Subsonic Forum

Hi all,

Just reinstalled my Ubuntu box, and done a fresh install of Subsonic too.

Having problems playing videos (That previously played) getting access denied / video not found errors, or just the constant spinning loading wheel.

Already tried apt-cach purge subsonic ffmpeg

Here's the output from the log, but nothing leaps out at me. MP3's seem fine, just my avi collection

Code: Select all

Any ideas anyone?

What are the permissions on the video files?

Also, make sure your ffmpeg and whatnot also have correct permissions. I just made the subsonic user able to access them.

I was getting this annoying message for a while and doing that made it go away... so hope that helps.

Check the individual player to make sure the transcodings are selected for that player.

Everything seems fine there, just created a new player but that behaves exactly the same as the original.

Read this thread to see if it gives you any ideas. I've done a lot of work with video, but I'm on Windows.

As you'll see in the thread above the different versions of ffmpeg each have their own quircks. I have a lot of different video fromats for testing and I've found that some videos won't play with some versions of ffmpeg. Not to mention that there are performance playback issues related to core utilization as well.

ffmpeg -ss %o -i %s -async 30 -b %bk -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -v 0 -f flv -vcodec libx264 -preset superfast -threads 0 -

I'm using this string with the latest ffmpeg static build for Windows 64 bit.

You can always try a newer ffmpeg release from here to see if that helps:

http://ffmpeg.org/download.html

That gives the error straight away, but is showing more in the logs

Code: Select all

[3/14/12 9:28:15 AM GMT]    DEBUG   InputStreamReaderThread   (/var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg) Unrecognized option 'preset'

Although this wasn't present in the original log, the preset settings was there by default under transcoders, and I can't see 'preset' in the man page for ffmpeg.

I tried removing preset and everything after it, but still no video. I'm already using the latest version of ffmpeg availible too.

If you removed everything after preset, you want to far... at least the trailing hyphen is necessary...

Glenn

On my CentOS 6.2-installation I had to change the "-preset superfast" to "-vpre superfast" in the video convert script. Then everything worked fine. I'm using the ffmpeg 0.6.5.
