cannot install minimserver

[sebassie]

hi,

i have a synology ds212+ and am trying to install minim server on it by using may mac.

first i downloaded the correct java package. then i downloaded MinimServer-0.8.3d-linux-x64.tar. as you can see it doesn't have the .tar.gz extension. when i tried to install this file in package center with manual installation i get a message that the file extension is not correct. the same message appears when i change the extension to .tar.gz

does anyone knows what to do?

thanks a lot
sebastian

thanks. that's it. i hope.
i didn't uncheck the open safe files box.
also i didn't remove the minim 0.72.2 version. am i correct that i have to remove this version and in the next screen i will have the possibility to select the option to back up the config? or do i have to back up this elsewhere?

Yes, you will be prompted to backup the config when you uninstall 0.72.2. It is important to remove 0.72.2 before you install 0.8.3b.

done.
and another question: how do i know which 0.8.3b i have to install? i tried MinimServer-0.8.3b-x86.spk but got a message that it isn't supported. i have java se embedded 7 installed. the same happens when i try to install the ARMv7.spk version. only when i install ARMv5.spk i get a message where i am asked to accept the license. if i do so i get a message in which the box to run is checked. if i continue a message appears that says that java is not installed or properly configured...

[sebassie]

yes. it's working!

the only thing i have to find out now is how to transcode to wav24. i already installed the minimstreamer 0.5.12. can anyone tell what to fill in instead of ffmpeg?

[sebassie]

everything is working properly now. thanks a lot, simon.
