Thanks for this log. It shows that MinimWatch is starting normally. As part of startup, MinimWatch sends a UPnP M_SEARCH multicast request, asking any running MinimServer instances to respond. This request was not received by MinimServer, almost certainly because UPnP messages from your PC are being blocked by IGMP snooping on your router. After some considerable time, MinimServer sends a UPnP NOTIFY message which isn't blocked by the router and MinimWatch receives this message and establishes contact with MinimServer.

BubbleUPnP is able to find MinimServer immediately because the device running BubbleUPnP is not being blocked by IGMP snooping, so MinimServer receives the M_SEARCH request sent by BubbleUPnP and responds immediately.

Because of the way IGMP snooping operates, it is common for some devices to be blocked when other devices aren't blocked. The simplest way to solve this problem is to disable IGMP snooping (not IGMP proxy) on your router. Is there a setting in your router to do this? What router do you have?
