How to get FFmpeg on Unraid

[ebbot]

Hi

I built myself a budget NAS from spare and used parts. Fun hardware project, but software wise a pain... Tried Truenas and Openmediavault with mixed results. Finally settled on Unraid, mainly because Docker just works. Important if one want to run the best music server (Minim of course). However, I struggled with getting FFmpeg to play nice. I think it turned out to be a path setting, I am not sure but now it works!

You don't need to edit the /boot/config/go file. Instead, copy the path to where you installed FFmpeg and paste it into Minim stream.converter properties, and into Unraids Minim container editor (see pic.)

You may have to config Minimserver again after that.
That's it, Minim works like a charm and everybody's happy

After your post, I tried MinimServer on unRaid again (as a backup for my Melco). The remaining problem is that the settings do not survive a reboot. My app data path /minimerver does not seem to be correct. How did you solve this?
