Checked the log and have the following error:

"Streamer: test invocation of FFmpeg failed to complete"

Do I need to reinstall something following the update, or has the update broken something?

I am on the same firmware level and I'm not seeing this problem. This might happen if the CPU or HDD is very busy with other activity when MinimServer is started. You could try rebooting the NAS to see if this fixes it.

If you still get the problem after a reboot, log in to the NAS using SSH and type the command:

ffmpeg

What output do you get?

I had the very same error message two times right after updating the DSM firmware on my DS211. For me, stopping and starting MinimServer from the Synology package center fixed the problem.
