The log file (accessed through the DSM menu) doesn't show anything unusual, it also seems to be overwritten every time you start a new instance. Are there any archived log-files anywhere, from a previous run?

There are no archived logs but there might be some archived crash files in the MainimServer/appData folder (see below).

The next time it crashes, don't restart MinimServer immediately. Instead, use File Station to view the MinimServer shared folder and select the appData subfolder. The appData folder should contain files named minimserver.log and minimserver-out.log. Please download both these files before you restart MinimServer and attach these files to a post here. Also, if the appData folder contains any files whose names begin with "minimserver-crash", please download the most recent of these and attach it to a post here.

When I see these files, they should give me some clues about what is causing the problem.

Quote:One of the things I've noticed is that running bubbleupnp as a wrapper to my new streamer, sometimes I'd get a noticeable (1-2 sec) delay between selecting a playlist on the control point and it actually being served to the streamer - that has never happened before! Minimserver usually crashes several hours after that.

Can you try it without the BubbleUPnP wrapper? If the delay only happens with the BubbleUPnP wrapper, this suggests a BubbleUPnP issue rather than a MinimServer issue.

Quote:Interestingly enough, looking at the memory usage indicated by the DSM, I notice memory usage hovering around 79-81%, which for my system is the norm..

This seems high to me. If you look at the memory breakdown by process, which two or three processes are consuming the most memory and how much does each of these consume?
