Installing Minimserver

[DavidHB]

It is in fact running, and indexes your music files automatically when it starts. Right-click on the green icon and select Properties to check that MinimServer is accessing the correct folder on your PC; if it isn't, change the contentdir setting to show the path of your music folder, then use the same right-click menu to restart MinimServer so that it indexes the files in that folder. Having done that, use a Control Point (in your case, presumably, the Lumin app on your iPad) to connect to MinimServer and access the music from your renderer (the Lumin). The Control Point should identify MinimServer as a server and give you the option to access it (usually just by tapping). Other servers may be present in the system; for example, if you have a NAS, it may have a DNLA server that the Lumin app can see, so you need to select MinimServer.

Something that confuses beginners (it was a learning experience for me too) is the fact that MinimServer is, essentially, a service working in the background. The excellent MinimServer documentation has the details.
