Profile Settings Confusion

[simoncn]

The error messages you have posted indicate that ffmpeg.exe has not been installed in the correct opt/bin folder.

On Windows, the opt/bin folder is created when MinimStreamer (not MinimServer) is installed and started. On Windows, the full path of this folder is

C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\MinimServer\opt\bin

where your-user-name is the user name of the account that was used to install MinimServer.

To resolve the error messages you are seeing, you need to locate this folder and copy ffmpeg.exe into it, then stop and restart MinimServer. After doing this, open the MinimServer configuration web page, select the MinimStreamer > Properties tab and check that the stream.transcode property has been set to opt/bin/ffmpeg. It is important that you confirm this property setting before you select any profiles that require ffmpeg to be installed.

Regarding your question about two 'bin' folders, the folder

C:\Program Files\MinimServer\bin

contains executable files that are part of MinimServer. You should not add other executables to this folder. The opt/bin folder (see above) is used for additional executables that the user can install for use by MinimServer or MinimStreamer. At present, the only such executable is ffmpeg.exe.

The file ohnet(windows)-1.33.4785.zip is an internal component of MinimServer. It is packaged as a zip file and MinimServer extracts files from within it as needed. You should not unzip this file.
