MinimServer SLOW!

I am kinda new user of computer audio and almost totally info-excluded, so I must start to apologize for the use some of your time and patience...

I installed both MinimServer and Sinology's MediaServer on my DS1511 NAS, in order to feed my new AURALiC Aries. My idea is to find out which works better and use it from there onwards.

All network is properly configured, Gigabit over Cat7 cables, everything on static IP's. Yes, I have been googling and have a great network specialist.

Findings:

- MinimServer is great. Except that is VERY slow, and I do not mean that its slow while indexing or downloading album covers. It takes about 15 seconds do start playing a single rebook file. MediaServer is almost immediate (1 to 2 seconds). This is frustrating on MinimServer's side.

This shouldn't be happening and I haven't seen it myself.

There might be some kind of compatibility issue with the Aries. To enable me to debug the problem, please do the following:

1) Install MinimWatch if you haven't already done this
2) Browse to a test track that shows the problem but don't play it yet
3) From the minim icon, select 'Show log'
4) In the log window, change the logging level from Info to Debug
5) Leave the log window open
6) Play the test track
7) When the audio starts, change the logging level back to Info
8) In the log window, click 'Save as' and save the log file
9) Zip the log file and attach it to a post here

Quote:- MinimServer does a much better work with indexing, less covers missing, more options of search, etc.

- Having to do a manual rescan everytime you add or delete something from the Library is a pain in te a**! Supposedly MediaServer does this automatically, but if it does I ain´t seen it yet.

I am hoping to add support for automatic rescan in a future version of MinimServer.
