FFMpeg issue

[Emeds 0]

First of all, thanks for the great, free service. I look forward to supporting in the future.

 

To the point - I wasn't able to carry out these steps:

 

# Reinstall FFMpeg from ports with lame option enabled
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg
make config
# enable the lame option
# enable the ass subtitles option
make install clean

 

Because of read-only access. No multimedia folder existed. Instead, I just reinstalled FFMpeg (2.8 I think) - everything is working, I'm just wondering if maybe the CPU usage would be more efficient if lame was enabled. I really know nothing about media files and transcoding, sorry. But from what I've heard from others, an i5 processor should easily be able to serve several clients (~4mbps). Right now, at least when the movie initially plays, the CPU hits 90-100% usage, 80% for lower quality files. Does that sound about right? Thanks.

efficiency wont' matter, it's just that audio transcoding is going to fail for apps that need conversion to mp3.

Alright, thanks. Any idea on why I don't have permissions at this step? I'm accessing the server like this

 

Putty --> NAS4FREE --> log into jail with root + wheel privileges but get stuck "cd /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg" since /multimedia doesn't exist and can't write.

I bet you could get better help on the NAS4Free forums/IRC.

Thanks, I'll register for that forum too hah. The CPU usage has dropped to ~25% now, so restarting probably helped.

ohh and just a guess. If you jails are managed using ezjail the /usr/ports directory is a readonly mount into the jail. In this case I would readup on how you install ports to your jails, which would be done on the host system.

Yeah. It's Finch, actually. I'm going to read up and see if I can't get that to happen tomorrow. Thanks!
