MS runs on PWD but not Lumin

When I started up the Lumin, it powered up fine. When I started the Lumin iPad app, it located the MS immediately, and it also located the Lumin itself. I am able to turn the Lumin on and off from the iPad app. I am able to select tracks into a playlist. Cover art is good, and search works well. But when I try to play files, the Lumin just sits there; the track name shows in its window, but play never commences. If I assemble a playlist, and press play, the Lumin cycles quickly through the files as if there is no content in them. The names of the files appear in the Lumin device window, but it goes right through the list without actually playing any content.

I have a feeling I am missing something obvious here, but for the life of me, I don't know what it is.

TIA for any suggestions or questions. And again, if I should seek my answer elsewhere, just let me know.

This is a common problem I have struggled with for some months now on my Lumin (and troubleshooted with Simon). My problems mostly appear with Flac and AAC files.
When it becomes stuck, just restart the minimserver and you should be good to go. It is very hard to tell whether this incompatibility flaw resides on the minimserver or Lumin side.
