Kubuntu Lubunut Ubuntu 13.10 FFMPEG not found

Hi
The problem is :
Under Xubuntu 13.10 -> Serviio 1.3.1 ( and I think also the 1.4.1) works fine
Under Lubuntu, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome and Kubuntu 13.10, Serviio (1.3.1 - 1.4 - 1.4.1) does not work at all, on many different computers...

The problem is :
DEBUG [ProcessExecutor] Starting /usr/bin/ffmpeg
2014-03-17 20:54:38,676 ERROR [MediaServer] FFMPEG not found. Serviio will not work properly.

Infact I have found my ffmpeg in this folder "/usr/bin" and I have modifyed my servio.sh JAVA_OPTS adding " -Dffmpeg.location=/usr/bin/ffmpeg" ( I have tryed also without results "-Dffmpeg.location=/usr/bin" )
Also If I omit -Dffmpeg the error is the same.
I have tryed also to add -Dffmpeg to servio-console.sh JAVA_OPTS...no results

Other effects of this error are :
* "Checking for new files" and "Checking for updates" in the serviio console still remain with a red dot.
* I can not press " Force refresh"
* My DLNA clients can connect to serviio but no media are present.


Can you please help me ?

As answered many times, your FFmpeg is obsolete, you have to build a new version.

Sorry but I've updated to the ffmpeg 2.2, I have rebooted, but nothing is changed.

I've set
"-Dffmpeg.location=/home/tonauser/bin/ffmpeg"

In the log there are no signs of " ERROR [MediaServer] FFMPEG not found. Serviio will not work properly." but those problems persist
* "Checking for new files" and "Checking for updates" in the serviio console still remain with a red dot.
* I can not press " Force refresh"
* My DLNA clients can connect to serviio but no media are present.

two issues:

1. User serviio running under does not have access to 'I/home/tonauser/ffmpeg_build/' - check Linux forum for permission or recompile ffmpeg using this link instead

  Code:

I/home/tonauser/ffmpeg_build/

2. Also, ffmpeg is not compiled with rtmp so rtmp stream will fail. How to Compile - http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=build_ffmpeg_linux
