Restart MinimServer After Windows Reboot Without Rescan

Wanted to say that I'm really enjoying using this software. It's a lot more controllable, and logical, than a lot of the other software I've tried. Thanks for that.

I do have a couple of questions. Please bear in mind that I'm no expert with this stuff!

1. When I reboot Windows is there any way to start MinimServer without it performing a rescan? Sometimes I need to reboot the machine and I know that nothing has changed in any of the media libraries. Is there a command line switch I should use?

You can set the startupScan property to false and do a manual Rescan only after you have added new music.

Quote:2. Sometimes the MinimServer icon in the taskbar stops responding, i.e. right-clicking does nothing....the usual context options are not displayed and the only way I can get them back is by killing the javaw process and excuting MinimServer again from the program menu. Unfortunately I then have to wait for a full rescan. As for question 1 any way to deal with this without having to do a full rescan?

Thanks.

Setting startupScan to false will eliminate this rescan.

This problem with the icon shouldn't be happening and I would like to find out more about the cause. If you have the JDK installed (or are willing to install it), please enter the following command from a command prompt when this happens:

jstack <pid>

where <pid> is the PID shown by Task Manager for the javaw process. Please attach the output from jstack to a post here. Many thanks!
