Serviio

Hi - new here. I have been trying for years to get a transcoder to work with DirecTV, but no luck. TVersity and iSedora have failed completely. Now trying with Serviio. Serviio works OK with my Sony Blu-ray (movies freeze once in a while), but I still cannot get any success with DirecTV. I changed the DirecTV profile to the suggested modded version, but still no luck. I get the following errors in the log:

2011-12-04 22:17:23,106 WARN [ProcessExecutor] Process cmd has a return code of 1! This is a possible error.

I'm guessing it has something to do with how ffmpeg is talking to the DVR, but I've no idea what that might be. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

A- Turn on detailed logging (see link) you should be able to see the FFmpeg command that is used for the transcode. Try executing the command manually in a terminal window and post the (error) result here.
