Subsonic Forum

Hi,

I'm curious if anyone may know right off the bat what may be my issue with my videos not giving any sound. My music works fine. I've gone to another subsonic server listed by GJ51 and tested out the video there and it worked fine in my browser so I know its not my browser. I know for a fact the video's do have sound as I've played them before. I'm guessing it has to do with the trans-coding on my server may be? I have subsonic running on Ubuntu 8. Any advice and I would be grateful!

Thanks,

Gally

Nobody's gonna know right off the bat, there's just too many variables to give a meaningful answer without knowing more information. If your videos play in a local video player ok then the problem is most likely in the transcoding settings.

Here are the settings I'm currently using:

ffmpeg -ss %o -i %s -async 1 -b %bk -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -v 0 -f flv -

If you have something different, just cut and paste the above string into the Step 1 box under Settings/Transcoding.

ffmpeg -v 0 -ss %o -async 1 -i %s -f flv -b %bk -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -

ffmpeg -v 0 -ss %o -async 30 -i %s -f flv -b %bk -r 30 -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -

One could hope right?

Anyway I saw that GJ51 command is just the default setting and that one didn't work. I attempted to use stozher's and still same result. No sound but video is fine. Have any other suggestions?

Thanks for replying!

"FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN"... upgrade FFmpeg!!!

Compare your FFmpeg build options:

"configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-swscaler --enable-pthreads --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libogg --enable-libgsm --enable-dc1394 --disable-debug --enable-shared --prefix=/usr"

and my (package downloaded from http://debian-multimedia.org/ via Synaptic)

"configuration: --enable-libdc1394 --prefix=/usr --extra-cflags='-Wall -g ' --cc='ccache cc' --enable-shared --enable-libmp3lame --enable-gpl --enable-libvorbis --enable-pthreads --enable-libfaac --enable-libxvid --enable-postproc --enable-x11grab --enable-libgsm --enable-libtheora --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libx264 --enable-libspeex --enable-nonfree --disable-stripping --enable-avfilter --enable-libdirac --disable-decoder=libdirac --enable-libschroedinger --disable-encoder=libschroedinger --enable-version3 --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libvpx --enable-librtmp --extra-libs=-lgcrypt --disable-altivec --disable-armv5te --disable-armv6 --disable-vis"

--enable-libmp3lame not found in your FFmpeg. Yor FFmpeg isn't allowed to transcode sound in MP3!!!

Test with:

ffmpeg -v 0 -ss %o -async 1 -i %s -f flv -b %bk -s %wx%h -acodec copy -

This is a workaround for some files... After you upgrade FFmpeg all be work fine...

You nailed it Stozher. Thanks. After a fun attempt on recompiling ffmpeg with the settings from:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p= ... tcount=360

I finally got it to compile. I then had to update the symbolic link in /var/subsonic/transcode, and viola!

Thanks for your guys help!
