Have you installed FFmpeg in the Docker container?

What exactly does "can't get transcoding to work" mean? For example, is there an error message?

There is nothing AFAIK that can transcode 2x DSD to 1x DSD in real time. You will need to use an offline converter for this.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. I believe my problem is that I don't know how to get FFmpeg installed in Minim in the Docker container. I followed the instructions, installed v6 in Synology but stream.converter refuses the addresses in the guide. I also put the binary in the /bin folder, but Minim in Docker doesn't see these. Maybe I used the wrong binary?

I also tried installing an FFmpeg Docker container but that wasn't recognized and again, not sure I got the right container.

I don't see instruction on the "Running MinimServer 2 in a Docker container on a Synology NAS" page, or any of the Docker instructions. Unfortunately I'm needing a bit more guidance. Sorry.

Thanks for clarification on inability to go 2x to 1x DSD, that is a limitation that I can live with.
