Hi,
unfortunately MinimServer is not available for the PowerPC architecture (at least at the moment), even though Java is available for the Synology 2013 PowerPC models.

Please kindly consider to support PowerPC architecture. I believe this is keenly wanted.

I just bought DS213+ for better music streaming experience. It's definitely a pity that we can't install MinimServer on DS213+.

Thanks,
Max

I will put this on my list for investigation. It might be as simple as recompiling the MinimServer native code using the PowerPC toolchain provided by Synology.

Thanks a lot, simoncn. We will be looking forward to it.
Happy holidays !

I've created a test build of MinimServer for the DS213+. You can download it from this link. You'll also need to install Java from this page. Please try this and let me know if it works.

Thanks, Simon.

On the DSM package center it shows the MinimServer 0.63.1 has been installed and is up and running. No error message is found.
However, I cannot see it from the control point (Kinsky on iPad), nor can I find it on MinimWatch from my Mac.

Can you please advise what should I do to make it work properly ?

Thanks for trying this. Please post all the system log entries from the installation.

I am afraid these are the only messages I can find. Guess it's not helping much.
Could you please advise where I can find more info to help you?

Thanks very much for this information.

I've produced another test build with some differences in the installation and startup scripts. You can download it from this link. Please completely uninstall the current version (ignoring all warnings about losing your configuration), then install the new version and let me know if you see any improvement. Many thanks!
