MinimWatch icon not in menu bar

[drystream]

2024 MacBook Air M3; Sequoia v. 15.1.1

First installed MinimServer on Synology NAS and it’s up and running correctly.

I’ve installed Java JDK 23 prior to installing MinimWatch 2.
Verified Java installation:

2024-13-MacBook-Air:~ steve$ javac -version
javac 23.0.1

Then installed MinimWatch 2 according to instructions, allowing all access.
MinimWatch enabled on Local Network setting in Privacy and Security.

Double-clicked MinimWatch.app from Applications in Finder, but no icon shows up in the menu bar.

Checked processes with Activity Monitor and see two entries for MinimWatch, one with the music note icon and the other without the icon.

Checked the MinimWatch Library folder for logs:

I stopped the MinimWatch processes and deleted the minimwatch.config and minimwatch.config.save files in my Library folder, as suggested in a forum thread, and re-started MinimWatch, but still no icon in the menu bar. I also changed the background color of the screen/menu bar to a light color, but the icon isn’t there. There isn’t an ‘overflow’ area on the menu bar where the icon could be hidden.

It’s not essential that I use MinimWatch, but it would be handy while I process a bunch of Music playlists that will require multiple re-scans.

Puzzling that MinimWatch is apparently running OK, but the icon isn’t visible, and as such, can’t be used. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Late edit: A weird thing happened---I've been using my Mac on Wi-Fi in trying to work through this MinimWatch install.
As I was going off to bed I plugged in my USB hub that has an Ethernet connection to my router, and the NAS is also hard-wired to the router. As soon as I did that the MinimWatch music note icon appeared on the menu bar, as well as my Synology Drive client icon that was also not showing.
No idea why that should have occurred--anyone have any insight? Tomorrow I'll go back to Wi-Fi and see if the icons disappear again. And of course, all the functions of the MinimWatch icon drop-down are there and a re-scan worked as it should.
