how to uninstall minimserver on synology?

[psme]

I'm helping a friend install minimserver on a synology DS2411+. Friend has almost 6000 albums and over 80000 songs! There was some issue so I turn on "trace" log level but now minimWatch on PC won't respond! Maybe the log window overflow!

So I'm thinking uninstall minimserver and reinstall and only give it a few albums to test. But how to uninstall minimserver package on the synology? I see that other package has a "more" option and there is a "uninstall" button in that. But there is no "more" option in minimServer area in synology web admin.

....please help!

Have you tried closing MinimWatch on the PC and restarting it? After doing this, you should be able to show the log window and disable Trace? Does this work?

If the new instance of MinimWatch is hung as well, this means the hang is caused by a problem in MinimServer on the Synology. To solve this, you need to reboot the Synology. This will display a yellow MinimWatch icon when MinimServer starts scanning your files. As soon as you see this yellow icon, you should be able to select 'Stop'. The icon will change to white, and you should be able to use MinimWatch to disable Trace and/or choose a different content directory to scan, then press 'Restart'.

By doing the above, you should be able to resolve the problem without reinstalling MinimServer.

Hi, just fyi: if your friend runs the latest DSM 4.1, you have to do the following to perform a fresh install:

1) Uninstall MinimServer
2) Manually delete the directory /homes/minimserver (You can use the DSM file station to do this, when you are logged in as admin)
3) Reinstall MinimServer

Step 2) is necessary due to a change Synology made in the latest firmware. This wont be necessary anymore with the next upcoming version of the package.

Thanks for all the help! All works now!

The problem was, some songs play, some wouldn't. And some times later, those wouldn't play would play, but played song won't play. It just so random! After 2 days of troubleshoot, someone suggested there may be a IP address problem. The BIG synology was config in static IP. So we changed it to DHCP. Then all works!
