MinimServer can read folder names and filenames containing spaces. Please post a short extract from your log showing some of the errors you are seeing.

Hi. Thanks for the response. I've made progress to the point that MinimWatch is running on my PC and I have a green icon showing that MinimServer is running (with the correct Content Directory), but the library is still invisible to the Esoteric app. I also tried the Linn Kinsky app with the same result --it sees the player but no library. (I inadvertently cleared the log with all the scanning content errors -- rookie mistake -- so I'll see if any music plays after I get the library issue resolved.)

Unfortunately, I don't really understand how to resolve the UPnP issue in my setup -- please forgive my lack of technical expertise! I have an AT&T U-Verse modem (5268AC) that can handle up to three devices. Right now, I have most things hard-wired to an 8-port switch connected directly to the modem, including the computer running MinimWatch, the NAS, the Esoteric player, and an Apple Airport Extreme running the home wireless network (with three Airport Expresses in various locations in the house).There are a couple of ports available on the modem itself if it makes more sense to change that configuration. If you wouldn't mind, I'd be grateful for some step-by-step guidance as to where to go from here to fix the UPnP problem. Thanks again!
