issue with ios and server

[tomk67 2]

hi,

 

i have installed mediabrowser today and have an issue with the ios MB Mobile. Streaming via Browser works like a charm but i cannot open a movie with the MB Mobile.

 

I get the following error log:

Is this a local confguration problem? I have tried it on 2 different windows 7 ultimate pc. If i copy the command into the windows command window i get the error : Invalid duration specification for itsoffset 0,001

 

Thanks for your help 

 

Best regards Thomas

can you attach the full log file?

i have tried some different commands and have found out that the following command works.

 

C:\Users\x\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ffmpeg\20140304\ffmpeg.exe -itsoffset "0.001"   -fflags genpts -i file:"V:\MediaBrowser\TV Series\x\Season 1\x-s01e01.avi" -map_metadata -1 -threads 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map -0:s -codec:v:0 libx264 -preset ultrafast -b:v 1170106 -maxrate (1170106*.80) -bufsize 1170106 -r 23.976 -vsync vfr -force_key_frames expr:if(isnan(prev_forced_t),gte(t,.1),gte(t,prev_forced_t+5)) -vf "scale=min(iw\,568):trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -sc_threshold 0 -codec:a:0 aac -strict experimental -ac 2 -ab 128000 -af "adelay=1,aresample=async=1" -hls_time 10 -start_number 0 -hls_list_size 1440 "V:\MediaBrowser\transcode\b2206069-95df-b07c-d8fb-8c599a945933.m3u8"  -threads 2 -vn -codec:a:0 libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 32000 -hls_time 10 -start_number 0 -hls_list_size 1440 "V:\MediaBrowser\transcode\b2206069-95df-b07c-d8fb-8c599a945933-low.m3u8"

 

so -itsoffset 0,001 does not work but itsoffset "0.001" works. Could that be a problem with austrian localisation on an english windows version?

 

best regards Thomas

[Luke 42077]

yes, exactly. nice work Thomas!

[Luke 42077]

it will be fixed in the next server release.

[tomk67 2]

Luke,

 

i have a second problem. The server deletes all mkv avi mp4 files in my media browser directory when i restart the server.

 

This happens two times this day - but not every time when i restart. This is really bad. 

 

I will try to investigate this.

 

best regards Thomas

[Luke 42077]

That's strange because we don't actually delete files unless you use the delete button

[tomk67 2]

ok i think i have found what the problem is. it was my fault but i think this is important to says! 

 

i have all my video files in :

 

v:\MediaBrowser\TVSeries\...

 

and the mistake i have made was that i have defined the "Server Cache Path" to v:\MediaBrowser. OK this was silly, but maybe you can make a remark in the webinterface that this is not a good idea. 

 

After i have changed this, the problem is gone and the server does not try to delete the files.

 

For me this is not really a problem because this is only for testing purposes, but if you have thousand of video files in the directory than they are gone.

 

greetings thomas

HI,

 

is there a release date for the next server release,

 

Or ist there any other workaround for this problem?

 

I cannot use iphone with the actual server release!

The issue is the , rather than the . the ffmpeg requires as you have stated. The only possible work around (prior to a new release) is to change the localization on you pc.

 

Control Panel -> Region and Language 

 

additional settings change the decimal symbol from a , to a  .

 

I think that should do it (I have not tested it but worth a shot) as a temp fix anyhow.

 

[tomk67 2]

hi tikuf,

 

i tried that 2 days ago. but i did'nt reboot the server after the changes in the localisation.

 

after a server reboot it works now, but I cannot really change the setting, because its my development machine.

 

so to everybody who has this problem:

 

change the localisation settings as shown above (if possible) and reboot the mediabrowser server!
