v2.1.0-63-gce861ded doesn't start with "-d", config.xml not found about gerbera

Can you try with specifiy -c <fullpath to config file> and of course with -D

[udippel]

Sure. With full path it works, and debug without results in:

And:

$ ls -l /usr/share/gerbera/

$

Almost all files and subdirs there seem to be new.

Have you given it new locations? Without daemonization it doesn't look there, and finds the correct config.xml

... and if you wanted to narrow the problem down: 41 was starting up okay.

If I had had access to the intermediate iterations, like earlier, I would have already tried those in between to pinpoint to the flawed one.
