Minimserver crashes when media drive connected

[Pdog]

Hi,

i have minimserver freshly installed on a raspberry pi 4, 64bit Pi OS. The music is accessed from a SSD usb hard drive formatted to exFAT. However, when i connect the drive, the pi crashes. Everything runs fine with the drive disconnected.
I have reinstalled everything and formatted the drive with no joy. Can someone please provide some advice?!!!

This probably isn't caused by MinimServer. What happens if you exit MinimServer and then connect the drive?

It connects fine. The pi reads the drive. I can open and browse the files with no problem. As soon as MinimServer reads it, it crashes the pi.

Are there any error messages in the minimserver.log file after the crash? The information in this file is still available after a restart unless you are automatically starting MinimServer when the system starts.

Also, some errors are written by MinimServer to a crash log file in the minimserver/data directory. This file has a name starting with "minimserver-crash." Do you see any such files?

I will have a look and come back to you ?
