MinimStreamer 0.7 license expiry date changed

I found a problem on the update server. It is fixed now. If you stop and restart MinimServer on the QNAP as you have been doing, 0.7.18 should be installed automatically.

YES! Thank you very much indeed. Solved.

If you have the "red icon" on your screen, use the Packages tab of the Properties dialog to install the minimstreamer-0.7.18 package, then click the Relaunch button.

Alternatively, you can restart MinimServer. MinimServer 0.7.18 is an automatic update, so it will be installed automatically when you do this.

If you have uninstalled MinimStreamer to work around this problem, you should install the minimstreamer-0.7.18 package from the Packages tab of the Properties dialog and click the Relaunch button. Your previous property settings for MinimStreamer will be restored automatically.

Thanks Simon, this fixed it.

The license expiry date for MinimStreamer 0.7 has been extended again from 31 January 2021 to 31 March 2021.

MinimServer 2 and MinimStreamer 2 are now available for all supported platforms. However, Synology has still not made MinimServer 2 available in the Package Center even though it was submitted to them last September. I have been working closely with Synology to make this happen and the current estimate from Synology is that it should be available in the next few weeks.

As many users do not feel comfortable doing a manual download and install of an "unofficial" version of a Synology package, it is important to have an official Synology version of MinimServer 2 available in the Package Center so that users can install this version before MinimStreamer 0.7 stops working.

Updating from MinimStreamer 0.7.18 to 0.7.19 automatically extends the license expiry to 31 March 2021. MinimStreamer 0.7.19 is an automatic update, so it is installed automatically when MinimServer is started. It can also be installed using MinimWatch from the About dialog (Show updates button) or from the Packages tab of the Properties dialog.

This change does not affect MinimServer 2 users and does not change the expiry date for MinimStreamer 2 licenses.
