Installing FFmpeg on a ReadyNAS Duo

[DavidHB]

With the release of MinimStreamer 0.5, I think it is worth reviving this thread, to check whether the situation described above has changed materially.

The MinimStreamer User Guide now states that

"As an alternative to putting the avconv or ffmpeg program in one of the directories in the PATH environment variable, you can set the stream.converter property to the absolute path of the avconv or ffmpeg program. "

This seems to get round one of the main problems associated with installing FFmpeg on my ReadyNAS Duo. Now, hopefully, I can just download the package, unzip the file, copy the contents to an accessible folder on my NAS and reference that location in the stream.converter property.

Is this approach likely to work? If so, which FFmpeg package should I download?
