Help! Nothing Under "Artist" View

[pinchi22]

"There might be a tagging problem with one of the artists in one of your files. This could be causing MinimServer to crash or return a response that the control point can't handle. Have you looked in the MinimServer log after you get the spinning circle to see if there is an error message?"

The problem is occurring in trying to access albums of ANY artist using Artist view.

I do see in user documentation that: "By default, the log file is named minimserver.log and is located in the MinimServer data directory" I have looked at 'Log Center" of Synology DSM, but there is no log since 5 June. Is this log to be found on my computer's hard drive (Mac OS)? Finder does not find a minimserver.log file there either.

"You could also try selecting one of the other tags first (e.g., Date) and then selecting Artist or All Artists to see if the problem still occurs."

Yes, I CAN access albums this way. Here is another clue: I CAN access individual albums under "Artist" view if I do the following - Artist view -> select Albums - > stuck in infinite loop -> switch naim control point from UPnP to iRadio -> switch back to UPnP -> CAN see and access albums.

How did you rip (or download) and tag your files? Nearly all ripped with dbPoweramp , and tagged using default settings.

I had been able to view albums under "Artist" view until approx. 2 weeks ago. This may be coincidence, but the problem began at about the time Synology updated its software.
