Also, I want to add the relevant section of my UMS.conf file from the installation directory:

# ---< Binary tools paths >---------------------------------------------------
# Path to mencoder (absolute or relative from project.binaries.dir)
# Example: /usr/bin/mencoder
# Default:
#     Win: win32/mencoder.exe
#     Mac: osx/mencoder
#     Linux: mencoder + system PATH
mencoder_path =

# Path to ffmpeg (absolute or relative from project.binaries.dir)
# Example: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
# Default:
#     Win: win32/ffmpeg.exe
#     Mac: osx/ffmpeg
#     Linux: ffmpeg + system PATH
ffmpeg_path = /opt/ums/linux/ffmpeg

# Path to mplayer (absolute or relative from project.binaries.dir)
# Example: /usr/bin/mplayer
# Default:
#     Win: win32/mplayer.exe
#     Mac: osx/mplayer
#     Linux: mplayer + system PATH
mplayer_path =

# Path to tsMuxeR (absolute or relative from project.binaries.dir)
# Example: /usr/ums/linux/tsMuxeR
# Default:
#     Win: win32/tsMuxeR.exe
#     Mac: osx/tsMuxeR
#     Linux: tsMuxeR + system PATH
tsmuxer_path =

# Path to dcraw (absolute or relative from project.binaries.dir)
# Example: /usr/bin/dcraw
# Default:
#     Win: win32/dcrawMS.exe
#     Mac: osx/dcraw
#     Linux: dcraw + system PATH
dcraw_path =

The ffmpeg at that location returns:

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

I think I can see what is going wrong now.

I noticed everything is going to be transcoded which is what I was expecting but it is using the MEncoder engine. I don't think MEncoder can handle HLS transcoding so could be the cause.

Looking at your UMS.conf FFmpeg has a very low priority so will never get used

Code: Select all

engines = tsMuxeRVideo,VLCVideo,tsMuxeRAudio,VLCWebVideo,VLCVideoStreaming,MEncoderWebVideo,VLCAudioStreaming,DCRaw,youtubeDl,FFmpegWebVideo,DCRaw,youtubeDl,FFmpegVideo,FFmpegAudio,MEncoderVideo
engines_priority = MEncoderVideo,tsMuxeRVideo,VLCVideo,FFmpegVideo,FFmpegAudio,tsMuxeRAudio,FFmpegWebVideo,youtubeDl,VLCWebVideo,VLCVideoStreaming,MEncoderWebVideo,VLCAudioStreaming,DCRaw

Try changing it to this

Code: Select all

engines = FFmpegVideo,AviSynthFFmpeg,MEncoderVideo,AviSynthMEncoder,tsMuxeRVideo,VLCVideo,FFmpegAudio,tsMuxeRAudio,FFmpegWebVideo,VLCWebVideo,VLCVideoStreaming,MEncoderWebVideo,VLCAudioStreaming,DCRaw,youtubeDl
engines_priority = FFmpegVideo,AviSynthFFmpeg,MEncoderVideo,AviSynthMEncoder,tsMuxeRVideo,VLCVideo,FFmpegAudio,tsMuxeRAudio,FFmpegWebVideo,youtubeDl,VLCWebVideo,VLCVideoStreaming,MEncoderWebVideo,VLCAudioStreaming,DCRaw

and see if that fixes it.
