All seems to work fine and I can see Minim serv on the control point and access and play music. The issue I am experiencing is that I cannot select all the options on Minim Watch on my computer as they are greyed out. What am I doing wrong?

What colour is the minim icon on the laptop? Which options are greyed out and which options are available?

The Minim icon is grey/light blue and the only icons that are not greyed out are Options/Refresh/Exit, all the other options above these are greyed out Rescan/Properties/Show Log/About/Stop/Restart/Close. What I am trying to achieve is to play DSD files in DoP format. The control point sees the files but the files cannot be played.

This means that MinimWatch can't find MinimServer. The most likely cause is that incoming connections to MinimWatch are being blocked by the Windows firewall. You can confirm this by completely disabling the Windows firewall to see if this makes a difference.

If this doesn't help, the other possibility is that you have two network adapters (real or virtual) on your Windows machine and MinimWatch is using the wrong adapter. You can confirm this by disabling all adapters other than the adapter you want MinimWatch to use, then restarting MinimWatch.

Many thanks for all your help. Managed to get Minim Watch working by disabling the Firewall. The final step now is to be able to play dff files, have had no success as yet. Minim Server sees these files on the control point but cannot be played. I have now downloaded the Minim Streamer package but still no success. The receiving device accepts DSD files in DoP format therefore the DSD files need to be converted to DoP in Minim Server. Please advise.
