As David said, you only need to experiment with a sample set of 'problem' files and a control set of 'good'' files. I would suggest 2 or 3 files in each of these sets. This should be manageable. I have done as much as I can at the MinimServer end. In order for me to do any more, I would need you to establish (by repeatable experiments) what is different between 'good' files and 'bad' files. It might be a good idea for you to set up a test library of 2 or 3 albums for these experiments. This would eliminate the possibility of a control point resource issue caused by the total size of the library. |

I doubt Roberts will be very interested! If, and it's still if, album art size is the issue, the only way to fix it will be album by album - or get another renderer (if there is one) that will handle the artwork. That's why Simon and I are recommending that you do the tests. If artwork size isn't the issue, we have to look elsewhere. But there's no point in not doing the tests - there is no magic bullet.

RE: Problem..
Thanks for all the suggestions. I shall create a test library and get on it!
Simon, do you have any objection if i start a thread to try and identify other users that have Frontier Silicon based (preferably Venice 6.5) streamers and see if other units have similar issues?

RE: Problem..
To all that have read this thread, its now come to an end and the issue is resolved. To cut a long story short, after a lot of testing it was apparent that the two renderers although apparently identical and with the same firmware were giving different results.
A factory reset of both has meant they are now playing nicely with Minimserver and no recent crashes at all. Good news indeed. Both renderers had recently had an OTA firmware upgrade and one obviously hadn't been applied correctly. Always consider a factory reset early in the proceedings! Keep on enjoying Minimserver...
