Problem with ffmpeg command in serviio 1.0.1

Hi there,

Since 1.0.0 and still valid in 1.0.1, there seems to be a problem with transcoding for mkv files that need it on samsung b/c/d series. Files that worked perfectly fine on pre-1.0 versions don't work anymore.

So I enabled detailed logging and took at look at the output:

  Code:

As you can see, ffmpeg aborts and there is no file in my tmp to be played back. So I took the ffmpeg command

  Code:

ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i /mnt/data/TV Series/My So-Called Life/My.So.Called.Life.NTSC.DVD.DD5.1.x264-LiGHTSPEED/my.so.called.life.s01e13.pressure.ntsc.dvd.dd.5.1.x264-lightspeed.mkv -y -copyts -c:v copy -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -c:a copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-2305-7-ORIGINAL.stf

and ran it in a separate console to see what's up. This is what I got:

  Code:

$ ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i /mnt/data/TV Series/My So-Called Life/My.So.Called.Life.NTSC.DVD.DD5.1.x264-LiGHTSPEED/my.so.called.life.s01e10.other.peoples.mothers.ntsc.dvd.dd.5.1c.x264-lightspeed.mkv -y -copyts -c:v copy -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -c:a copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-2302-7-ORIGINAL.stf

The first worrying bit is the 'deprecated' warning. The real issue here, though, seems to be the space in the file's path. So I tried escaping it with single quotation marks and got this:

  Code:

Same happened for double quotation marks.

What's the issue here?

Thanks in advance!

Serviio puts spaces in when it calls, but not in the log so thats why the first one didn't work.

The real problem is:

  Code:

Unrecognized option 'c:v'


Your version of ffmpeg is too old and doesn't support the new parameters that serviio is passing to it. You will need to compile it from the sources on the download page (see wiki for guide), or find a newer version from a repo.

Thanks!

I'll see what I can do without messing too much with my distro's (debian) stuff.
