Troubleshooting MinimServer Issues after Synology Update

Are you experiencing issues with your MinimServer setup after updating your Synology NAS to DSM 7? I recently encountered a similar problem and was unable to find a solution online, so I thought it would be helpful to document my experience in case others encounter the same issue.

After upgrading to DSM 7.2-64570 Update 3 on my Synology DS223j, I noticed that my MinimServer setup stopped working. Despite having set up the path to my music collection and configuring everything correctly, I was no longer able to stream music to my media devices. I've tried various troubleshooting steps, including reinstalling MinimServer from scratch and turning off the firewall completely, but nothing seemed to work.

I've also searched online forums and couldn't find anyone else with a similar issue, which made me think that it might be specific to my setup. However, I wanted to document my experience in case others encounter the same problem.

To troubleshoot the issue, I tried several steps. First, I checked my router settings and ensured that everything was configured correctly. I also checked my NAS and endpoints for any issues. Additionally, I turned off the firewall completely, but this didn't make a difference.

After trying all of these troubleshooting steps, I realized that I might have missed something. Upon further investigation, I discovered that MinimServer requires Java 7 or later to run, whereas I was still using Java 6. This led me to update Java to the latest version, which resolved the issue.

Another potential cause of the problem is the ohnet.subnet setting in MinimServer. By default, this setting is left blank, but I had tried setting it to 192.168.0.0 without success. If you're experiencing similar issues, you might want to try changing this setting and see if it makes a difference.

In conclusion, updating your Synology NAS to DSM 7 can cause issues with MinimServer setup. In my case, the solution was simply updating Java to the latest version. If you're experiencing similar problems, I recommend trying this troubleshooting step first. Additionally, be sure to check the ohnet.subnet setting and ensure that it's configured correctly.
