Serviio not working after reboot

was wondering if i can pick someone's brain, when i power on the debian server I have serviio running on the service starts and is visible on the network however if I try to watch any videos it fails to start the transcoding.

It gives me this in the debug log:

  Code:

If I manually run the FFMPEG command

  Code:

ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i /mnt/Media1/Films/HD/Video3.mkv -y -copyts -c:v copy -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -c:a ac3 -b:a 320k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-68-10-ORIGINAL.stf

it works fine.

What is odd is that if i restart the service it then starts working ok. I did try adding a delay in the init.d script relating to it starting in case it was starting too quickly but it made no difference.

Any ideas?

[zip]

it looks like an old version of ffmpeg. Obviously it's weird as it works from command line. Are you sure you don't have 2 versions of FFmpeg installed, with one being used by the init.d script / user and one by the logged in user?

Finally got chance to look into this now work commitments had died down, I managed to solve the issue (after rebuilding the server a couple of times).

For some reason it wasn't able to find ffmpeg when running at boot but when restarting the service via the init.d script it could.

What I needed to do was add the -Dffmpeg.location setting to JAVA_OPS in serviio.sh.

Just in case anyone else has this issue in the future and comes across this thread what I did was the following:

type: which ffmpeg
the response it game me was: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

I edited the bin/serviio.sh file and added the this to the JAVA_OPTS line so it now looks like this:
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dderby.system.home=$SERVIIO_HOME/library -Dserviio.home=$SERVIIO_HOME -Dffmpeg.location=/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg"
