issues with ffmpeg
Hello
I helped a friend who just switched to minimServer 2 He has a DS214 play Install went smoothly; until I installed minimstreamer. Then suddenly, he would not accept the ffmpeg downloaded from https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ the file ffmpeg-release-i686-static.tar.xz I put the ffmpeg file in /volume1/MinimServer/opt/bin/ It was working before, but now when I type in stream.converter this value /volume1/MinimServer/opt/bin/ffmpeg it says in red: "Converter not installed; correct value and retry" Surprisingly, when I put nothing in this field, it automatically replaces by ffmpeg, and I don't have anymore the red message. This is weird as I thought that by default it would use the ffmpeg downloaded Now, I know that it is using the synology ffmpeg because when I add in stream.options convOut=-af aresample=resampler=soxr:precision=33:cheby=1:dither_method=shibata then the red warning comes back... Which means that it is using the synology ffmpeg, not the one in /volume1/MinimServer/opt/bin/ffmpeg What am I doing wrong ? |

RE: issues with ffmpeg
FYI, the recommended setting is just opt/bin/ffmpeg (no need for /volume1/MinimServer). This shouldn't cause the problem you are seeing, though.
Are you sure you typed the path correctly (lower-case v in volume1)? Does the ffmpeg file that you downloaded from johnvansickle have execute permission set? This is required. If you type /volume1/MinimServer/opt/bin/ffmpeg in a terminal window, what happens? |

Will ask my friend to check. But again, it worked before switching to MinimServer V2... Anyway, will explore your recommendation. Most probably it is something on my side. Thx Simon |

RE: issues with ffmpeg
You need to add the execute permission to the ffmpeg file if not already present (check this with File Station).
Edit: File Station calls permission "privilege". To see it, you need to use the 3 dots menu at the top right and check Privilege. The ffmpeg file should have privilege rwxr-xr-x. |
