The latest java and Minimserver with all updates is installed.

When doing a search for a track using my Denon app on iPad the minimserver crashes.

Here's the log output :

MinimServer[Mars] is running

Is there something I should check ?

I understand what is causing the crash and I will fix it in the next update. Thanks for reporting this problem.

I don't understand why MinimServer would be slower on Windows 8.1 than on Windows 7. Have you looked at Task Manager to see if any programs are consuming excessive system resources?
