• Enable Minimserver in Snakeoil
  
• Update ffmpeg to version 4.1 under the hood
  
• On laptop, install Minimwatch, which monitors Minimserver instances
  
• Using Minimwatch, install Minimstreamer (Packages tab)
  
• Using Minimwatch, in System tab, follow Convolution instructions  to set up
  

Nice work! Apologies as I've been really slack on this (one man show makes it hard to balance everything).

I'll try and automate this in U5.

When I first posted in this thread, I mentioned that there was also a package for Convolution
https://convofs.net
I could not get this work (no audio) but perhaps this is a better all round solution which is supposed to work with other music players as well?

That will be U6 or later. Will have to rethink how player selection and configuration is working.

1. Enable Minimserver in SnakeOil (select in Activated version, install manually otherwise)
   
2. Install ffmpeg
   • Open Terminal in instance (or SSH into instance)
     
   • sudo apt update
     
   • sudo apt install software-properties-common
     
   • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-4
     
   • sudo apt install ffmpeg
     
   • ffmpeg -version (should be 4.1 or later)
     
3. Install Minimwatch on PC and run
   
4. Using Minimwatch/Properties, set up convolution
   
   
   In contentDir, set up music folders (which should have been setup in SnakeOil)
   
   
   Install Minimstreamer (screenshot shows completed process)
   
   
   Enter convolution parameters.  stream.converter should be ffmpeg.  Add in stream.options, stream.transcode, see Minimstreamer doc.  Note the semi colon in stream.transcode to convert flac to wav. Convolution works only for wav files and a semi colon forces transcoding to be done in ffmpeg.
   
5. To set the convolution filters, easiest is to follow this Roon guide. 
   
6. Will need a UPnP controller e.g. BubbleUPnP (Google Play) and a UPnP renderer.

There is also a package for Convolution

Can either be used to add Convolution to the Snakeoil environment, without a user having to go under the hood?

Great work @Snoopy8 .

I have several questions if you would be so kind as to indulge me.
Does Minimserver support vst so I can install https://www.homeaudiofidelity.com/english/plugin/
Does Minimserver support convolution of Tidal streaming?
If not what other Snakeoil OS supported player(s) support vst and Tidal?
Has the Minimserver ffmpeg install been automated yet?

Thank you!
