I'm looking to stream video in subsonic 4.3 with .srt subtitles.
I googled a bit and found out that ffmpeg does not seem to be able to embed .srt subtitles in the video output.
Mencoder is supposed to, though.
So I tried to use mencoder as a transcoder (I'm running my test on a mkv file).
The first step, is to be able to transcode mkv to flv (without subtitles, for now).
I failed at it
I first added a symbolic link on /var/subsonic/transcode/
Then I tried to setup the following line in the Settings>Transcoding page as 1st step :
- Code: Select all
mencoder -forceidx -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -srate 44100 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=1000:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -ss %o -vf scale=%w:%h %s
It does not work...
Here's what's in the log :
- Code: Select all

Has anyone been able to use mencoder to transcode video streams, at least to perform what ffmpeg does ?
Any help would be appreciated.
