Setting up MinimStreamer for SynoCommunity ffmpeg4

[simoncn]

The correct setting in stream.converter to use FFmpeg 4.4.4 is /var/packages/ffmpeg/target/bin/ffmpeg.

You are getting version 4.1.9 when you type ffmpeg because this version of ffmpeg is installed somewhere else in your PATH setting. On Linux (unlike Windows), typing ffmpeg does not look in the current directory first but searches the PATH directories. To be sure you are using the version in the current directory, you need to type type ./ffmpeg.

You are getting version 4.4.4 when you type ffmpeg4 because there is no other ffmpeg4 executable in your PATH that is taking priority over the version in your current directory.

You need to use an executable named ffmpeg in the stream.converter property so that MinimStreamer can detect this as an FFmpeg converter (not avconv).

When you have the stream.converter setting correct, you should set stream.transcode to aac:mp3.
