You need to install either ffmpeg or avconv. These are very similar, so the choice comes down to which is simpler to install on the platform you're using to run MinimServer.

For Windows, it should be simpler to install ffmpeg. There are good clear instructions for doing this on this page. After following steps 1, 2 and 3, exit MinimServer by selecting Exit from the minim icon in the system tray, then relaunch MinimServer by double-clicking the desktop launch icon. You should now see 'ffmpeg' in the stream.converter fie

Thanks, done and now listening to the BBC Radio HLS streams!
