Update Serviio 2.4 -- FFMPEG Error

Hi,

I recently updated my serviio on 2.4 version. When i start the console i receive a messagge :"Cannot connect to the server, it doesnt' seem to be running"
I have not a clue what happened...

EDIT: I use a MAC Installation, and on my serviio.log i have this:

2024-08-04T08:16:51,025 ERROR [MediaServer] An unexpected error occurred. Ending the application. Message: FFMPEG not found. Serviio will not work properly.
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: null

When i try to start and stop serviio server on command line:

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.serviio.server.plist
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.serviio.server.plist

I see thi crash report of ffmpeg... How can i solve? THank You!

You might try a different version of FFMPEG. I only have a download link for the Windows version, so you might need to search the web for a Mac location.

I also tried uninstalling version 2.4 and reinstalling version 2.3.1 but I get the same error, how is this possible?

My guess is when 2.4 was uninstalled some bits remained. Again, I'm only familiar with the Windows version of Serviio, so no idea if the install puts different files in different places. When I uninstall a software package (of any type) I always make sure the install folder is completely gone. I've seen some uninstalls leave a folder with a few files, and when reinstalling those previous files might end up remaining.

FFMPEG is a single file that can be easily replaced. Any time I've done that I rename the original file before adding the new one, just so I could revert if needed. Where is FFMPEG stored on your Mac? I have no clue, so it's something you'd need to search for.

Solved. I simply replaced the original ffmpeg file with new one downloaded from internet. Thank you

Good work!
