At the top of the page, it says something like "This page was last updated at 22:20:14 on 29 Jan 2017" which indicates that the status information was correct at that time.

There is a button on the page named 'Refresh status'. Clicking this button will show the current status and update the "last updated" time.

You might consider installing MinimWatch on another computer. This provides real-time updates on the rescanning/restarting status and also enables you to configure various MinimServer settings. MinimWatch isn't essential but it is very useful. See ths page for more information.

This doesn't explain why you aren't seeing the changes in the Naim app. Have you refreshed the browse tree in the Naim app by returning to the top-level menu? This should be enough to make the app update its view of the library but in some cases it can help if you also clear the UPnP cache in the Naim app.

I clearly don't understand the difference between the 'refresh status' and the 'rescan' buttons. Do I understand from the above that to cause MinimServer to do a new scan of the music files on the NAS that I should click the 'refresh status' page?
