(I am a VMware nerd.) I do my installations logged in as root. I have tested the virtual machine under VMware's vSphere 6, Workstation 11, and Fusion 8.5. If you choose to use my optional RAM drive trick (towards the end) to speed up ffmpeg transcoding, you will be very glad you had 2 or more CPUs. You may be able to use less RAM, but I think a minimum of 2 CPU cores is important for smooth performance. I'm starting with a VMware virtual machine setup with 2048 MB of RAM, 2 virtual CPU cores, and a single NIC. With these instructions it's easy enough to build ffmpeg just the way you need it without opening yourself up to an anonymous source's choices that aren't appropriate for you. ![]() All the software installed in these instructions either comes from the official Ubuntu/Kubuntu repositories or from the developers' web sites. I avoid using third party repositories whenever possible. I also tested on a clean installation of Mint 18 using the Cinnamon desktop. ![]() ![]() Kubuntu is an official release of the Ubuntu project. This installation is based on Kubuntu 16.04. ![]() I am using the official KDE Ubuntu derivative Kubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit. First we check for Java 8, then we build and install ffmpeg with the necessary options enabled, and finally we install Serviio itself. There are three broad groups of actions to get Serviio up and running on Linux.
