Only shows 77 albums of 3000. Minimwatch is mostly grayed out. Sometimes I wonder if this is even connecting to my drive as I have configured in minimserver. Java 64 bit is installed. Just bad behavior. I'm attempting success in 2 computers and I'm marginal at best.

Discouraging.

I'm sure the problems can be solved if you can provide more information about them.

Have you looked in the MinimServer log window for error and warning messages? If a lot of albums are not showing, this is probably because MinimServer has found problems when reading the files.

You can check which folders MinimServer is reading by changing the logging level in the log window to verbose and doing a Rescan from the minim icon. The log will contains a list of all the folders that are being scanned.

It isn't normally necessary to use MinimWatch if you're running MinimServer on Windows. If the MinimWatch icon (on another machine) is grey and the MinimServer icon (on the machine you're using to run MinimServer) is green, this can be caused by the following:

1) A firewall on the machine running MinimWatch might be blocking incoming connections. Try disabling the firewal to confirm whether this is the cause of the problem.

2) If the machine running MinimWatch has more than one network adapter (real or virtual), MinimWatch might be choosing the wrong adapter. To fix this, you need to set the ohnet.subnet property in the MinimWatch configuration as described in this section.

It's a marathon but I'm going to win with the help of this forum.

OK, so minimwatch only shows me Options, Refresh and exit. I cannot go to any other field as they are grayed out.

I've checked Network setting, Homegroup, tried using my D-Link storage Unpn enabled, bought another hard drive, populated it with my DSD music and get the errors described below.

I get for instance "Warning: truncating incorrect value for DATE tag 2006-17-12 in file Cowboy Junkies" This error in log shows up in every file.

I've even hacked the registry discovering the Homegroup was having issues and now all is well, except for of course, this software.

What's also interesting I noted last night listening to the files that were recognized is that I'm no longer sure where they came from. They were MP3's! I don't do MP3 unless it's in my Phone.
Funny too, MP3 never sounded so good..
