Activate MinimStreamer without MinimWatch

[Music-Guy]

Hello,

is there a way to activate the MinimStreamer module without using MinimWatch?

You can use command scripting (see this section). You need the 'install' command.

Didn't get it working.
Tried

Code:

mscript -c install minimstreamer

but that didn't work.

What is the right way doing this?

The install command needs a package name. For the current version of MinimStreamer, the package name is minimstreamer-2.0.9. Also, the command needs to be enclosed in quotes, so you should use this:

mscript -c "install minimstreamer-2.0.9"

This gave me this error:

Code:

Package license was not accepted.

When you install MinimStreamer for the first time, you are prompted to accept the MinimStreamer license. When using MinimWatch to do the install, this is done by a pop-up dialog or a console prompt. If you are using mscript to do the install, neither of these is possible and this is why you are getting this error message.

To work around this problem, you can exit MinimServer and then start MinimServer in console mode by entering the command:

minimserver/bin/startc

From the console command prompt, you can enter the 'install' command and you will be prompted to accept the license. After accepting the license, type 'exit' at the console prompt and then restart MinimServer normally.

Im running MinimServer in the Docker-variant.
when I stop MinimServer, with /opt/minimserver/bin/stoppall the whole container stops and I'm not able to run startc or mscript.

In this situation, I think you will need to use MinimWatch. If it helps, you can run MinimWatch as a command-line application by using minimwatch/bin/startc.
