Partially Installed MinimStreamer

[simoncn]

If the fields appear (empty or non-empty), MinimStreamer has been installed correctly.

The stream.converter field is populated automatically if MinimStreamer finds a copy of ffmpeg. The will be the case on most NAS installations. On a Mac, you need to download an ffmpeg static binary (see this page) and manually set the stream.converter property to the absolute path location of this static binary. For example, if you have downloaded the ffmpeg binary to your Downloads folder, you need to set the stream.converter property to /Users/your-user-name/Downloads/ffmpeg.

After doing this, you need to set the stream.transcode property. For transcoding Apple Lossless to WAV, the setting is alac:wav. To make sure your control point is using this transcoding setting, it is a good idea to restart MinimServer by selecting Restart from the minim icon on the menu bar.
