I have a Netgear WNDR4500v2, which is a Wireless-N router. The access point is enabled both for 2.4 and 5 Ghz wireless. Sorry, didn't realise this was important.

Just in case you might need this too, the router doesn't have an integrated modem and connects to the internet via a separate ADSL modem device (Draytek).

PS The server stopped again last night (the usual stop at 06:35 according to the log). The playlist wiped a bit later as well, and was followed by the incorrect track title issue. I tried your suggestion of disabling and enabling the network connection. That DID clear the problem of incorrect track titles showing.

Which log is showing that MinimServer stopped at 6.35? What message do you see in the log?

The usual stop (that was fixed by the firmware update) is daily at 6.25. This 10-minute difference is likely to be significant. Does MinimServer stop at 6.35 every day, or only once a week or once a month?

Given that disabling and enabling your PC network connection fixed the playlist problem, it seems that the problem occurred because your PC became disconnected from the network multicast group and the disable/enable sequence reconnected it to the multicast group.

Between the time that the playlist was showing OK and the time it wasn't showing OK,

Was the PC powered on and running (not suspended) all the time?
Could there have been a power interruption?
Was the PC using a wired connection only or did it have a wireless connection enabled?

Do the Device Manager settings for your wired and wireless network adapters on the PC have the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to same power" enabled? If so, try disabling this option to see if this improved things.
