maybe you need to put the ffmpeg into the path?
can you reach it on the console, just typing ffmpeg --help in your home-directory?

this is what my settings look like:

check: transcode path

Downsample command

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i %s -map 0:a:0 -b:a %bk -ar 44100 -v 0 -f mp3 -
HTTP Live Streaming command

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -ss %o -t %d -i %s -s %wx%h -v 0 -b:v %bk -maxrate %bk -bufsize 256k -flags -global_header -map 0:v:0 -map 0:%k -ac 2 -f mpegts -c:v libx264 -preset superfast -c:a aac -b:a 96k -strict -2 -threads 0 -copyts -

On one Synology NAS I have Subsonic, installed using the ffmpeg version of Synology Serviio, supposedly. But in the log I can see that it is somehow "access denied" to ffmpeg, so if it's eg a FLAC it will just play the file without transcoding to mp3 or whatever. Which is fine but no good in the long run if playing from mobile with data quota.

Could I conceivably fix this simply by copying and pasting your commands as listed here ?

If that breaks something, is there a specific config file or something to delete to reset transcoding settings to what they were when package installed ? Or would I then also lose the whole database etc. too ?


Thanks :)
