/opt/ffmpeg/ffmpeg path already in use by Entware - z624391 - 30-01-2026 17:47
Implementing a different converter the fixed path /opt/ffmpeg/ffmpeg is already in use by Entware. Other path values are not accepted.
What is the alternate solution here? /opt/bin is not available because it is overruled by the opt link is pointing to /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Entware.

You can use any path in the stream.converter property as long as the filename (final component) is ffmpeg.
Alternatively you can place your preferred version of ffmpeg in the minimserver/opt/bin directory (not the /opt/bin directory).
If you don't do either of these, MinimStreamer searches your PATH directories for an ffmpeg executable.

Thx, I changed the "/opt/ffmpeg/ffmpeg" link into the complete path "/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg", both refering to the same location.
I've got 2 QNAP NAS (1 contains all data and 1 contains (also) all music files only which is close to my Linn Akurate connected thru hi-end switch, cables and clock) where MinimServer is running on and the data NAS was resulted in a error.
Problem is not very critical but I always like to know the root cause.
Maybe you can add a description like stream.options field syntax is “<path>/ffmpeg”.
