I have not had issues with my QNAP NAS although I didn't install any additional files. My Raspberry PI however doesn't have it. I understand you run one as well; how did you get ffmpeg on it? Thanks, Rene.

For the Raspberry Pi, I would recommend installing the libav-tools package using

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libav-tools

and setting the stream.converter property to avconv. This is because ffmpeg is a deprecated package on Debian/Raspbian.

I tried this but message says ffmpeg has replaced avconv in Buster lite. That's good but can you help me with ssh commands to put it in the opt/bin directory of the <minim-home> directory. I have minimserver running on a raspberry pi 3B+. I would like to use Replaygain as I did successfully when I ran minimserver on a Mac. That had a GUI and putting ffmpeg in opt/bin was relatively easy - once I'd found hidden folders
Thanks
