FFmpeg 5 or 6 for melco

[simoncn]

The issue with the Synology DSM version of FFmpeg not being able to transcode BBC radio streams is not caused by any differences between FFmpeg 4, 5 and 6. It is caused by Synology installing a deliberately crippled version of FFmpeg 4 as part of Synology DSM.

The FFmpeg 4 executable that MinimServer uses on Melco is not crippled in this way. It fully supports all features of MinimServer including all transcoding combinations. There are no changes in FFmpeg 5 or 6 that affect or improve the functionality or performance of MinimServer on Melco (or any other platform). Because of this, there is no option to install FFmpeg 5 or 6 on Melco.
