Internal server error

[Tony-S]

Greetings, I just learned about NPVR and it looks very exciting to me. Unfortunately, after scanning the channels on my HDHomeRun Extend, when I click on a channel I get this error message:

Error starting transcode: error: Internal Server Error

I have installed 64 bit ffmpeg (from lame.buanzo.org) but when I open Activity Monitor it does not appear on the list of running apps. Does ffmpeg need to be manually attached to NPVR in some way? Or does it need to be launched from terminal?

I'm using FireFox for my browser.

Thanks for any help.

Use the 'log files' button to collect the log zip file, and post it.

If your run "ffmpeg" from the terminal, does it find it in the path on your machine?

OK, I sorted it out. I had to manually copy ffmpeg to /usr/local/bin (OS X Catalina) and now it's working.
