[BUG] can't update with 2.6 from 2.0 about videostation-ffmpeg-patcher HOT 11 CLOSED

• Is the same video working using the web version of VideoStation ? Yes
• What are the video and audio codecs of the media file you're trying to play ? hvec/eac3 or h264/eac3
• What's your iPhone model name and which video player are you using to play the video ? iPhone13 mini/ios16.6.1, iPhone builtin player
• Are you 100% sure, it was working on your iPhone using the v2.6 ? I'm sure it was working with 2.0 until recently when my iPhone failed reading videos, even ones I could read before. I therefore went for an update to try to recover the service

NB: Video Station and AME have the auto-install set

realpath (GNU coreutils) 8.30

Hi,
I'm not sure to understand what you mean by "can't update to 2.6" something went wrong during update?

Or you mean the video is not working from your iphone after update ?

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

#2, the video is not working from my iphone after update
Patching with 2.6 showed only green/"Done" statuses

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Okay, then I have some questions :) :

• Is the same video working using the web version of VideoStation ?
• What are the video and audio codecs of the media file you're trying to play ?
• What's your iPhone model name and which video player are you using to play the video ?
• Are you 100% sure, it was working on your iPhone using the v2.6 ?

Could you also connect to your NAS using SSH, run the following command and give me the output please: realpath --version

Thanks for your feedback

Did you receive an update of the VideoStation iPhone app before it stopped working ?

It's very strange because if it was an issue with the wrapper, you would have the same issue when trying to play the videos using the web version.
It should not be the case, but I suspect the iPhone VideoStation's app is no longer using the NAS to transcode but directly gets the video buffer and transcodes it on your iPhone,, but it would make no sense for the app to work like this on a mobile device as it is consuming way more data...

I don't think it will change anything to your problem, but by any chance, could you try the following hotfix (#111 ):

• uninstall the patch : curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexPresso/VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher/main/patcher.sh | bash -s -- -a unpatch
• install the new patch curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexPresso/VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher/main/patcher.sh | bash -s -- -a patch -b fix_config_and_logs

[Edit:]

I'm sure it was working with 2.0 until recently when my iPhone failed reading videos, even ones I could read before. I therefore went for an update to try to recover the service

You mean it was working fine with the 2.0 wrapper and then just stopped working without changing anything about the wrapper and/or VideoStation ?

-a patch -b fix_config_and_logs

Done, but with no more luck

Yes, that's it

I tried to uninstall VS on DS and DS Video on my iPhone without success in reading videos ...

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Okay, so I'm sorry to tell you that the wrapper is not the cause of your issue :(
It's possible DS Video app on your iPhone is no longer using your NAS to transcode the video after an update, probably this one:

3.4.34 | sept. 2019
Fixed the issue where there might be problems downloading MP4 files

It could also be something else, but I'm sure about something based on the issue-report you provided: ffmpeg is not called on your NAS, otherwise there would be some logs in the issue-report.

I'm sorry but I can't do anything about it

ok thanks anyway for searching, I'll investigate on my side to see what I can find.

from videostation-ffmpeg-patcher.

Ok, found out the issue !

My nas was sending back a 400 The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port due to a mis-redirection of port 5000 to port internal 5001 in my router. My bad.

It was not a problem until recently and definitely not something linked to the patcher.

It works great now !

Aaah no worries, I'm glad if everything is working again :)
