Minimserver & Minimwatch both stopped working

[Budgie64]

Hi Simon still no luck have reinstalled osx big sur, disabled all my anti virus and firewalls and minimwatch is still mostly greyed out do you have any idea what i can do also is it supposed to have its own folder on my nas along with music, and photos etc ?

Thanks

When you say MinimWatch is mostly greyed out, do you mean it is sometimes able to connect to MinimServer? If so, this sounds like a UPnP multicast discovery problem with your network. Can you say a bit more about when MinimWatch works and when it doesn't? For example, does it work for a short time after stopping and restarting MinimServer from Synology Package Center? Does it work for a short time after stopping and restarting MinimWatch?

MinimWatch does not have a folder on the NAS. MinimWatch runs on the Mac and all its files are there.

HI Simon I mean only options refresh and exit can be used all other options are not available, minimwatch has never worked on its own only when both were running on my mac, its also only minimserver that has a folder on my Nas sorry for the confusion

Thanks

Hi Simon

I Have just installed Minimserver on the mac and it the same as before it goes white I then go to volumes and the nas directory is not there at all for me to select, also should the minimwatch file be in the mac applications folder which it is not allthough its running, I am only asking as minimserver is in there when I install that


Thanks

If MinimWatch isn't in the Applications folder, it has not been installed correctly and this might be why it is not working correctly.

The installation instructions for MinimWatch are in this section. See the note to step 6. All steps in this section must be followed carefully to get a working installation.

HI Simon I am still no closer to solving this minimwatch still cannot see minimserver I have tried all the steps mentioned minimwatch is in the applications folder but not in launchpad if i delete it from the mac firewall incoming connections it just re appears as an allowed connection when i re- launch it ,what else is there I can possibly do please I am finding it very frustrating ?

Thanks

MinimWatch does not appear in LaunchPad. You need to launch it from the Applications folder.

What is the IP address of the NAS running MinimServer?

If your Mac has a wired connection, try changing it to wireless (or vice versa). This is a test to eliminate possible causes of the problem.

Hi Simon my nas Ip is 192.168.1.167:5000 I now have it wired so what can I do to test it please ?

Thanks

Did you change your Mac from wireless to wired and disable the wireless connection? If so, has this made any difference?

[Budgie64]

Hi Simon yes changed to wired and still the same i am using a cambridge audio cxn v2 streamer and the stream magic app is also having problems with connection Minimserver on the Nas, could this be the problem ?

Thanks Barry
