The new 0.5.4 version of MinimStreamer doesn't clear the stream.record property when you restart MinimServer, so your future recording schedule won't be lost. If a recording is currently in progress, it will be interrupted for a few seconds and broken into two separate files. This isn't ideal and I will think about possible ways to fix this.

Thank you very much for the quick response. I updated MinimStreamer and restarted, expecting it not to start preserving the setting until after the first restart ... but it did:

Wed Feb 25 06:30:00 MinimStreamer: started recording task R3+0630-0730*
Wed Feb 25 07:30:00 MinimStreamer: stopped recording task R3+0630-0730*
^^^ This morning's recording
Wed Feb 25 13:06:49 restarting MinimServer[iMac.local]
^^^ Rescan to publish this morning's recording
Wed Feb 25 13:06:49 MinimStreamer: cancelled recording task R3+0630-0730*
Wed Feb 25 13:06:49 MinimStreamer: removed recording task R3+0630-0730*
Wed Feb 25 13:06:49 Language setting is 'eng'
Wed Feb 25 13:06:49 starting MinimServer[iMac.local]
Wed Feb 25 13:07:25 MinimServer[iMac.local] is running
Wed Feb 25 13:08:07 MinimStreamer: scheduled recording task R3+0630-0730*
^^^ stream.record setting that I re-entered manually after the rescan
Wed Feb 25 22:54:28 stopping MinimServer[iMac.local]
^^^ Default restart after applying the MinimStreamer upgrade to 0.5.4.

That's really cool black magic :-)

Thanks again
