Firstly I'd like to say what a great product you've created. I've used other UPNP servers in the past, but yours is the only one that does everything I want out of the box. No mucking about with xml files or finding obscure settings, it's all right there so thank you!

Thanks very much!

I have no idea how to trouble shoot it and am hoping someone here can help? Attached is the last crash log dated 28/09, though it has shutdown a couple of times since, this is the only one in my public share on the NAS (ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus).

Even with the crashes, I'll be sticking with minimserver because I think it's that good, but hopefully someone can assist and thank you in advance.

Cheers,
Loks

I'm not sure that this crash log file matches the problem with overnight crashes. I've looked at the code where this crash occurred, and it seems that this crash would occur while music is playing. Also, the time of the crash log is 17:34:56, which doesn't match a problem that occurred overnight.

What exactly do you see first thing in the morning when MinimServer has crashed? On the ReadyNAS installed add-ons page, is it showing as stopped (grey dot) or running (green dot)? Do you still see it in MinimWatch?

Please try using the MinimWatch log window to set the logging level to Trace last thing in the evening. In the morning, when MinimServer has crashed, please copy the log file (minimserver.log) from the ReadyNAS backup share to your PC or Mac before you restart MinimServer. This log file might provide some clues to what is happening overnight. After restarting MinimServer, you need to set the logging level back to Info for normal use.
