Lumin problem - calloway - 18-04-2017 12:29
I am currently using the 0.83 version of Minim. I am having a problem logging into Luminas it stays 'offline' and am wondering if upgrading to a newer version of Minim would help..If so ..which version and how to go about it..?.I might also add that I changed modem/routers yesterday to a new Century Link modem. Would that be the problem and if so..how to fix.

I have been having the same problem. Sometimes Lumin takes five minutes to find the room on my Akurate DS. I use it with a Melco, using that latest beta software and of course Minimserver. Same problem happens if I use Twonky. So I will not blame Minimserver!!
But whether it is the latest Linn firmware or the latest Melco firmware, I knoweth not. I am using an old iPad, which has been fine to date. My hunch is that the problem lies with Lumin. What are other people finding?

MinimServer 0.8.3 is no longer supported, so you should update to 0.8.4. If you still have the problem after doing this, please post back here and I will investigate further.
To update from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4 on a Mac, you can follow the instructions in this section.

PS, Calloway.
I do not know the Century Modem but you could just check that it has not seized the same address as something else on your system. I had that problem with a Netgear switch recently (Briain helped me confirm what was wrong).

Thanks for trying this. The next step is to look at the modem settings. What is the exact make and model of the CenturyLink modem? According to this page, there are many different kinds.

I may be talking at cross purposes here. Sorry to muddle things.
My problem here is that Lumin takes a long time to find my streamer. It remains on line and can take commands. But it says it cannot find a Lumin, and does not give me the option of choosing the "room" when I try to set it up. After a few minutes it invariably finds everything on its own. Anyone with this particular problem?
As I said, the problem happens with Twonky as well as Minimserver.
