Current Status Monitor - noworries - 16-07-2023 21:49
I'm looking for a way to monitor the current status of MinimServer on a Synology NAS.
Ex: I would like to see the file being played, the native bitrate and the output bitrate, etc., while the file is being played.
My endpoint does not display this information.
I have MinimWatch installed and cannot find a way to do this.
Any help appreciated.

MinimServer and MinimWatch don't provide any way to do this.
In most UPnP setups, this information is available from the UPnP control point and/or renderer. There are technical issues with providing this information from a UPnP server because some requests to the server to read a file might be to extract embedded album art or other information about the audio data rather than playing the audio. Also, buffering in the renderer can cause file streaming from the server to finish a long time before the audio has finished playing. Only the control point and renderer have correct information in real time about which file is playing.
