If you wouldn't mind, I'd be grateful for some step-by-step guidance as to where to go from here to fix the UPnP problem. Right now, I have most things hard-wired to an 8-port switch connected directly to the modem, including the computer running MinimWatch, the NAS, the Esoteric player, and an Apple Airport Extreme running the home wireless network (with three Airport Expresses in various locations in the house).There are a couple of ports available on the modem itself if it makes more sense to change that configuration. Unfortunately, I don't really understand how to resolve the UPnP issue in my setup - please forgive my lack of technical expertise! I have an AT&T U-Verse modem (5268AC) that can handle up to three devices. (I inadvertently cleared the log with all the scanning content errors - rookie mistake - so I'll see if any music plays after I get the library issue resolved.) I also tried the Linn Kinsky app with the same result -it sees the player but no library. I've made progress to the point that MinimWatch is running on my PC and I have a green icon showing that MinimServer is running (with the correct Content Directory), but the library is still invisible to the Esoteric app. Please post a short extract from your log showing some of the errors you are seeing. MinimServer can read folder names and filenames containing spaces. See this section for more information and some suggestions.

So two more questions: Does this mean I have to go through every subfolder (there are hundreds organized by artist) and rename them to eliminate spaces? And why is the SoundStream app still unable to see a music library? Thanks again! However, virtually every line of the scan log shows an error or a warning. Postscript: I got MinimWatch running! My sub-folders under Music were called "16-44 Files" and "HiRes Files" - now that I know the software can't read file names with spaces, I renamed them. The problem is that MinimWatch remains grayed-out on all three computers no matter what I do, so I can't do any configuring, and the SoundStream app (consequently?) can't locate a music library on the network. I downloaded MinimWatch onto a few computers now (an iMac, a MacAir and a Lenovo PC). I set the MinimServer Content Directory to /volume1/Music (cutting and pasting from the Music folder Properties) and scanned, which took a bit of time, but less than I would have anticipated. MinimServer shows up in the directory as a folder on the same level as the Music folder.Ĥ. I installed (and have since uninstalled and reinstalled) MinimServer on the NAS following the online instructions. I uploaded ~3.5TB of music into a folder on the NAS I named "Music" with two sub-folders called "16-44" for ripped CDs and "HiRes" for everything else.ģ. I set up the NAS on my home network and gave it the name "HomeNAS" (I'm so creative. I'd be grateful for any help the community can offer. I'm a new user trying to configure a Synology DS216j to work with a MinimServer-friendly iOS app (Esoteric SoundStream) that controls the Esoteric N-05 music streamer, and I'm really struggling.
