Hello guys and/or gals,

Just installed Subsonic ont my VPS server running Ubuntu-11.04. I have encountered the following error Are you guys familiar with this? I done a google search and that did little help. Is this a transcoding issue or what? I know you guys can't give a definitive assessment not knowing much else about my setup so if there is anything else need to resolve this problem, just let me know and I will provide you with the information.

Does this seem like an issue with java?


*btw, I believe this should be moved too the help section...sorry about that*

Looks like the user account that you are running subsonic under does not have permission to run ffmpeg.

the user account within subsonic or my host user account? I have root and ssh access.

well it looks like your using root do you even have the transcoders installed?

Try "sudo apt-get install lame flac faad vorbis-tools ffmpeg"
