Minimwatch Grey Icon

[entdgc]

Hi Simon,
Longterm user of Minimserver with an odd problem. I came home from holiday and Minimwatch on both my PC and Mac are showing grey even though Minimserver on QNAP is running perfectly.
I believe I have tried all the usual suspects, checked Java is in the allowed list, turned off Windows Defender (no other security running), checked OhNet address is correct.... Nothing changes.
I have added the Minimwatch log file from my PC - I notice there is a line which says "14:42:14.285 Thread-14: exception from in.readLine: java.io.IOException: The handle is invalid" which looks a bit suspicious?
FYI...

JAVA JRE-1.8

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Dave

PS I notice in Windows Defender I have a long list of allowed versions of JAVA but I cant find anyway of removing old ones from the list - can this be done?

The message about readLine is normal. Most common causes of this problem are ruled out because the problem is affecting MinimWatch on both your PC and your Mac.

I suggest you power off all your network equipment (PC, Mac, QNAP, router, any switches) and then power everything on again in the order described in this section. The PC and Mac should be powered on last. This often fixes unexplained network discovery issues.

Thanks Simon, Rebooted the NAS overnight and all working again today. Odd that streaming worked but connection to Minimwatch didn't but all sorted now.
Keep up the great work.
