ServiiGo (Android 3G/4G/Wifi Playback App)

[will]

Just try the media browser on your pc (http://127.0.0.1:23424/mediabrowser - change the IP address if Serviio is on a different machine/nas)

Sig = signature - so this link http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=detail_logging

But for Medium and Low quality, the videos are encoded to mpeg2video, so they really should work unless its a source format the ffmpeg cannot read at al, but then they probably wouldn't be listed.

Ok, i have tried media browser with several files only to get this error message:

200, Stream not found, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip: '[Clip] 'http://*.*.*.*:23424/cds/resource/34397/MEDIA_ITEM/FLV-0/ORIGINAL,flv_player?authToken=************************''

I had already changed my logging to DEBUG but for some reason there had been no activity for some time, so i had to reinstall Serviio to get it to work. However, the same issues remain in regard to Samsung S3 Playback. Here is the display from the log file when trying to play a vid on the Galaxy S3:

By looking at this, it does appear to be FFmpeg problem.. But i don't know enough about FFmpeg to fix it or know what the problem is.

[will]

Yes this is definately an FFmpeg/Serviio configuration issue.

Which distribution are you running? Did you compile ffmpeg from source?

Please run

  Code:

ffmpeg -version


and post the output. Also look higher up the log where it says starting/invoking ffmpeg with .... and the full command line options, copy that and run it, and post it and the output.

Hey
I think I obtained ffmpeg from a repository


My ffmpeg version output is:

I found this in the serviio log file:

I think i should try compiling ffmpeg from source

Yes that is needed as that version is too old to accept the parameters used by Serviio for video. There is a guide on the wiki if you need help http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=build_ffmpeg_linux

Ummm, it puzzles me why the Ubuntu repositories would install an old (deprecated) version of FFmpeg. I have followed the instructions from the link you have provided with some success. Although I can play videos with some of the media players now, it's not perfect - there can be intermittent picture ghosts and sound sync issues. But I get the feeling this is the best I can hope for over a phone network, even at low resolution.

Playing music using ServiioGo is perfect. I have absolutely no issues with this (depending on network coverage). It is an excellent product you have created and I'll get a lot of use out of it. I only wish I could create something as good.

I have had some minor exposure to programming but i become a little overwhelmed with the amount of languages out there, particularly which one would be best to learn first. What would you suggest? I'm currently creating a database using Access for work, which of course utilises VBA. People have suggested great similarities between languages, that skills learnt in one can be transferred to another. But which ones would be best to learn?.

Anyway thanks again....

[will]

It's annoying, but they are always behind. You could try the latest version of ffmpeg.

Glad you like the music player, I use it every day and have some nice improvements coming up in the next version. I'm also hoping to get it to pre fetch multiple tracks in advance, and eventually, support offline playback.

Um... python is quite good for beginners because it removes a lot of the things you have to think about, although I personally don't like it.

I've started work on TheTVDB.com intergration. For inidivual episodes I'm fetching a higher res preview, and when browsing through the Series I'm fetching some artwork and details about the show. Anything in particular that you want to see that is on TheTVDB.com but not exposed though Serviio?

[Xmantium]

Definitely Writer, Director and Overview.
Would be cool if tv shows can be listed with banner images like this XBMC app

Don't know if it's available, but some form of geo filter for us non-US.

What do you mean/what would it do?

I believe I meant to write this in the ServiiDroid thread referring to the ServiiDB-integration. I don't quite remember

[will]

Ah, that's already there, although only worldwide, us, UK. When more content gets added with different regions ill add the additional regions. To access it press the spanner action icon.

[moltra]

Will, are you manually coding in the region's? The serviidb API will return active regions when they are added.

At the moment because there was only two, I'll add them dynamically when there is more.

I'm looking for a way to stream from my Serviio server to my brothers TV (over internet). I thought perhaps your app could solve that. Would it be possible to "relay" over WiFi for example?

If he has an android device that he can hook up to his tv, then yes it should, otherwise no.

[csholmq]

Alright, no plans to extend it with controller functionality? E.g https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... xldXBucCJd

Not at the moment, it's a completely different protocol etc so even after implementing the DLNA side of it, the app would have to download and serve the content in real time, rather than just passing a link to the device.

[Xmantium]

Will, just found the best video player that really works well with ServiiGo - BSPlayer
Free Ad version here

The video just streams quickly and the coolest part is you can make the video popup and re-size it! So you can still browse the internet while watching a vid!
Ive always had long load issues with MX and Mobo, but this one had no issues. Just makes ServiiGo even better!
