I'm a bit lost at this point and would appreciate any help anyone can provide. I don't access the NAS from outside of my home network. Download and install the Java Synology package.'ĭo I still need BubbleUPnP Server to create an OpenHome renderer or should MinimServer2 take care of this? If I do still need it, do I install embedded Java SE 8 using the same instructions as for the original MinimServer or will this interfere with the embedded Java in MinimServer2? So, I then tried to install the latest BubbleUPnP Server on the NAS but it failed with 'Java is not installed or not properly configured. I wasn't sure whether this meant that I didn't need BubbleUPnP Server on the NAS with MinimServer2 so I installed BubbleUPnP on the phone again but it doesn't see the library or the renderer. The installation notes said that at this point I 'you should be able to see your MinimServer library in a UPnP control point'. I can see the MinimServer object in File Explorer on my laptop and open it and see the CD tracks fine. The logfile shows some warnings with track data and playlists but finished with 'running'. They connect up OK and I presume the scan was all OK as it changed to 'running' after a little while. I then installed MinimServer2 on the NAS and MinimWatch2 on the laptop. I also uninstalled MinimWatch from my laptop and BubbleUPnP from my phone. I decided to do a nice clean installation so uninstalled BubbleUPnP Server, then MinimServer and then Java SE, electing not to keep the config files from each one as I uninstalled. I then read that MinimServer 2 was now available for all Synology NASes and didn't need to separately install Java. I restarted BubbleUPnP Server on the NAS and it started OK without any error but I still couldn't see anything except 'Local Renderer' for renderer and 'Local and Cloud' for library. I had horrible flashbacks of the efforts to get it installed properly in the first place.

I restarted BubbleUPnP Server and a message flicked momentarily up about needing to reinstall Java. I could no longer see my library or renderer in the BubbleUPnP control point on my Android phone. I could happily see my MinimServer music library and OpenHome renderer to send music to the Sonore Signature Rendu streamer in my hifi system.Ī couple of days ago the NAS auto updated to DSM 6.2.3-25426 overnight (from the immediately previous update). Until 2 days ago I had been using older MinimServer and BubbleUPnP Server on the Synology DS212 NAS, with Bubble UPnP on the Android smartphone as control point.

For just music streaming I would suggest DS118 as a 1 drive solution (max 10TB), DS218j for dual drive solution (will provide an uninterrupted service even if one hard drive dies) or 418j 4.

I should add that the balance of my collection resides on a Synology DS218+ and presumably I’m likely to encounter a similar issue when the time comes to upgrade that, so any advice you can offer on that would be welcome too.Hi, I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me get my MinimServer system running again. In order to play your local MP3 collection, you will need any of new Synology NAS models, Alexa (Echo PLus etc.) speaker and few minutes of configuring. I seem to be at an impasse and would appreciate your guidance before attempting more onerous means of restoring access to my music. The problem with that is that the installation no longer appears in Minimwatch, so it isn’t possible to de-activate the license. You must deactivate your Minimserver license before uninstalling”. When trying to uninstall Minimserver, the message is “Failed to uninstall the package. As far as I can see, there are no Beta packages on the left and no means I can find of joining the Beta program, or of directly addressing the updated version of Minimserver. The installation then proceeded without problem, but in the package centre afterwards, Minimserver shows as stopped with a message that says “Please go to Beta packages on the left panel to repair the package by joining the beta program”. I was required by the upgrade to uninstall Java 8, which I did. Having read the content of this thread – evidently not carefully enough, I set about installing DSM7.0 on my Synology DS214+, which houses part of my music collection.
