To ensure flawless operation of Serviio, additional codecs and libraries must be installed not available in current Debian distribution. The packages containing the additional codecs and libraries can be installed from http://deb-multimedia.org.

For instructions how to install packages from http://deb-multimedia.org follow the the next steps.

Beware that Debian has decided to switch to libav http://www.libav.org. If you decide to use ffmpeg from deb-multimedia.org you can no longer use libav and programs relying on it.

Create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-multimedia.list and add one of the following lines according to your distribution:

testing

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free

or

deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free

unstable

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org unstable main non-free

or

deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org unstable main non-free

Next update your list of packages

apt-get update

and in first place install the deb-multimedia-keyring

apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring

This is a static compiled version of ffmpeg so there is no need to replace an mess up your system with a whole bunch of libraries from deb-multimedia.org.

Q: What does static mean?
A: This is a single fat binary which has no external dependencies to any libraries. There is no need to install anything except one package.

Create or modify the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.i-matrixx.list and add the following line

deb http://debian.i-matrixx.de ffmpeg-serviio main

and add the APT key with the following command

wget -O - http://debian.i-matrixx.de/52CE883E.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Next update your list of packages

apt-get update

and install the ffmpeg-serviio package.

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

Installation of binary packages from unknown sources is strongly discouraged.
