Transcoding on Windows pc
I couldn't find any guideline on how to install the transcoder hence my post...
I successfully installed the minimserver and minimstreamer on a windows pc but I didn't find how to get ffmpeg installed/working. I downloaded a version from 'Zeranoe FFmpeg builds' but have no idea where to unpack this to make it work. In the system tab (Minimwatch), I added 'ffmpeg' as stream.convertor property. I also tried to copy the path to it... Any suggestions ? |

You then need to open Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables > System variables and edit the Path variable to add the folder containing the ffmpeg.exe file (this folder is likely to end in \bin). After doing this, you can check your Path setting by opening a new command window and typing 'ffmpeg'. If your Path setting is correct, you should see something like this: Code: ffmpeg version N-59480-g8feaa83 Copyright (c) 2000-2014 the FFmpeg developers If you see this output, you should be able to set the stream.converter property to 'ffmpeg' without getting an error message, |

Please try exiting MinimServer (by selecting Exit from the minim icon) and restarting it. After you have changed the Path value, MinimServer needs to be restarted to pick up the new value. |
