ubuntu 14.04.1 video media will not show - error 13

Hi all,
I am a long-time serviio user on windows with never any issues. I have recently acquired a linux desktop machine (ubuntu 14.04.1) and am attempting to run serviio for linux - starting to feel like I have bitten off more than I can chew!!

I have managed to get the service running and can see the server from my devices.
However I cannot get video to add to the library, audio adds fine but I keep getting an error 13
See below:

I have changed the ffmpeg folder and files to read and write for all profiles through right click, properties.

Any suggestions would be awesome.
If you require any more info please feel free to ask - I am at a rookie level!!

Thanks in advance,

Who are you running serviio as? I presume not the user John which is why you don't have permission to your home folder.
Run serviio as John then you can access your files [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]
