Minimserver 0.72 crashes nightly on ReadyNas Ultra+

I decided to try it again now since it's really the server that has everything done in the way I like it. I installed the latest version of the add-on via frontview and sure enough, when I got up in the morning minimserver would be down.
I decided to try uninstalling the add-on and installing the linux x86 version manually via shell. Did it a few days ago, minimserver has been rock stable ever since.

I also had this precise same problem with subsonic (a streamer software) that I also have installed in the NAS. The plugin installed via frontview would crash nightly and the manually installed version has been running for months without problems.

I think there is some kind of plug-in process cleaning operation running in the ReadyNas that's been killing the wrong processes or some other plugin (I saw the references to ReadyNas Vault) that interferes with other plugins.

Unfortunately the solutions that people have been finding to this problem all appear to be different, even if they all seem to exempt minimserver itself from any blame.

I, for one, am happy that I got it working, so donation has gone through. Well done Simon, do keep up the excellent work.

Cheers,

Thanks for this information (and the donation!)

Your explanation for the cause of this problem seems plausible. Perhaps there is some information in the ReadyNAS logs (not the MinimServer log) that would indicate what is happening on the ReadyNAS at the time that MinimServer is being killed.
