- Uninstalled Java 7
- Uninstalled MinimServer leaving the configuration files in tact (I know this isn't necessary)
- Installed Java 8, upgraded to Oracle Java 8
- Downloaded the ARM7 MinimServer pkg file and installed (version MinimServer 0.8.3.4 reported in DSM, on port 9790 it says MinimServer 0.8.3 update 78, ie. no mention of 0.8.3.4)

What I am observing is:
- MinimServer works correctly upon starting the package
- After a while, MinimServer is no longer discoverable through any control point and MinimWatch
- MinimServer is shown as running on port 9790
- If I stop or restart MinimServer from DSM, I get a DSM system log warning stating MinimServer had to be stopped using a forced kill
- Upon restart, MinimServer is discoverable and functions normally but then is no longer discoverable after a period of time - usually an hour or so
- I'm also running Synology Media Server for photos and video (not audio) and this continues to be discoverable, so this implies it's not a network issue
- I have rebooted the NAS

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Many thanks, SoundAdikt.

The procedure that you followed to upgrade looks fine.

It sounds like MinimServer is crashing. After MinimServer becomes undiscoverable, use File Station to access the MinimServer/appData folder and copy the contents of the minimserver.log and minimserver-out.log files to a post here. You need to do this before you stop and restart MinimServer from the Package Center because the restart will overwrite the contents of these files. Please also check whether the appData folder contains any files whose names start with hs_err_pid. Many thanks!
