MinimServer - where is the local Database storage path

[ceefcee]

Can anyone tell me where MininimServer stores it's database after a Scan, please ?
I'm trying to figure out if it scans fresh on every launch, or if it keeps a database in a specific file path ?

Many Thanks.

MinimServer uses a cache file (similar to a database but not the same thing) so that it doesn't need to read all library files every time it is started. The location of the cache file depends on the platform you are using to run MinimServer (Synology, QNAP, Windows, Mac, etc.) Which platform is this for you?

Thanks for the reply .... Happy 2025 !
I use Windows 10 to run MinimServer

On Windows, the cache file is in the C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\MinimServer\data folder. It has a file extension of .mcache and a filename that corresponds to your contentDir setting.

Thanks a stack, Simon :-) 143Mb cache, as opposed to Mezzmo @ 68Gb. Mezzmo's huge size is probably due to it's artwork & artist info storage, which is overkill for me.

MinimServer is a splendid streamer. 100%.

Where can I find the list of music files that were processed by Minimserver on a Mac?

If you set the logging level to Verbose and then do a MinimServer rescan, the MinimServer log will show all the folders that were scanned. There isn't any way to get a similar list of files that were scanned.

Thanks that's exactly what I needed. Appreciate the quick response.
