Subsonic Forum

I hope someone can help me, I have installed Subsonic 4.6 using the QPKG and everything seems to work except playing flac (which is most of my library)

I have tried adding some of the suggested entries into the transcoder line but I think I may be doing it wrong.

All my library is either FLAC or a very few MP3, I'm not bothered about video just music.

Please can someone help me get this working, just say what logs or screenshots you need me to provide.

here is an extract from the log

Your ffmpeg was built without mp3 support. Your configuration line should include something like "--enable-libmp3lame" but yours doesn't:

configuration: --enable-cross-compile --cross-prefix=/home/slug/optware/ts509/toolchain/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/i686-unknown-linux-gnu- --arch=i686 --disable-encoder=snow --disable-decoder=snow --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --prefix=/opt

I don't know anything about QNAP, somehow you'll have to find an ffmpeg for it with mp3 support enabled.
