Transcoding probably not working

[Lavcat]

Hi! This is my first post. I've been using MinimServer starter edition for a few months. Recently I signed up for a trial edition so that I could play radio station streams. It took a bit of reading and study but I now have radio streaming working.

Since MinimStreamer supports transcoding, I wanted to explore what transcoding would do for me. Unfortunately I'm not sure transcoding is working.

I have MinimServer running on a QNAP TS-473A NAS with 32G memory. My renderer is a HoloAudio Red. My controller is JPLAY running on an iPad.

As far as I can tell I have ffmpeg installed. My stream.converter path is opt/bin/ffmpeg. I've tried various transcode properties for testing. Currently my transcode properties string is:

wav:wav24;96,mp3:wav24;96, flac:wav24;192, *:wav24;96

The reason I believe transcoding is not working is that my DAC, a NAD M51, displays the bitrate of the signal it receives and transcoding to a different bitrate does not change anything.

I have "debug" enabled for the MinimServer log but I don't see anything wrong.

I've stopped MinimServer and restarted, and rescanned the libraries. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
