I am trying to use MinimServer on an Innuous Zen Play NAS drive, playing into a Naim Uniti, controlled by the Naim app on an iPad. All my music is on my PC in iTunes, in a playlist organised by Composer. Innuous recommended Minim as the best server for my purpose.

I have successfully (I think) installed MinimWatch on my PC (shown in the apps list as MinimWatch version 0.8.3 and 2.05MB size) and MinimServer on my Zen (where there is a MinimServer icon). The Minimwatch icon on the PC is white and the MinimWatch icon on the Zen is green.

First question: The problem is that repeated clicking on the Minimwatch icon doesn't open it. Nothing happens. The log reads:

starting MinimServer[zen]
MinimServer[zen] is running

So I can't control the server from my PC and haven't been able to transfer any of my music to the Zen. I must be doing something wrong, but what?

Second question: When I eventually get MinimWatch working (I hope), how do I transfer my iTunes library to MinimServer on the Zen, with all the metadata in the same Coimposer order? I think I saw a note with instructions for transferring iTunes somewhere but can't find it now.

I'm sure these are simple problems that a more tech-savvy user would deal with easily, but I'm stumped.
