Transcoding HLS streams

[davidp]

Hi

I've been following the BBC Radio3 HD saga closely. I have tried to use Minimstreamer to transcode the new BBC HLS streams for either my Cambridge Audio NP30 or Stream Magic 6 players. I have successfully followed the instructions on your UPnP page but both players report No Media. I have the stream.converter tag set for ffmpeg (I use an ARM QNAP TS-412) and have tried both *:wav and *:L16 with no luck.

I've no idea if this is a Minimstreamer issue (doubt it), a Cambridge Audio issue or a QNAP/ffmpeg issue. I've tried making sense of the QNAP forum which simply seems to suggest that the latest ARM QNAPs don't have ffmpeg and that installing it eats precious CPU.

Advice welcome.
David
