RE: Melco using mounted NAS share - 9dIe2Hd0VGy3Pw0zYPYs - 12-02-2018 20:02

Hi Simon,
thanks fo your quick answer.
Usally I use these stream.options:
convOut=-af aresample=resampler=soxr:precision=28
and theses stream.transcode:
flac(44):wav24;176, flac(88):wav24;176, flac(176):wav24;176, flac:wav24;192
But for testing on Melco I just used stream.transcode:
flac:wav24
This option works for me.
But flac:wav24;192 is not working.
Is Soxr to be installed separatly?

Regards Jürgen

Are you sure you have ffmpeg installed? What does the stream.converter property say?


RE: Melco using mounted NAS share - 9dIe2Hd0VGy3Pw0zYPYs - 12-02-2018 22:48

The stream.coverter value is: opt/bin/ffmpeg
I installed ffmpeg as discribed, the ffpeg file is in the Minimserver directory under opt/bin.
I can't see whats wrongHuh


RE: Melco using mounted NAS share - simoncn - 12-02-2018 23:24

What do you mean by "flac:wav24;192 is not working"? What exactly happens when you specify this in stream.transcode?

I use a Linn Akurate DS an I choose the files from Melco (Minim) by Kinsky.
I had choosen one track (or album), I can see it in the playlist.
But the songs were not be played, after a short while it is skipped to the next song, without playing anything.
Usally this happens if a track is deletet or modified without rescanning minim.
But the songs are still there and with flac:wav they are played correctly.

Do you have Twonky running on the Melco as well as MinimServer? Twonky can consume a lot of CPU cycles and this might be interfering with ffmpeg. Try disabling Twonky using the instructions near the end of this section.

No, Twonky is diabled.

Are you sure you downloaded the armhf version of ffmpeg?


RE: Melco using mounted NAS share - 9dIe2Hd0VGy3Pw0zYPYs - 14-02-2018 17:41

I unpacked this package (armhf build: ffmpeg-release-armhf-32bit-static.tar.xz - md5) from https://www.johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ to the melco share.


RE: Melco using mounted NAS share - simoncn - 14-02-2018 18:02

Did you unpack the complete contents of the package to the MinimServer/opt/bin folder? You should only put the ffmpeg file in this folder. If you unpacked other files as well, it is a good idea to delete these from the MinimServer/opt/bin folder to save space in the Melco system partition.

Please produce a trace log by doing the following:

1) From the MinimWatch minim icon, select 'Show log'
2) In the log window, set the logging level to Trace
3) Leave the log window open
4) Browse to a song and try to play it (one song only)
5) In the log window, click 'Save as' to save a log file
6) Zip the log file (this step is important)
7) Attach the zipped log file to a post here
8) In the log window, set the logging level back to Info

I will look at the log file to see if there is any information about what might be causing the problem.
