I own a Moon 380D Neo, which embeds a Mind Streamer unit. I experienced the same problem when trying to access my music files from MinimServer through the Mind App. I did not care much about it, since I prefer using BubbleUPnP as a control point, with which MinimServer is no problem at all.

I revisited the issue after reading this thread. I found a workaround which may prove helpful for those whose prefer using the Mind App as a control point. Install the BubbleUPnP server on your server, go to the Media Servers tab, select MinimServer on the left pane, and in the right pane activate "Create a proxy Media Server on this LAN". In the Mind App, you should then be able to see a "MinimServer ... [proxy]" choice. Select it, and you should have no problem browsing your music. At least, that is what I experience, and MinimServer responds amazingly fast with this setup.

Simon,
I am using MinimServer 0.72 as music server running on Win7, BubbleUPnP as control point on Android, and Simaudio Moon as renderer. Up to now, I never has any problem streaming my music with this setup. I today hit upon an album which simply wont play, the minimserver log showing random "Read timed out" when trying to stream tracks from it. If a apply the fix I suggested to make the "Moon app" work with minimserver and wrap MinimServer as an OpenHome renderer using BubbleUPnP server, everything works fine. Unfortunately doing so removes gapless playback capability from my renderer, a feature which for me is essential.

This thread mentions a fix for this problem with a temp MinimServer release. Is this fix available for Win7, and if so could you make it available to me ?

I have no idea why this problem occurs just for this album (I did many tests and could not find any other one). I know that my Win7 received a lot of system updates in the last few days, maybe the cause resides there. I could send you logs if this may help you.

Thanks for you help
