Minimsever is not seen by my Stereo after a "soft" power cycle
Hello,

I have a Fusion MS-RA770 marine stereo (my wife and I live on a sailboat) and it is ethernet connected to my LAN on which there is a Synology NAS which is running MinimServer.

My Fusion radio can be powered on/off via its touchscreen, and it is normally how we power the device on and off. The other option, since we are on a boat, is to flip the DC breaker which provides power to the Stereo.

The discovery and communication behavior depends on the power-cycling type I use.

If I power-up from fully off (no DC power), then the Fusion discovers the MinimServer and they communicate; I can browse and play music no problem.

If I power off the radio with the touchscreen (which is likely really a low power sleep) and then power the radio back on hours later, the MinimServer is still listed as a source, I can click it, but as soon as I try to browse the available media, nothing is found and then going back to the source menu shows no DLNA source anymore. Note, it is possible that it still shows up simply because if was the last i input used.

It would be easy to pass this off as some anomaly of the stereo, however, when I used to use Synology's built-in Media Server, this never happened. As an aside, I switched to MinimServer because the MediaServer would eventually becomes very slow to browse through our music collection making it painful to use.

I am trying to do some additional testing to see how long the stereo has to be in "soft power off" mode for this to occur and maybe I can corelate this time with something.

I am also using
Code:
sudo tcpdump -i any -nn -s 0 -A 'udp port 1900 or (host 10.0.0.4 and tcp)'
to see if I can figure out how this discovery / re-discovery is affecting this.

I'd be happy to hear of anyone else's thoughts or pointers and will report back with my findings on the timing.

Thanks,
Mike
