Problems installing to transcode folder

[Nakaan]

I recently installed Subsonic 4.4 Standalone onto a desktop running ArchLinux. I used pacman to install LAME and ffmpeg, but I can't transcode video or downsample music (rendering my phone useless due to low bandwidth haha). I read that you're supposed to install these programs to the transcode folder within SUBSONIC_HOME (which I would assume is the directory where Subsonic is installed), but I don't know how to do this.

My question: how do I install ffmpeg and LAME from source into the transcode directory?

Thanks for the help, guys ^_^

Just use symbolic links so that they are in /var/subsonic/transcode rather than actually installing them there.

ln -s <fileToBeLinked> <NewLocation>

example if lame exists as /usr/bin/lame

ln -s /usr/bin/lame /var/subsonic/transcode/lame

Make sure the user you run the command as has correct privileges on the transcode directory

Thanks to the power of SSH and DynDNS your solution is implemented, tested, and working ^_^ Thank you very much, sir!

EDIT: Could a mod mark this a solved, please?
