How to lower the volume from minimserver

[simoncn]

You could transcode everything to WAV using MinimStreamer and use the convOut setting in stream.options to reduce the volume. It seems unlikely that this would produce better results than using the LUMIN volume control but it might be worth a try.

To reduce the volume by 10 dB, the setting would be:

convOut=-af volume=-10dB

Make sure you spell dB correctly (lower-case d, upper-case B).

Also, if you are playing FLAC files, you need to set flac:wav; (semicolon at end) in stream.transcode rather than flac:wav. The semicolon at the end tells MinimStreamer to use an external converter program (ffmpeg or avconv) instead of the internal converter in MinimStreamer.
