Today I too installed yesterday's update 76 and was unable to play any file. The control point displayed all details but tapping the play button did nothing. Log file is attached. I was able to stream Qobuz as normal. I reinstalled 0.5.21 and I can play files again.

Two days ago I had a problem which may or may not be connected. I installed Java Update 71 on my control PC following which I could not see minimserver on my control point even though it was running on the pc. I could see minimserver on my audio PC (where I had not updated Java) and was able to play files in a single PC arrangement. I am sure that minimserver was running when I installed the upgrade.

I restored my control PC to an earlier point after which minimserver stopped working altogether so I uninstalled it and Java. I installed Java Update33 (downloaded from a link on the JPLA manual) and a fresh download of minimserver (both 64bit Windows8). This restored all functionality. However I am nervous about installing further Java upgrades. Is there any reason I should from the minimserver aspect?

The problem with audio not playing should be fixed now in MinimStreamer 0.5.23.

Your other problem sounds like a firewall issue. When you installed a new version of Java, the new Java installation was probably blocked by your firewall settings. The fix is to go into your firewall settings and edit the rules that are causing the blockage.

For security reasons, it is always a good idea to be on the latest version of Java. Now that you know about the potential firewall issue, you should be able to correct any similar problems in future.
