Rescan / Initializing infinite loop

[simoncn]

Could someone seeing a NullPointerException please post the crash dump log or an extract from the MinimServer log showing the full stack trace. This is essential for me to be able to find and fix the problem.

It is fine to downgrade to older versions of MinimServer and MinimStreamer. You can use the Install dialog at the bottom of the Status tab to do this. For example, you can enter minimstreamer-2.1.4 or minimserver-update-275 and click Install.

Here is a crash dump log.

Thanks for the crash dump file and the debug log file. From these, I can see what is causing the NullPointerException.

I have removed all the recent updates that were causing problems. I will rework these updates to fix the reported problems and I will release new updates when I am confident that all the problems have been fixed. For now, all users should revert to MinimServer update 275 and MinimStreamer 2.1.4.

My apologies again for the problems these faulty updates have caused.

Hi Simon,
I’m running MinimServer 277 and MinimStreamer 2.1.6 without any errors;
they are set up as a container application on a QNAP NAS.
Should I also downgrade to the earlier release?

Please let know how to revert to the older version.

Go to the your Minimserver Status webpage. Or choose Configure. At the bottom there is a dialog to install a Package. Per Simon's post #34 in this thread, do two package installs in succession, one to MinimServer 275 and the other to MinimStreamer 2.1.4 .

if you aren't seeing problems, you don't need to downgrade.

Hello Charles. Yes that worked. Everything is well again. Thanks.

This whole situation made me wonder why I update minimserver at all. I think I will uncheck the auto-update function.

Of course it would be nice if we could receive notifications of major updates. It's an idea.
