Does this happen every time you play music, or just on a particular track?

Did you see a red minim icon in the system tray when this happened?

If this happens again, please copy the minimserver.log file from the C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\MinimServer\data folder to some other location before you restart MinimServer, then attach this file to a post here. The AppData folder is hidden by Windows Explorer, so you need to type the fulll folder path into the Explorer address bar.

or go to internet options/advanced and enable view hidden files and folders


Thanks for the reply. I had to leave this nightmare yesterday. My son and wife were missing me...

I know where these files are, I'm X IT (a long time ago) That is part of what frustrates me. I was counting on this being easy but knowing that every persons computer and setup is different. Knowing this, I was willing to put some time in getting this up and running but I didn't count on this being so difficult where most folks seem to having an easy time of it.
When I found the issue within Windows Network streaming pane, I was up and running and proclaimed "fixed". Then when I went to play DSD, it wouldn't, and 96/24 stuttered. My buddy who turned me on to Lumin told me I needed to add some file types to the program, but I could not find the location. I thought it was natively supported? Out of sheer frustration I found and loaded Minim streamer, a package I really don't know much about. I better read up on that
As I recall, it didn't load either - some error message.

When I tried to play music from my IPAD, there was bad behavior, some weird looping as if I was tabbing through the interface and a spinning wheel within the program and of course nothing would play.
So tonight, I'll bring home a laptop, my third computer in this exercise, load up the program(s), and see what happens.

As an FYI, I tried using the library from both my DLink DNS343 4 drive storage mapped to a drive letter and an external USB hard drive. Both methods worked as the library loaded. So at least I have a library

Is there a preferred method?

Again, thanks for your help. I'll send the log file when I get home.
