If you clear all these settings and restart MinimServer, then play a BBC radio stream, do you still get the same message about the converter program?

Hi Simon.

I cleared the four properties above so they all have nothing in them.

However, when I click Apply the steam.converter 'resets' itself to ffmpeg.

When I select one of the BBC radio streams I get no sound but I do get the Yamaha app showing that the stream type is AAC - 44.1kHz.

I then went and set within the stream.options settings streamSize=2gb to see if that made a difference but it didn't, and after restarting it didn't make any difference.

I then went and set up the stream.transcode to aac:wav and restarted minimstreamer and the Yamaha app stopped showing the stream type - replacing it with --- which is weird, as I know the Yamaha is happy with wav as thats what I use to transcode my local files to from flac.

I then cleared them all to try again but as before, stream.converter automatically reset itself to ffmpeg but no sound or output.

Throughout all this I didn't see any messages regarding stream converter reset to 1.
