I can check, but the owner it tymanthius:media, and mediabrowser is in the media group. And with the files I've used to test, group has rw permissions.

 

Changing ownership has no effect.

Also a note: This morning MB3 was using about 6.5GB of memory.  It hung on something.  I stopped it, want me to post the log again?

I think these are probably your problem. Sorry it took so long to hit me. You are going to need to install a version of ffmpeg that as all of these encoders. It has been a while since I have used Ubuntu so I am not sure how relevant this documentation page is but it is wort a look.

Ah - I forgot about the kerfluffle around ffmpeg with libav (or whatever) and how Ubuntu started using the forked version.  Updated to "real" ffmpeg & it's working.

 

Thanks guys.  :)

Glad to hear.

 

I don't know why Canonical forked ffmpeg and went with libav.

I don't think it was Canonical that forked it, but I do know they went with libav.

 

What amused me was that ffmpeg looked at libav's mods, liked 'em, and just kept wrapping them back in. :D

I had the same problem, and I have put sources.list line:

# Debian Multimedia Repository

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free

deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free

 

apt-get update

apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring

 

apt-get install w32codecs

  or 

apt-get install w64codecs

 

apt-get install mplayer mencoder ffmpeg flvtool2

 

and now I can play videos and music on the pc that is connected to nas, but I have a problem I can not play in SmartTV.

 

Hope that helps

I was getting all of the same missing encoder errors on my server, and after updating my packages most of the errors were resolved. However I am still not able to stream any content and still seeing one particular encoder error that I can't seem to get to install. I am a complete Unix novice- could someone please explain to me in layman's terms how to get the specific encoder listed below installed?
