maegibbons 1267 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hi Any reason why the custom ffmpeg path has been removed on Ubuntu 16.04? The stock version is quite old but working. However, it may be better to choose a later version. Krs Mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36876 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 It's decided on a per platform basis. The package for your distro is specifically specifying a particular version, and when this happens, the server currently assumes it should not be customized.

Luke, my Debian only ffmpeg 2.2.1 installed and I have to set a custom path to 3.1.6 to get ffmpeg working with the UWP Emby Theater version. But with the missing setting it's not possible anymore. Is there any config where I can hardcode the path? encoding.xml has a <EncoderAppPath> value, but it seems to be ignored. Edit: Uninstalling the system ffmpeg makes it appear again. Please consider adding this setting back. Edited December 24, 2016 by sualfred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n0ne 0 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 To use a different ffmpeg you can change the PATH in /etc/emby-server.conf: PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH I have ffmpeg and ffprobe in /usr/local/bin and this PATH will make emby choose those over the ones in /usr/bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
