Are you using Minimwatch? If not, please install and run the appropriate version on your PC
https://minimserver.com/installing.html

Minimwatch allows you to manage Minimserver, stop, start, rescan and show the log. Please check the log to see what issues MinimServer has identified.

You can also view the log directly from Synology DSM. Use File Station to open the MinimServer/appData folder. In this folder, you will see a file named minimserver.log. Double-click this file to view its contents.

In the log there's always the same error
Error: duplicate Vorbis comment block at offset
for a huge amount of files

Ralph72 · 28-10-2019, 15:20

so it's a tag problem ? but why is there a problem only with minimserver ? :/

From the FLAC format specfication:

There may be only one VORBIS_COMMENT block in a stream.

Whatever program has produced these files does not conform to the FLAC specifcation. Did you purchase them as downloads or rip them yourself?

MinimServer cannot overlook this error as it is not clear what should be done. Should the comment blocks be merged or should the first one be used or should the last one be used? There is no good answer to this question.

Apparently your converter program is doing one of the above and "hoping for the best" without informing you about the problem.

I presume that the conversion does not affect the sound itself but only the tags ?

simoncn · 28-10-2019, 22:20

The problem is that your files are faulty. The tags cannot be read safely and this is why you are getting the error messages. The fault is in the tags, not the audio data.

How were these faulty files created? Did you purchase them as downloads or rip them yourself?

I think that it is a strength of Minimserver that it is thorough with tags and does not second guess and apply dubious fixes, ignores things. Far too many programs are slack with tagging standards which leads to problems like this.

You do have the option of using other software...

Nope, because Minimserver is the best. I just want to point a problem so it can be fixed. None a accurate as Minimserver
