Getting ffmpeg to work...

[Andreas]

I've got apache tomcat 5,5, running the latest version of subsonic...

Music transcoding with lame works fine... But I can't get video playback to work, I only get this message:

"[10/9/11 4:39:15 PM CEST] DEBUG TranscodeInputStream Starting transcoder: [c:\subsonic\transcode\ffmpeg] [-ss] [0] [-i] [E:\SD Film\Alien Raiders\Alien.Raiders[2008]DvDrip-aXXo.avi] [-async] [1] [-b] [1000k] [-s] [480x360] [-ar] [44100] [-ac] [2] [-v] [0] [-f] [flv] [-]
[10/9/11 4:39:15 PM CEST] WARN TranscodingService Failed to transcode E:\SD Film\Alien Raiders\Alien.Raiders[2008]DvDrip-aXXo.avi. Using original."

No matter what type of video I try..

Am I using the wrong version of FFmpeg ?

I've tried both 0.7.6 and 0.8.5 without sucess..

Music transcoding with lame works fine..

Are you converting or just re-sampling?
If you are converting you will be using ffmpeg - try to play a non mp3 audio file eg flac or ogg.

My misstake transcoding .flac to .mp3 doesnt work either.


What am I doing wrong ??

I copied the ffmpeg-0.6.3.tar file to c:\subsonic\transcode

Do I need to change the default transcoding settings for this to work ?


Hm... I just thought of something, Boy am I probably stupid.
