For details of how to install MinimWatch, see this page.

One does not need any of this, I can see what is shown in currently playing tab in the controlling application.

I beg to differ that you do not need to follow Simon's suggested investigation procedure. It is intended to determine the actual configuration used by MinimServer, which will probably confirm your reported transcode issue. If so, you then have the ability to set the configuration as you require.

By ignoring Simon's advice and simply restating the transcode result is not correct is not helping to progress the issue.

Enter command (? for help):

Commands:
about              shows version and status information for this application
refresh            refreshes the status of all media servers
exit               exits this application
sleep t            delays execution for t seconds (can be useful in scripts)
help               (or ?) displays this information

and then what, where do I find this icon that I should be clicking on?

This output from MinimWatch means that MinimWatch hasn't been able to find MinimServer on your network. This could be because you need to set the ohnet.subnet property in MinimWatch or for some other reason.

Please check the minimwatch.log file in the minimwatch/data directory for a message like this:

Active subnet is 192.168.0.0

If the subnet shown isn't the correct subnet for the device running MinimServer, you need to set the ohnet.subnet property in MinimWatch. What subnet is shown in minimwatch.log and what is the IP address of the device running MinimServer?

Active subnet: 192.168.102.0
IP address MinimWatch is running from: 192.168.102.129
IP address MinimServer is running from (NAS): 192.168.0.88

Where do I find ohnet.subnet property?

[simoncn]

To set the ohnet.subnet property, use the following commands:

select watch
prop ohnet.subnet=192.168.0.0
props

The final props command is just to confim that ohnet.subnet has been set correctly. Now exit MinimWatch and restart it. If you have a network adapter that is configured with subnet 192.168.0.0, MinimWatch should select this adapter and subnet and should find MinimServer. You should see output like this:

Selected media server: MinimServer[myNAS]
MinimServer[myNAS] is running

You can now use the props command to see the current settings of all MinimServer properties. You can also use the profile show command to see the settings for the active profile.

Have a look at the UPNP subnet section of the User guide.

Edit: ignore. See Simon's post above
