ffmpeg version from the debian repo is to old to work with serviio propperly. so i built the latest version from source

  Code:

./configure --enable-version3 --enable-postproc --enable-avfilter --enable-libdc1394 --enable-libgsm --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-librtmp --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-runtime-cpudetect --enable-vaapi --disable-vdpau --enable-memalign-hack --enable-pthreads --enable-bzlib --enable-zlib --enable-shared --enable-static --disable-debug --enable-gpl

is what i used for ffmpeg.

according to my point of view, ffmpeg works correctly by itself, but serviio doesn't transcode.

When i install serviio on my windows system and add the same files from the debian system to it's shared folder, everything (even transcoding) works fine. so i guess even the files and my TV is alright.

Any ideas what i can do to get transcoding to work?

post detaild log of failed transcoding

of course:

here is the complete log file, the first few entries might have been added when i used the ffmpeg version from the official repo, so please focus on the last entries (there for i used the latest version of ffmpeg)

i guess my problem refers to these lines

  Code:

2012-08-01 01:14:04,723 WARN  [ProcessExecutor] Process ffmpeg has a return code of 1! This is a possible error.

ffmpeg from the commandline works

  Code:

# whereis ffmpeg

Can you turn on detailed logging, see my sig and then re-do it. The log will then contain the ffmpeg command, which you can then run manually to get the real reason for the error.

i enabled detailed logging, started the server and tried to watch a video which needs to be transcoded.. i don't know why, but now it works.

http://pastebin.com/EZzQggYA this is the detailed logfile.

i disabled detailed logging, and it still works..

i don't the reason why it works now, so would you mind having a look at the log file, maybe this will give a hint what's the difference. My only guess is a whole system restart fixed the problem. i installed the server yesterday, and couldn't get transcoding to work even with a self compiled ffmpeg. Might serviio cache the location of ffmpeg the first time it starts? because the self compiled version is located in another directory than the precompiled (precompiled: /usr/bin | selfcompield: /usr/local/bin)

any ideas?
thank you for the help so far
