On my receiver it's always available but then again, the network is always on in standby mode. When I switch of the receiver completely at also takes some time to discover the Minimserver

I have 3 DLNA 'servers'. The first 2 show up almost instantly and for minimserver it sometimes takes up to 5 minutes.

Also switching of the other DLNA servers doesn't help

After reading this post I did not find a solution.

It might help to set the ohnet.port property to a fixed value such as 9791, if this isn't already set. Some control points cache this value and take a long time to rediscover the server if its port number or IP address has changed.

Edit: If this doesn't help, there is probably a multicast issue with your network. Some servers send repeated announcements at very frequent intervals to compensate for this, but the ohNet UPnP stack that MinimServer uses doesn't do this.
