As I understand it (and please correct me if I'm wrong on this!) you have to have a computer running MinimServer (switched on) in order to play files from the NAS on the Mu-so? So if Computer A is switched off, we'd like to be able to have the mobile app talk to the NAS using any of the other computers in the house by installing MinimServer on all of them.

At the moment, only the first computer I installed MinimServer on shows up under UPnP servers in the mobile app. So I was wondering whether it is actually possible to have multiple computers on the same network, running their own instances of MinimServer and switch between them when selecting which UPnP server to use?

Sorry if this is still unclear and you need more information! And thanks for taking the time to help out.

You can switch off all computers when playing files stored on your NAS
