Despite all the misguided comments in other places that Minimserver is hard to set up, I followed Simon's guides and had it working & running in an hour. Great stuff.
Minimserver is running on a QNAP TS-412 and will be connecting to a coming Lumin, replacing a Mac. In the meantime, it's a library in JRiver. I have some expected tagging issues but those I can sort, I hope, but the main issue I need help on is 3500 missing files. Several thousand of these appear as 'Error: unexpected end of file at offset XXXXXXX' in the Minimwatch log. Most are .flac, some are .aiff. I can solve the problem of missing .aiff by converting them to .flac but it will take weeks.
A search didn't throw anything up. Grateful for any help on this.

Welcome to the MinimServer forum!

Please see this post (and other discussion on the same thread) for the likely cause of the problem and a solution.

The "unexpected end of file" problem with missing files isn't related to tagging, so I am moving this thread to the Support section.

Can you post a few (about 10) of these messages for .flac files and a few (about 10) of these messages for .aiff files?
