[SOLVED] Online sources: Invalid Media on Debian...

Hi,

I can't add online source to Serviio server installed on Debian, but exactly the same URL works on Serviio for Windows.
Validation (Check stream URL) fails and exception appears in logs when I try to add it.

I think that the problem may be connected with special characters in URL: & and @ but I already tried to escape them.
I also noticed error during ffmpeg -i command: "At least one output file must be specified" but not sure if it can affect validation.

RTMP Source (example):

  Code:

rtmp://any.domain.tv:80/live/stream?user=anyuser@mail.com&pass=secretpasswordstring swfUrl=http://any.domain.tv/flowplayer.swf pageUrl=http://any.domain.tv live=1

Any help will be appreciated

I think it's due to the FFmpeg being too new for 1.4, it doesn't support 'live_flv' container yet. 1.5 will fix that. So either wait for that or build ffmpeg from the sources provided on the Serviio download page.

Hi,

thanks for reply.
Indeed, it's a ffmpeg issue.

I tried with another 2 ffmpeg versions and:
- it worked with:

So I have to downgrade my version.
Once again many thanks!

1.5 is out, so give that a try

1.5 finally solves the issue. Streams are playable even on Samsung H-series.
Thank you.
