The /Users/<your-user-name>/Library folder is hidden by the Finder, so you need to type this path into 'Go to Folder'. 12) You will see a file named minimwatch.log. Zip this file and post it as an attachment here. The minimwatch.log file should provide me with some clues about what is causing the problem. |

Still though, if I may influence your future product direction, please see if you can move more of the options to a web interface on the server running minimserver... |

(24-01-2014 21:45)Linn_agnostik Wrote: Wonder what this could be.. it almost seems like Java is waiting on something that never comes (and it does so silently) After accepting the EULA, did you get another message dialog saying that installing 0.3.9 would require removing 0.3.8? If so, did you click OK to agree to removing 0.3.8? This is important because it seems that Java is waiting for the OK response from this dialog. I am wondering if you did click OK and the OK event was received before the dialog was ready to handle it. Are you using a very fast or very slow machine, or was the machine heavily loaded with other activity? |

RE: MinimServer comparison with Synology Media Server
Yes, I did get that message, and have not been able to click on it, I get the spinning circle and thus haven't been able to conclude the installation.
Laptop is a stock 2.5 Ghz i5 8GB RAM rMacBook Pro, late 2012 running latest mavericks, 10.9.1, no heavy load on it (though uptime shows 3,6), just some chrome tabs and mail running.. |

It sounds like some lower-level GUI code has crashed or is looping, and this is blocking Java's UI event loop. If you open the Console application after you have killed the Java process, do you see anything that might relate to this? When the problem is happening, is the machine using a lot of CPU cycles, which would indicate a loop? Where do you see the message about the LaunchWatch process not responding? Is this a pop-up message? Can you post a screenshot? |

RE: MinimServer comparison with Synology Media Server
I use both at the moment if only because some albums are not showing in Minimserver even if I go via [folder] view. So if I want to play that album I play it in diskstation media player. I've restarted minimserver but some albums still don't show. It may have something to do with tagging but as I can't follow reams of text your exhaustive faq's on the subject are wasted on me I'm afraid.
