dcook 299 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 On my Linux test server I am using the ffmpeg version that came with the Emby Installer. Is it advisable to use that version? Or should I goto https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ and install the latest? I am not having an issues, but looking for ways to increase performance.
Jdiesel 1431 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 I wouldn't recommend it. I've had the best luck with ffmpeg 2.8.11.
trifleneurotic 63 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 FWIW I'm using the latest from the site you mentioned (ffmpeg-git-20170301-64bit-static) and it's working great (I'm running on Fedora 21).
Jdiesel 1431 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) I've tried ffmpeg 3.2.* and had to revert back to 2.8.11 due to lots of small issues. The probe on live tv streams wasn't working resulting in my live tv streams being transcoded rather than copied like they should. Transcoding to the Android mobile app doesn't work and only results in a black screen. Everything works perfectly on 2.8.11. Edited March 17, 2017 by Jdiesel
terratec 0 Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 ffmpeg-git-20170301-64bit-static solves the android black screen issue with 3.2.* releases. Thank you.
Animosity022 6 Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Can always just build from source as well to as I find that to be nice as well. A few links on that: https://gist.github.com/joglomedia/2ee941ccedf6526f2fa5 https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu I modify to install in /usr/bin as that seems to play nice with emby
