Mac OS X ffmpeg not found because of wrong location

Hi!

I 've recently downloaded and installed v.1.4.1.2 for Mac OS X.

When using the MediaBrowser to watch something I was getting the 200 Media Stream not found error.

Turning debug logging on showed that ffmpeg.exe could not be found.

The reason was because it was trying to find it under: /Applications/Serviio.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lib/ffmpeg.exe

Searching the Serviio.app directory revealed that there is an "ffmpeg" file under: Applications/Serviio.app/Contents/MacOS/ffmpeg

Therefore I 've create the "lib" directory under: /Applications/Serviio.app/Contents/Resources/Java

since there is one there called "library" but not "lib" and linked inside that directory the ffmpeg to the requested ffmpeg.exe.

After that the MediaBrowser was able to find and play the stream.

I believe that this is a bug and could you please verify it and fix it at the next release?

Best regards,

G. Dimitrakakis
