All was working beautifully, and it accurately represented the state of minimserver on my Raspberry Pi, and allowed me to adjust settings. However, I changed my old Netgear router for a brand new model yesterday and now minimwatch cannot see minimserver. The Pi is visible to my control points, so I can still select and play music, but am no longer able to see the state on my desktop PC. Any ideas why a new router would block access for minimwatch?

Problems like this are normally caused by the router settings for multicast messages and/or IGMP snooping. I'm not sure why this problem is only affecting MinimWatch, though.

There are a couple of basic tests you can do to narrow down which multicast messages aren't being sent or received.

1) Power off the PC and the RPi, then power on the PC and start MinimWatch, then power on the RPi and start MinimServer. Does MinimServer show up in MinimWatch?

2) Power off the PC and the RPi, then power on the RPi and start MinimServer, then power on the PC and start MinimWatch. Does MinimServer show up in MinimWatch?
