That may be stated in the wording, but, if so, I missed it. By the same token, MinimStreamer users need to be reminded in some way that MinimStreamer needs to be installed; at present the information that MinimStreamer is not installed and therefore not running is buried in the log.

Thank you for this feedback. There is information about importing settings in the Quick Start guide (point 2 of the 'Installing MinimServer 2' section). It would be helpful to add the point about MinimStreamer here as well (MinimStreamer is mentioned much later) and I will do this.

The license page is not the right place to explain migration issues but it would be possible to do this on the Welcome page. I would not want to do this for new users who are not migrating but I think it would be possible to identify the first start of the web interface after a migration has happened and add an extra paragraph with this information. Similarly, I think it would be possible to detect whether the user is migrating from an installation that included MinimStreamer as well as MinimServer and add a few words about this. I will investigate whether this is feasible.
