RE: Melco firmware 3.92 official release now available
About to upgrade this. Question for Simon please..

If I simply download from the web and upgrade to 3.92, will my existing old style Minimserver continue to work without any configurations as it did before? I intend to purchase Minimserver 2, but not immediately. So the question is, if I do a quick upgrade to 3.92 will all still work as before? Has anyone noticed any differences in SQ with the new firmware?

And another dumb question - is it possible to upgrade to M 2 from within my Melco via the internet?

PS - from Melco page:

●FW Ver 3.92 [13th May, 2020]

[Media Server]
- Fully renewed for 'MinimServer''SongKong'
- New Menu 'Media Server App'
'TwonkyServer' 'MinimServer' 'Off' are available.
* As [MELCO Localplay] front panel USB-DAC playback depends on TwonkyServer, it will be disabled when set to other than TwonkyServer.
'MinimServer' requires internet connection for initial installation. MinimServer version installed is MinimServer 2 Starter Edition
(free version with limited functionality, paid upgrade available).
For details, see the
minimserver.com/minimserver2/melco
page.
'Rescan Songs and Playlists' also works for MinimServer
'Configure MinimServer' menu presents URL for Web Configuration.
'Version Check' menu helps updating MinimServer independently from MELCO System Software.

- New Menu 'SongKong'
'SongKong' requires internet connection for initial installation (as Lite version)
'SongKong Service' disables/enables resident SongKong service.
'Configure SongKong' menu presents URL for controlling SongKong via a web browser.
This includes upgrade path to full version.
'Version Check' menu helps update SongKong independently from MELCO System Software.

* What is 'MinimServer'
Alternative UPnP AV Media Server Software dedicated to serve music (not for Movies/Photos)
Now MinimServer is 'recommended server' to use with various players such as dCS, Esoteric.

* What is 'SongKong'
It gathers/maintains detailed metadata for tracks including artwork inside MELCO using online databases.
Unlike Gracenote, SongKong works for all files installed.
SongKong Lite creates a preview detailed report showing the metadata that can be added, to save the changes requires a full Melco license.
SongKong Lite also provide the capability to manually edit track metadata on the web browser.

[Status]
- 'Music Database' shows MinimServer status when 'MinimServer' selected.
- 'Media Server' shows MinimServer version when 'MinimServer' selected.

[Import from CD]
- Bugfix regarding specific character of metadata stops importing as error

[USB-DAC Local Player]
- Support for 2GB-4GB WAV files again
* FW 3.90-3.91 treats WAV files 2GB-4GB as 'suspicious'.
because most of old WAV files indicates 2GB-4GB are actually broken. But now there is a demand to play large WAV files on MELCO
so we remove this limit again.
- Devices added for MELCO marker-less DSD
Mark Levinson No508x
PRIMARE I15
Ayre QB-9 twenty etc.

[Downloader]
- [OTOTOY] Retry within the session added when bought files are not ready on site.
- [mora] Support for requirement update.
