ffmpeg FreeBSD - no such file or directory (Fixed!)

[FUNTOWNE]

Update:

Using the launch flag tomcat7_java_home="/usr/local/openjdk*" breaks ffmpeg decoding, original post follows.

I now have the issue where I can not seek, please see 3 posts down. Thank you!


First some background on my server:

the server
FreeBSD-10.0 x64
openjdk version "1.7.0_55"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_55-b13)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.55-b03, mixed mode)
Apache Tomcat 7.0.53
ffmpeg version 2.2.1 (built from latest port)
Subsonic 4.9

I have tried both a symlink and dumping the binary for ffmpeg into /var/subsonic/transcode. Both return the following errors when building my library and/or playing the video:

Code: Select all

[2014-04-27 18:02:54,943] WARN FFmpegParser - Error when parsing metadata in XXXXX

From subsonic.log, if I run the following I receive an error

(I changed my transcode string for giggles in the last entry, same issue regardless of string)

I can successfully execute /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg as a normal user or root, with the following output:

/var/subsonic has permissions 777 set on it for debugging purposes.

XXXXX is the file to be decoded. Subsonic is pointing to a path to which all users have read and write access.

Needless to say, I am stumped. Has anyone run into this issue before? My gut reaction is to rebuild my old centos 6 virtual machine to bypass this, however there is likely someone else here who could benefit from a discussion to fix the actual issue.

I've seen many similar threads with fixes, but none seem to apply with my setup.

Can you do an ls -la on the /var/subsonic/ directory and then on the /var/subsonic/transcode/ directories and paste the outputs here.

Sure:

For the latter, making the symlink as a normal user also has the same errors as noted in the OP. Nobody is my catch-all user; I had the same error with www being the owner. This is leading me to think that there was a fundamental change with ffmpeg 2.2.1, FreeBSD 10 or Tomcat... no clue at this point.

Yeah that seems odd, based on the output it seems like everything is setup properly.

It is mighty puzzling. I tried running the stand-alone server (but against openjdk 1.7 as installed) with no success. There has to be some stupid little setting I am clearly overlooking..?

I also tried the FFMPEG0 (0.7.something) package, same issue. So I think I can safely rule out FFMPEG.

[FUNTOWNE]

Small update and some success! A quick triple check of my rc.conf lead me to this:


I removed the following from my /etc/rc.conf tomcat7_java_home="/usr/local/openjdk7" I have 6 and 7 currently installed, however 7 appears to be the default. This does not explain why the stand-alone wasn't working, though


It appears that setting this flag for tomcat7 does something wonky with where "home" is considered for directories etc?

The only problem that now remains is that I can not seek through my videos. I suppose this is a transcoding setting that I need to tweak? Currently I am using the defaults.

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i XXXXX

Duration: 00:41:29.66, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1182 kb/s
    Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg4 (Advanced Simple Profile) (XVID / 0x44495658), yuv420p, 624x352 [SAR 1:1 DAR 39:22], 29.97 tbr, 29.97 tbn, 29.98 tbc
    Stream #0:1: Audio: mp3 (U[0][0][0] / 0x0055), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 130 kb/s


ffmpeg is properly getting the length of the file, so again, a bit perplexed.

[FUNTOWNE]

Problem solved!

Added to /etc/rc.conf:

tomcat7_java_opts="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -server -Xmn128M -Xmx256M -Xms256M"

Also did chown -R www:www /var/subsonic

Seeking works properly now!
