I have trouble making transcoding to work in my installation. The idea is to enable gapless playback on my Denon renderer for all music. My Denon supports gapless playback just for lossless media (like flac), so I figured by transcoding to lossless I enjoy gapless for everything. I installed ffmpeg as the converter. I installed MinimStreamer. In the properties of MinimWatch I see the additional property stream.converter, which was automatically set to ffmpeg. I have tried different values for stream.transcode, *:L24, *:L16, *:wav. There is no error-message when I apply the configuration. I restarted MinimServer several times. I tested with BubbleUPnP as renderer, which in each case still shows the original format in the metadata of various media (for example mp3 or flac). Also, when I playback, the original format is shown. So I assume no transcoding is taking place? Logging is showing nothing special. Is there anything missing in my configuration?
Thanks,

The * input type isn't doing what you think it is. It is used only for network streams of unspecified type, as described in
this section. For local files, you need to specify mp3:wav24, flac:wav24 and so on.
