Flatline 1 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Dear all, I'm trying to optimize my home multimedia setup. RIght now I have kodi installations on a HTPC and on android devices, and I share the kodi library via mysql installed ona QNAP nas. Trying to solve the slowness of this setup, I found about emby, so I'd like to test how faster this solution is. The QNAP package is not working for me as I have an ARM NAS, but as I had a spare RPi2 and I saw some posts around about people making it work, I decided to try it. So I followed these steps: 1) Installed linux on the RPI2 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi) 2) Followed this tutorial for the RPi2 https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/howto-install-emby-server/6364/8 However when I try to start the server: mono MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe --ffmpeg "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg" --ffprobe "/usr/local/bin/ffprobe" or with mono MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe --ffmpeg "/usr/local/bin/" --ffprobe "/usr/local/bin/" or even with mono MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe i get the error "fmpeg unvailable. Please install it and start the server with two command line arguments: -ffmpeg "{PATH}" and -ffprobe "{PATH}"" Note that I recompiled ffmpeg as by instructions, and that it is accessible via PATH (just running ffmpeg) as well as from /usr/local/bin Can you help me? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatline 1 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 ...I'm an idiot The correct option is -ffmpeg, not --ffmpeg, with only one dash. ...I had to dig through the source code before realizing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achaw 1 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hi, is working for you? Are you using the server in rpi2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I hope you guys know there is an easier means to install this on rpi? We have arm binaries on obs in the ubuntu 14.04 distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatline 1 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Hi, is working for you? Are you using the server in rpi2? Yes sorry, forgot to reply. The system is working perfectly (albeit a bit slowly but hey, it's a ridiculously cheap PC we are dealing with ). The issue was ALL inside the startup script files which invoked the emby server without parameters (which in the case of raspberry pi are needed in order to force the use of the compiled ffmpeg). I hope you guys know there is an easier means to install this on rpi? We have arm binaries on obs in the ubuntu 14.04 distribution. Yes, also I forgot to say in my post that I actually used the version in the repository. However the ffmpeg manual compilation is still needed (am I right?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 There is a bin a user compiled, I have it some where and it was my understanding that Luke was going to make the system autodownload that specific binary for us. I'm not sure he got around to that Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Package libfftw3-double3 is not installable. Any idea how to resolve that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37049 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 This guy doesn't publish his builds in arm, but if you use his build script, it should produce a version of ffmpeg that has everything needed http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatline 1 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Can you give me instructions for the ffmpeg compilation? I get Erros like ffmpeg is missing encoder libx264 and so on. It's here: https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/howto-install-emby-server/6364/6 Anyway this is the part you are interesated in: sudo aptitude remove ffmpegcd /usr/src sudo mkdir ffmpeg sudo chown `whoami`:users ffmpeg git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg cd ffmpeg ./configure make && sudo make install it will take AGES, let it run overnight.
