You just need to run MinimWatch on the PC and get this working correctly. For this you will need to update your Windows firewall settings (assuming this is what is causing the "grey icon" problem).

Thanks Simon, I'll give that a go.

Thanks Simon, I think the problem is now resolved.
I uninstalled the version of Minimserver on my PC as advised. (I had forgot the PC version was still installed as I was using Minimserver before purchasing the Melco)
In respect of Minimwatch and starting Minimserver I used the Melco OLED to navigate to Media Server App and then selected Minimserver. This appears to have "kick-started" Minimserver as the icon on the PC turned the usual yellow and then green. Minimserver now appearing on Control Point and music now accessible again.
Thanks again.

Thanks for letting me know. MinimServer on the Melco should not normally need to be "kickstarted" as you have done (unless you had changed the setting for Media Server App). It is possible that this could happen in some error situations.
