MinimWatch used to work fine on my old Intel Mac.

Now, updated to Mac with Apple Silicon processor, MinimWatch (2.2.r5) doesn't work anymore. When trying to start, an error is shown: LibjliOpenError.

Reinstall was not succesful: same error.

Any help will be appreciated.

Artist.display.Format={$albumartist$label$orchestra$conductor}

This works just great and for example on a rock band I get for example:
Steely Dan, MCA

What I would like is to add text in front of Label so it would read:
Steely Dan, Record Label: MCA

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

I've noticed today that this is no longer the case on any of my controller endpoints (mConnect, Serento, Cambridge Audio) - Whle multi disc albums with no DiscSubtitle are fine, when I have a DiscSubtitle the DiscSubtitle groupings are listed at the top now, and all the tracks muncge together in the wrong order - with all th Track 1's at the top, then all the Track 2's etc.

This is manageable on some control points, but on others, where DiscSubtitle isn't seen at all, it completely messes up the playing order.

This is only an issue in the main views - If you access files via the Folder view it works fine, but that's not an option either in all controllers.

Has anyone else found this and have a solution or has a bug appeared?]]>

Since the update to macOS 27, the mouseover effect for the Minimwatch icons is no longer working. Could you take a look at this? Thanks.

My content directory is:

/share/Music

MinimServer indexes my MP3 files correctly, but it cannot index any of my WMA files. Any folder containing only WMA files is completely absent from MinimServer's Folder View.

The WMA files are standard Windows Media Audio files, and they play normally in MusicBee. This is not limited to a particular album or file — none of my WMA files are being indexed by MinimServer.

As an example, one of the affected files is:

MP3s Thomas/Thomas/1349/Hellfire/01 I Am Abomination.wma

This particular file has normal metadata:

Title: I Am Abomination
Artist: 1349
Album: Hellfire
Track: 01
Genre: Black Metal

The above file is just one example of the many WMA files that are not being indexed.

I enabled .logLevel=trace to investigate. MinimServer clearly sees and scans the WMA files. For example, the log shows:

visitFile file=/share/Music/MP3s Thomas/Thomas/1349/Hellfire/01 I Am Abomination.wma

and subsequently:

found file 01 I Am Abomination.wma

It does this for all eight WMA files in that folder.

However, after scanning the directory, it reports:

finished scanning metadata in Hellfire
finished scanning directory Hellfire
removing folder [8] Hellfire

There are no WMA-related errors or warnings in the log.

So MinimServer finds the WMA files but does not create any indexed music items from them, resulting in the entire folder being removed from Folder View.

I've rescanned both MinimServer and the WiiM several times, with no change.

Why would MinimServer find the WMA files but not index any of them? Is there a QNAP-specific issue or configuration required for WMA indexing?]]>

The NAS has a Tailscale address. In the Lumin app's MinimServer remote access settings, I've set the Remote Host to the same address.
The Minimserver appears in Lumin as "remote connected," but is greyed out, and nothing can be browsed or played.

I checked that direct http access works from the same phone and the DMS's firewall rules allow the Tailscale subnet and the required port. I changed ohnet.subnet to blank but there was no improvement.

I found an older thread on this forum ("Minimserver offline in Lumin app, but still accessible") where it was explained that control points maintain their belief that MinimServer is online via periodic UPnP "alive" multicast messages, and that if those are blocked, the app shows the server as offline after 30–60 minutes even though it's genuinely reachable.

I guess that this is my problem too but is there a way around this or a way to use the lumin app in location B while the minimserver and the NAS are in location A?]]>

I'm not aware of anything that has changed from the previous day when every thing was working ok with no error messages.

Any help appreciated.

Let me know if you need any more information. Attached is a screenshot of the MinimServer status page (I hope!).

"Minimserver [67babfd1] Not licensed for this device; resetting to Starter Edition"

I used systemctl to restart the server and when it restarted the error has gone, but so has all my server configuration and it's now running in Started mode, which is useless to me. It seems to have run an update, which I did not ask it to do, which it offered me on the admin screen on my last startup which has now invalidated my license.

My license page is now showing:

Your MinimServer license type is Starter, with no expiry date.
Your trial license expired on 24 October 2024 15:44:12 BST

You are using MinimServer Starter Edition. This version of MinimServer is designed to be easy to use with limited configuration options. It does not require a license and does not expire.

I deliberately didn't extend the license at the end of the first year as I didn't need MinimStreamer or any of the newer features; now it seems to have force updated itself.

I went to "Activate full license" and reentered my license key and email address but now get "a468e8df] License expiry date conflicts with installed package minimserver-update-274" (Because it's updated itself).

---------------------------------

UPDATE: I restored a backup from a few days ago and restarted the server - I now get this:
