Router/wireless is Eero; there is a NetGear ProSafe Gigabit switch and a small TrendNet gigabit switch in the path, but everything was working perfectly from day 1 until now, so while I really don't know what I'm talking about, I'd be suspicious of a multicast problem as these are not managed switches and I haven't "futzed" with them.

Can you try using a UPnP control point (such as Linn Kinsky) running on the wired Windows PC to see whether it can find MinimServer? If MinimServer is visible to wired UPnP control points but not visible to wireless UPnP control points, this is likely to be a wireless multicast problem.

Simon,
I tried Kinsky on both my MAC and a Windows machine, both with wired connections, and it sees the MinimServer library just fine. Here's the perhaps interesting part- if I disconnect the wired connection and put my MAC in wireless mode, Kinsky can NOT see MinimServer, nor does it see my two DirectTV boxes that were visible with the wired connection. When I re-connect the wired LAN, MinimServer and the DTV boxes come back.

So yes, it appears that the MinimServer library is not visible in wireless mode, but is visible in wired. I have not made any changes, if it's even possible, to the router config at all, that may have caused this, but maybe an automatic update. Where do I go from here?

Check router and firewall settings. Something there is preventing wifi devices from seeing the network. Also, from your Mac's perspective, changing to wifi could be regarded as switching to a different network that is treated differently. For example, in Windows you have a distinction between home vs public networks.
