After installing the update on my QNAP (Intel) I'm getting an error when MinimServer tries to start. I'll paste the log info below:

Please copy and paste the complete exact value of the tagOptions property into a post here.

Album.sortTags={Artist,Date,Album},all.ignore.sort={A,An,The,',.},date.yearOnly.​sort.index.display

I have the same problem with 0.8.5.3 update 125 on Synology. I looked at Album.sortTags and found a similar string:
... I, i, L', '}.
I removed ', ' and restarted Miminserver: Now everything is OK, no error, Miminserver is reachable. Thanks to Simon for your hint.

Thanks Andreas. It doesn't like that single quote all of a sudden. Mine is running now too.

The treatment of the ' and " characters in the ignore option has changed in update 125. If you want to ignore ' as a prefix, you need to enclose it in double-quote characters, like this:

{A,An,The,"'",.}

Thank you Simon, that's what I'll do.

If you use a single quote on its own, MinimServer should produce an error message instead of a NullPointerException. This will be fixed in the next update. Thanks for letting me know about this.

And for double quotes (")? If I do """, it still fails to start with the java error.

Simon, if I want to add double quote to the list, would it be """? Or would I want to wrap it in single quotes like '"'?
