The player is wired... But there are mobile control point apps. And I am not sure that ethernet connection will help, it is the same router.

Somehow, after some network tweaking, it now works with eero router, although I cannot say why. If you have a similar problem, try eero customer support, they are very responsive and can do more tweaks than the user interface allows. It is a bit annoying that they have a backdoor that I cannot control, but I choose not to mind this for now and the wifi mesh works well.
Anyway, for a small token of contribution, here is my rc script which can do start and stop and looks more compliant with the rc.conf standard:
Code:

${minimserver_path}/bin/stopall
}
load_rc_config ${name}
run_rc_command "$1"Finally, the minimserver/bin/stopall will not work if you have an instance started from rc.conf because it is not attached to terminal. Therefore, I added -x option to the ps command options PSOPT there:

I'm happy it works for you now!

Awesome! I will update my guide to include this improvement after testing. Same goes for the other suggestion of yours regarding PSOPT.

Update: I'm in the progress of re-building my jails with your suggested changes to test it later.
Just a question in between to @simoncn: Regarding the proposed change in the script "minimserver/bin/stopall" - wouldn't it make sense to include that specific change into the official version of minimserver?
RE: [Tutorial] Installing MinimServer on FreeNAS or FreeBSD - simoncn - 09-02-2020 15:35
No, because the -x option of the ps command is specific to BSD and causes an error when running on Linux.

Are you sure? -x is called 'BSD syntax' in the man page but works on Linux systems I have seen and seems to be there on Debian at my work. You could check for $(uname) to be sure. And by the way Darwin / Mac OSX is also a BSD style system and most likely needs the -x.
RE: [Tutorial] Installing MinimServer on FreeNAS or FreeBSD - simoncn - 09-02-2020 22:16
I am sure that it does not work on my Linux system. It returns an error saying that -x is an invalid option.
The stopall script is not part of the MinimServer installation on macOS, only on Linux.

When testing your suggested improvements, I found that
Code:
. /usr/local/etc/gnome.subrdoes not work and seems to not be needed, so I removed it.
Also, when I start the service now, I get the following error-message:
Code:
root@services-ext:~ # service minimserver start
Starting minimserver.
Failed to start MinimServerApart from this message, I cannot find any problem in the minimserver-log and it works fine. So I incorporated the improvements in the tutorial.

Yes, sorry, gnome.subr was definitely my garbage I overlooked.
I am not sure about the failed message. Are you sure that minimserver was not running? Does stop work?
RE: [Tutorial] Installing MinimServer on FreeNAS or FreeBSD - simoncn - 10-02-2020 22:49
I think the "Failed" message could be produced incorrectly if MinimServer is a bit slow to start. I will think about how to improve the check for this.
