Can't access Properties tabs for MinimServer

[nickc]

This problem has returned. I've now upgraded the OS to Ubuntu 12.04 and installed java 7. This afternoon I reinstalled MinimWatch and was immediately given the option of updating MinimStreamer on the NAS to v 0.5.4. which executed flawlessly. I brought up the properties dialogue from the minim tray icon to check my settings, which at a quick glance looked fine. The other menu items also worked. At last I thought I could return to my main problem - inability to play BBC radio streams, or indeed any internet radio streams. Reading through the thread on that topic I noticed a post referring to a blank transcoder field, so went back to the properties dialogue to check my settings more carefully. But now the properties dialogue won't load. I turned on debug level and this is the section from my recent attempt to access the properties:

Code:

MinimServer[QNAP-TS-109] is running

Since that last entry at 16:19:12:330 there has been no response whatever to a couple of further attempts to bring up the properties dialogue, either in the log or a pop-up message, both of which happened previously.

I am wondering if the problem could be some sort of mega delay in the system. After attempting unsuccessfully to play several internet radio channels earlier, I eventually gave up and came to write this post. A good few minutes later, I was startled when the music suddenly leapt into life! Now I can switch stations and the change is almost instantaneous, as it always was before. (But still no BBC Edit: Just found the problem - I'm in France! Thanks to entdgc's post on the Linn forums http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.p...#pid348973 I've finally got the BBC back on stream. Hooray!) I'm on wired ethernet throughout, by the way.

Any suggestions?
