USB HDD Connected to Synology
Hello - I'm new here and using MinimServer on a Synology DS213j and streaming to an Oppo BDP-105. I have a WD HDD connected to the DS213j via USB. Is there a way to see the WD HDD as a second directory to the DS213j?

Instead of step 3), select Properties from MinimWatch, click '+' next to contentDir, paste the path into the new empty contentDir field and click OK. After you have done this, select Rescan. |

Thanks, I figured it had something to do with not having MinimWatch, so I downloaded it to my desktop PC (win64). Since then I can't get it to work and MinimServer won't open on the DS anymore either. Something went haywire. |

RE: USB HDD Connected to Synology
...An update to the last post. I upgraded to DSM 5.1 and that "almost" did the trick. MinimServer opens again in DSM 5.1 and MinimWatch is green lighted on my desktop PC. The only remaining issue is I cannot open MinimWatch from the desktop shortcut or from Start-Programs-MinimServer-MinimWatch. I double click and nothing happens

I double click and nothing happens I still can't open MinimWatch on my desktop PC via shortcut or through Start>Programs. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Java a number of times (7 & 8), uninstalled/reinstalled MinimWatch, tried the 32 bit versions, and changed Java associations through Control Panel....Still can't get it to open. Any help appreciated, but I have to go Nitey Nite for now |

If so, which program is associated with it? |

RE: USB HDD Connected to Synology
Ok, I'm an idiot I guess. I did not realize that double clicking the desktop shortcut opens the program in the sys tray. It was working all along
