Minimstreamer Licence Expired

[BlueDog]

Simon, had to restart the Qnap this morning and it tells me the Minimstreamer licence expired (in 2 weeks time!) and refuses to start...

Please see attached:

   

[BlueDog]

Duh! Ignore this - just seen the release notes for 0.7.3 - sorry.

It looks like something has gone wrong with the expiry date calculation. I will investigate. Thanks for letting me know.

[simoncn]

I am not seeing this problem. Is the date on your QNAP NAS set correctly?

[BlueDog]

Yes, the date and time are correct - using NTP.

I only shut it down as I had to replace my UPS.

This was all that was in the log:

Well, I know the clock is correct so just for fun I rolled back to 0.7.2 again and sure enough, it fails with that message.

Gremlins.

[simoncn]

Not gremlins. I have identified the combination of circumstances that can cause this. Do you have autoUpdate enabled or disabled?

[BlueDog]

Disabled, I much prefer to have an element of control over when these things happen.

[simoncn]

I understand. Unfortunately, this is one of the circumstances that is required to trigger the problem.

I have removed MinimStreamer 0.7.3 for now and I will release new updates for both MinimServer and MinimStreamer soon.
