My observation previously was that when I opened Audio Station and Selected Media Server, I could select MinimServer, and to play a file, I could choose between Minimstreamer and MusicServer. I chose Minimstreamer, and MinimServer indicated that the file was being played by MinimServer [Minimstreamer].

A few days later, when I went to play a file and chose Minimserver, but then the display for streaming had changed to MinimServer [MusicServer], and I was not given a choice for a streaming vehicle. Thus I assumed that Minimstreamer was not running.

I think I know what has happened. The default name that MinimServer displays to UPnP control points is MinimServer[xxxx] where xxxx is the hostname of the machine where MinimServer is running. From what you say, it seems you have changed the hostname of your Synology NAS from MinimStreamer to MusicServer and this is why Audio Station is now displaying a different name for MinimServer.

If you want to change this default display name to something else, you can open the Properties window by selecting Properties from the minim icon, then change the displayName property to whatever name you prefer. After you have made this change, the hostname of your NAS will no longer affect the name that MinimServer displays in Audio Station.

To confirm that MinimStreamer is installed and running, you can select About from the minim icon.

Quote:In reinstalled Minimwatch to see if I could get Show log back to its original setting. I don't think that worked. I did a rescan and found a few "errors" in my music files. Here are the contents of Show Log after reinstallation and rescan:

The logging level for MinimServer is part of your MinimServer configuration and reinstalling MinimWatch or MinimServer won't change it. From the latest output, it appears you have now set the logging level to Verbose, which is OK.
