Hi


I am getting the following error in the log - no issues with 0.6.2

ffmpeg has been installed following instructions here https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/Ubu ... ationGuide

When i run ffmpeg from command line I get

does the user running serviio have access to ffmpeg? Did you configure ffmpeg.location system property anywhere?

Been trying all kinds of ffmpeg and wont even get an error message it just quits... :<

Is it possible to download older versions? the 0.6 worked nice for me

Hi

No i didn't, as I didn't know that was necessary. Had no issues prior to the upgrade.

How do you configure the ffmpeg.location system property?

If I invoke ffmpeg from the command line as the user running Serviio I get the output as listed in my first post

Thanks

Enable detailed log, restart Serviio and check serviio.log. It should say somewhere close to the restart position

  Code:

Invoking FFMPEG to check if it exists ....

with a path of ffmpeg.

I had a simular Problem.....

I did a recompile of ffmpeg.
See here: http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide

After this, my problems where fixed

This is what I get

2012-09-11 15:25:11,582 DEBUG [ProcessExecutor] Starting ffmpeg

Then later on FFMPEG is called with no errors

ok, so do you still have the problem? It seems ffmpeg can be found now.
