Mac OSX- Bubble upnp - getting started questions

I think I got the drive to get scanned by going to the Volumes path. My icon never turns clear but remains yellow after the scan. I assume it is done since the light on the drive stopped blinking. Checking the error log shows lots of unexpected ending at offset ...errors. How long should it take with an Ethernet connection to the Mac and about 1.2 TB of .Aiff files?

Installed Bubble UPNP Chromecast/DLNA on my Android phone and cannot see the MinimServer. I have no firewall setup on the Mac.

Sorry for the Newbie questions. Not even sure if Bubble will see or play full res .aiff 44k files without the license?

Welcome to the MinimServer forum!

You won't see MinimServer in BubbleUPnP until the minim icon changes from yellow to transparent. As you have your music on a network drive, the initial scan will take a very long time (probably several hours) and subsequent rescans will also be slow.

You would get much better performance by attaching the drive with your music to the Mac using a USB connection. Is it possible that you could do this? Alternatively, you could put your music on a NAS and install MinimServer on the NAS.
