Can't save stream properties

[theo]

Hi, I'm test-driving minimserver and wanted to look at minimstreamer. I got a trial license and it's installed. Running all of it in a docker container. But for whatever reason I can't save streamer properties. I wanted to add the path to ffmpeg like /opt/minimserver/opt/bin/ffmpeg (I got version 6.1.1-3ubuntu5+esm10) and a transcode property as well. It doesn't let me save it. What am I missing?

Thanks guys, most likely a stupid newbie thing.

Hi,
this is likely a problem with the path or directory of the converter; when saving, the application checks if the converter is located in the specified directory. If not, the input is highlighted in red and cannot be saved.

I also use Docker, but on a QNAP NAS (Linux), and I use the following path: opt/bin/ffmpeg.

I mount it like so in compose, wrong?
- /usr/bin/ffmpeg:/opt/minimserver/opt/bin/ffmpeg:ro

I got it working thanks for the pointer, I had to download an extra ffmpeg version, it's now mounted here
- ./opt/bin:/opt/minimserver/opt/bin:ro
And I could save it

Glad to hear;

I'm glad to hear the problem is solved. There should be an error message as well as the red highlighting but the message isn't showing because of a bug in MinimServer update 274. This will be fixed in the next update.
