MinimWatch does not find MinimServer resp. music library on rootfolder after update

[Frank Andreesen]

Dear Simon,

I have just completed an upgrade to Minimserver 0.8.5.2. and now my Naim NDX Streamer resp. Minimwatch does not find my multimedia folder and files on my QNAP TS-119P II.

I have successfully installed Minimserver on my QNAP, as confirmed in the status message contained from the QNAP App Center:

I have also reinstalled the latest version of Minimwatch on my Apple MacBoo Pro (latest version, in line with MinimServer Version).

The Minimwatch Icon on my Mac is either grey or yellow. In properties I currently have the following settings:

contentDir: /share/Multimedia

I tried to verify this file path via FileStation 5 via my QNAP Control Panel / Dashboard (having noted your recommendation in your installation instructions) but was not able to make the file path visible, despite doing a right mouse click on the multimedia folder, the folder that contains all my audio files.

I have not yet installed Minimstreamer (being not familiar with this program and being of the opinion that for now I do not need this).

I have also restarted my QNAP, as well as my Streamer.

My Apple is running on OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 (latest version, that runs on my early 2011 MacBook - which is running very smooth and fast).

All components are connected via LAN in my home network. The firewall on my MacBook is switched off.

Unfortunately I have not kept a note of my prior settings.

I also have just looked at the LogFile, noting a lot of errors:

What surprises me here is that Minimwatch or Server appears to wanting to access iTunes. I do not have any iTunes material in my QNAP multimedia folder. So seems Minimwatch is trying to find music files elsewhere on my PC?

Do you have any recommendation what else I can do to make my MinimServer work again?

Many thanks in advance for your help!
