Hi Simon,

I was using Minim Streamer since months now with perfect results using transcoding to wav24..
Since some weeks I cannot play any song anymore.
I'm not sure if it happened after I upgraded my Linn DS to a new firmware as I'm also using the Synology Media-Server (less network-traffic for background music as no wav24).

I set MinimWatch to Debug and attached the log which was created after starting a song from Linn Kinsky.

Any help is appreciated.

Best regards

Claas

Which version and update of MinimServer and MinimStreamer are you running? You can get this information by selecting About from the minim icon.

From the debug log, It looks like you are using a Synology NAS to run MinimServer. Which model is this and what level of DSM is installed?

Please update to MinimStreamer 0.4.3 (just released). This should solve the problem.

Thanks very much for letting me know about this!

Thanks for the quick help.
Problem is solved.
Can you explain the reason why it didn't work?

I believe there was a change in MinimServer 0.8.2 that broke the way that MinimStreamer was detecting that it is running on a Synology. Synology DSM 4.3 has an old version of ffmpeg with nonstandard option spellings that requires special handling by MinimStreamer. As MinimStreamer did not detect that it was runnng on a Synology, it was not applying the necessary special treatment to its use of ffmpeg.

Ah yes, I remember the thing with ffmpeg.
Thanks for the explanation.
