MinimServer on WD My Book Live - Mihaylov - 12-09-2015 14:05
Whether it's possible to install MinimServer (MinimServer-0.8.3e-linux-ppc.tar.gz) on WD MBL? How to make it? How to install Java?

It may be dependent on which My Book Live model you are using. See this thread, which unfortunately is inconclusive.

I have WD MBL 2TB (model WDBACG0020HCH).

This should be possible using the instructions in this post. I think the My Book Live has a PowerPC processor, so the correct download would be MinimServer-0.8.3e-linux-ppc.tar.gz.

The configuration automatic startup of MinimServer by minimserver/bin/setup command was done. But unfortunately autostartup (after reboot of MBL) is not works. Therefore I use putty for startd command:
cd /minim-home/minimserver/minimserver-0.8.3e/bin
./startd

I upgraded the ffmpeg to version 2.8 (static build with DSD for Linux 2.6.32+ kernels from ffmpeg.org) but transcoding dsf->wav24;88 (or 176) is not works.

Are you getting the "Converter not compatible" message when you set dsf:wav24;88? If so, this means that the stream.converter property is pointing to an ffmpeg executable that doesn't contain the required support.

I checked the MinimStreamer code again and this is the message you will get if you change the stream.transcode property to a value that isn't compatible with a stream.converter property that was set previously. This means that the converter you are using doesn't have the necessary support for DSF to PCM conversion. Perhaps this support wasn't included when the ffmpeg executable was built.
RE: MinimServer on WD My Book Live - Mihaylov - 18-09-2015 10:09
You are right. But I didn't find the ffmpeg static build with dsd->wav support and I can not compile executable ffmpeg file from package (I haven't such experience).
