update ffmpeg on QNAP
Should I update ffmpeg on my QNAP?
My QNAP is running version 0.8.10 and I can see version 3.1.3 is available. Does version 3.1.3 provide any benefits for transcoding? How can update the ffmpeg module? Thanks, Chip |

RE: update ffmpeg on QNAP
The 0.8.10 version of ffmpeg is very old. You can update your MinimServer configuration to use the 2.8 version of ffmpeg by puttting the following into the stream.converter property:
/mnt/ext/opt/medialibrary/bin/ffmpeg There is no simple way to use a later version than this. |

RE: update ffmpeg on QNAP
I have two copies of the old version.
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -version ffmpeg version 0.8.10, Copyright © 2000-2011 the FFmpeg developers /mnt/ext/opt/ffmpeg/usr/bin/ffmpeg -version ffmpeg version 0.8.10, Copyright © 2000-2011 the FFmpeg developers And I have found two newer versions on my QNAP. /mnt/ext/opt/medialibrary/bin/ffmpeg -version ffmpeg version 2.8 Copyright © 2000-2015 the FFmpeg developers /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Qffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg -version ffmpeg version 3.1.3 Copyright © 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers Should I use 2.8 or 3.1.3? Any advantage to either? |

RE: update ffmpeg on QNAP
I wasn't aware of the Qffmpeg package. Thanks for letting me know about this. I can't try it myself because my NAS is an ARM model. I don't know of any reason to use 3.1.3 instead of 2.8 but it shouldn't do any harm.

RE: update ffmpeg on QNAP
I was given this link from QNAP Support.
https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?t=109648 So I can use: /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Qffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg in "stream.transcode" property and restart MinimServer to activate 3.1.3? Is this correct? If yes, I will try it later today. |

Yes, this will change your ffmpeg version to 3.1.3.

RE: update ffmpeg on QNAP
Hi,
I added /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Qffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg to stream.transcode and restarted MinimServer. Can I confirm in the log file that this is the version actually being used? Chip |

RE: update ffmpeg on QNAP
The log file does not give the ffmpeg version. You can be confident that MinimStreamer is doing the right thing.

RE: update ffmpeg on QNAP
Just for clarification,
I have downloaded ffmpeg from http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ to get the Soxr library, and installed it on my Synology (Intel one, DS415play) I have added /volume1/MinimServer/opt/bin/ffmpeg to stream.converter value, and convOut=-af aresample=resampler=soxr:precision=28 to stream.options now : if I read the user's guide : flac:wav24 does not use ffmpeg but flac:wav24; does, because of the ; is this correct ? |
