FFmpeg Transcoding - permission denied

[rowin]

My biggest question is what is forcing you to log in to the WHS machine if Mezzmo is installed on it?

Sorry, i don´t understand this question; if Mezzmo is installed on the WHS, how could I run the program (not the media-server), without being logged in to the WHS? I don´t understand what you want to tell me. If I want to see the Mezzmo surface, I have to run the progam where it is installed?!? How could I work with Mezzmo and browse the media-files without beein on the device, where Mezzmo is installed?

Secondly, it sounds like a network sharing issue and you likely have some permissions issues from your network.

Yes, it looks like, but only with FFmpeg´s Transcoding :-)

Have you been through this article to make sure Mezzmo has the proper permissions to stream remote files:

I can see all my folders, and I do have access to all of them. Also Mezzmo has! In Mezzmo I can see all of my media-data and browse it. But transcoding does not work. FFmpeg failes.
Everything works fine, as long as Mezzmo and the media-files are on the same device; both on the Laptop or both on the WHS.

I am sure, it is a permission issue; but how can I tell FFmpeg about that?
The linked article does not describe my problem, I think; or I can´t see it. The only difference was the checkbox 'Replace all child object permissions...", which is checked now.
But still the same:

"\\WHS-SERVER\Folder\name.avi: Permission denied

<MEZZMO>: Child process ended with code: 109, ExitCode=1"

in the FFmpeg logfile.

Thanks for your patience.

If you haven't changed anything, I suspect the Mezzmo service is running under the "Local System" account on your laptop. I would guess that it is launching FFmpeg with the same account. I would also guess that the "Local System" account does not have access to the network share on the WHS server.

You could confirm this in two ways. You can configure the Mezzmo service to run as the user account you are using to login, see Windows > Services). Alternatively you can provide read access to "Everybody" & "Guests" to the files on the WHS server.

Yes, you are right.
You confirmed my guess and also gave me the solution at the same time.
I configured Mezzmo to run on my user account - transcoding works and everything ist fine

Happy easter and thanks a lot,
