simple hls server - Streaming from local NAS - ffmpeg

I'm using FFMPEG to stream to a synology NAS, I cant open the files in VLC over the network. I assume its some sort of CIFS/SMB thing (edit: I think its actually the paths in the .m38u file). I don't really want to setup a nginx server. This is for local use.
Any thoughts on a lightweight solution?
Cheers in advance
Neil

So turns out that my problems stemmed from a bug playing .m3u8 files in vlc versions greater than 3.0.8

rolled back, and im now working through a nginx docker container.
Thanks anyway!

Windows Symlinks in Grunt Server

it seams I have a rather strange problem. I have a JS one Page application with a huge media pool. The media assets have a very short update cycle. Much shorter than the code base. So it has its own repository.
I have to develop the application on Windows OS and don't have the option of a VM solution. I created a symlink to the media folter but when I start up the GRUNT Server Task he can't find the media files. I think this is a Windows issue. When I open the index.html file with the file protocol I have the exact same problem. I have no idea why Windows can't just follow the symlink. I get a 404 no matter what I do. Has anyone ever had a problem like that and maybe a solution.
The projekt is also developed in a team so I don't want to put some kind of URL rewrite into the server configuration because it maybe wouldn't match the system of the other developers (but they also are on Windows).
Thanks for the help :)
The "mistake" was to go the simple way and create a symlink in the Windows UI by rightclicking.
By using the mklink command I was able to create a symlink that works perfectly with the Server
mklink /j <name> <target>
Thank you cartan for the help :D

PHPVIBE - video doesn't create the thumbnail

I have installed phpvibe4 on my surver my website name is surfoye.com I have enabled FFMPEG settings in the admin area, but still it doesn't create any video thumbnail and time duration after uploading any video from my computer.
if someone has experienced this please assist me. Thanks !
Install ffmpeg you can fix it or get a webhosting company which contains ffmpeg I recommend c-server.jp/en
Are you sure you have ffmpeg installed?
Are the paths edited well to your server's ffmpeg in phpvibe's admin?
Have you searched this in their forum, they have tens of topics.
You can also use the tester under their "Requirements".

Has anyone gotten a windows build of FFMPEG to publish to Akamai's CDN via RTMP?

I am trying to live stream a file to Akamai's servers via RTMP from flash and I cannot get past the authentication step even though I know I am using the right username and password (the credentials work in FMLE). I Have found some posts online but they are older and its difficult because no one ever reports what build of FFMPEG they are using.
Has anyone gotten this to work with Windows binaries?
you can try to use a build of ffmpeg with akamai auth support http://sinclairmediatech.com/building-ffmpeg-for-adobe-media-server-akamai-auth/

Problems with filezilla and ubuntu

I have a big problem with my FileZilla on my current Ubuntu 12.10 installation so its unusable. First of all some facts:
FileZilla works with my Router/WLan etc. setup on windows perfectly.
It even worked on Ubuntu before upgrading (allthough I'm not sure if it affects at first 12.04 or 12.10)
So the Problem I guess is related to my Ubuntu
The problems are the following:
it's slow
I often have connection timeouts while transfering a couple of files or often when changing directories
often files get transferred without their contents
furthermore if bigger uploads timeout or stop I cannot determine what has allready been uploaded because it does not seem to follow any order subdirectorywise.
I'm kind of a Linux beginner too so I have no idea what I can do about this. Hopefully anybody can help.
It seems that I encountered the same problem with you. It's all right using FileZilla on Windows, but unstable on Ubuntu. Frequent timeout after MSLD command occurred.
I solved the problem by using the ftp command instead. It's built-in and rather simple. You could also check if the ftp connection is OK in Ubuntu with this tool. If it is, then it might be something wrong with FileZilla. (I guess)
I wrote an article about this: http://pengwenqiang.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/the-usage-of-the-basic-ftp-command-in-linux/
Hope it helps.

How to put watermark on video using ffmpeg

So I installed ffmpeg etc and it seems to work ok but for some reason I don't have watermark.so on my server. I have a watermark.c in a folder called gpac_extra_libs. Maybe I missed something in the install, does anybody know what I need to do to get watermark.so on a Centos 5.x 64bit?
