MinimServer stoped working on my Melco - and is showing an error

[MarkT]

Hi Simon

My Melco has just stopped working (playing music) in its normal way after I upgraded SongKong today. I have done some trouble shooting with David Baker and it seems as though there is a problem relating to Minimserver
I am using Jplay as the controller and we tried resetting and rebooting that – It seemed to start music playing (on the screen) – but I could get no sound on any system in the house!

Going into Minimserver on the Melco at first returned an error and wouldn’t show it on via my browser. We therefore unclicked the Minimserver on the Melco – left it for 2 mins and then re selected it – this time it was possible to access Minimserver through the browser but it showed the error as can be seen on the attached screenshot



I am unsure if this is just a gremlin that has appeared or if it is linked to the new installation of SongKong – David has explored all the options we could and without MiniServer running clearly there is no music – This is when he said I needed to contact you!! (sorry it is so close to New Year!!)

As a hack I have set the Melco to Twonky and so I can play music but the indexing and search is clearly all over the place – but at least we know everything else is working!!

Please let me know if you need further info and I will do my best to supply it though in technical terms I am something of a novice!!

Best wishes

Mark
