Profile Settings Confusion

[AnnieBody]

Hi
I have a profile 'Headphones HD650 Impulse' which includes a convolution setting.
When I look at the 'http://10.27.1.97:9790/properties-system.html' for settings there are none displayed for the convolution. #1
   
In 'Task Bar | Properties' there are none displayed either. #2
   
The correct profile is selected. #3
   
The profile details are included. #4
   
As there are transcode and stream options in the attached profile, why are they not being listed?
Are they being utilised?

If you select the View tab under Profiles, what do you see for the 'Headphones HD650 Impulse' profile? Also, does the View tab show this as the current active profile?

[AnnieBody]

See attached. The last two lines are not listed!
If I add a serious bass boost convolver, it does appear to work.

It seems that some of the settings in the 'Headphones HD650 Impulse.profile' file were not applied when you selected the profile 'Headphones HD650 Impulse'. Is it possible that you have different versions of this file in different locations and the profile file you selected (in the MinimServer\data folder) did not contain the additional lines?

[AnnieBody]

I understand your querying whether I am using the correct links, and there might be some confusion on my part so I deleted the profile, checked the included content, then reimported.

   
   
   

Now I get an error when first imported but not thereafter.
   

The convolver and transcode settings have been applied after receiving forum feedback.
So my next question is how do I resolve the error?

[simoncn]

The settings for stream.options and stream.transcode in this profile require a stream converter program (ffmpeg.exe). These error messages mean that either you have not downloaded ffmpeg.exe or you have downloaded ffmpeg.exe but MinimStreamer is unable to locate it. For more information about this, see this section.

Have you downloaded ffmpeg.exe from one of the download sites on this page? If so, where did you put the ffmpeg.exe file?

[AnnieBody]

Installed in accordance with previously provided instructions:

Thanks for this information. MinimStreamer cannot find the ffmpeg.exe file because it is in the wrong location. The ffmpeg.exe file should be in the MinimServer/opt/bin folder, not the MinimServer/opt/bin/ffmpeg folder. To fix this, do the following:

1) Move the ffmpeg.exe file to the MinimServer/opt/bin folder
2) Restart MinimServer
3) Check to make sure the stream.converter property is showing opt/bin/ffmpeg
4) From the Profiles tab of the MinimServer configuration web page, delete the 'Headphones HD650 Impulse' profile
5) From the Profiles tab of the MinimServer configuration web page, reimport the 'Headphones HD650 Impulse' profile

The profile should be imported with no error messages and should be active and working.

[AnnieBody]

Nearly there!
Did as you suggested:
moved the ffmpeg file
deleted the profile
added 'stream.converter = C:\Internet\MinimServer\opt\bin\ffmpeg.exe' to the profile
   

imported the new profile
reports "successfully" but when I select it I get the error
   

(first tried using the stream.converter with quotes as per stream.options and got worse issues!)

[simoncn]

If you have put ffmpeg.exe in the MinimServer\opt\bin folder, you don't need to set the stream.converter property in your profile and this is not recommended. When MinimStreamer is started, it automatically looks for ffmpeg.exe in the MinimServer\opt\bin folder and sets the appropriate value in the stream.converter property if it finds ffmpeg.exe there.

The error message you are seeing now suggests there is some problem with the convolution file you have specified. Please attach this convolution file to a post here so that I can investigate further.
