sorry for not replying earlier.
Every time I use minimwatch on my mac to perform a setting (just checking settings out and restarting server works fine), i.e. set transcoding or update minimstreamer it locks up (I get the multi-colored wheel spinning and I get LaunchWatch not responding process in the task manager), no matter what I do. It seems to be java related, as other Java programs can trigger this, when performing a write setting.

I've tried uninstalling oracle's java and reinstalling apple's, but then minimwatch complained about not being able to use java 7. I haven't touched any settings on permissions, as you've previously suggested, so I am at a bit of a loss on what to do. I understand that this is not a minimwatch problem per se, and am thankful for your patience, although I do wish more functions can be performed via http (as re-scan is now available)

Please can you try the following:

1) Reinstall Oracle Java 7
2) Start MinimWatch
3) From the minim icon, select Options > Show log (watch)
4) From the log window, change the logging level to Debug
5) Close the log window
6) From the minim icon, select Options > Properties (watch)
7) In the MinimWatch Properties window, change the ohnet.debug setting to All-Timer
8) Close the MinimWatch Properties window
9) Attempt to change a MinimServer setting from MinimWatch
10) When you get the non-responding process message, kill the process and don't restart MinimWatch.
11) In the Finder, open the folder /Users/<your-user-name>/Library/MinimWatch. The /Users/<your-user-name>/Library folder is hidden by the Finder, so you need to type this path into 'Go to Folder'.
12) You will see a file named minimwatch.log. Zip this file and post it as an attachment here.

The minimwatch.log file should provide me with some clues about what is causing the problem.
