I'm not clear from your post ("wouldn't display anything, instead offering a retry") exactly what error message you saw and where you saw this error message. Was the message on the Melco front panel, in MinimWatch or in your control point? What were the words in the message?

Apologies, it wasnt clear.

I was using Kazoo (control point) on a windows 10 pc (same as usual). When the server restarted, following a rescan (according to minimwatch) I opened up Kazoo again and instead of showing the usual menu list of artist, album etc it said something like, or that meant, no data and offered a retry which didn't work either. I didn't take a screenshot at the time (edit at this point I could see the Minimservers on both devices showing in the Kazoo settings lists and could move from one to another - and to the Melco's unlabelled Twonkyserver).

I closed and reopened Kazoo but it persisted. However, I could access the Qnap version in the same way (that had also completed a rescan) without any issue. At the time I thought I would just reset the Melco (hardware) forcing a restart/reconnect etc. This recovered the situation.

Then later I rescanned after adding a further album to both servers. The same thing occurred with the Qnap server working ok but the Melco server offering no data and the option to retry which again failed. This time I recovered by restarting Minimserver using the minimwatch command.

Something I omitted earlier was that Twonkyserver was also running in the Melco and has been for sometime now (I had it switched off but at some update (Melco or Minimserver it has 'returned' and I haven't got around to turning it back off). That server was working properly and presenting menus/albums etc throughout as I checked that at the time on both occasions. So the Melco physically was working ok throughout.
