Rescan / Initializing infinite loop - Charles7 - Yesterday 23:37
I opened my Minimserver Status webpage on my smartphone, although Minimserver itself is installed on my PC. The program announced an update, which I selected and which apparently was installed. Now, on the PC or on the smartphone, when I choose Rescan on the Media server status page for Minimserver, it goes into a rapid infinite Rescan / Initializing loop for five or ten minutes, then stops with the message: Unexpected exception java.lang.NullPointerException.
How do I recover?
RE: Rescan / Initializing infinite loop - Charles7 - Yesterday 23:56
After looking at the Minimstreamer | Properties webpage, then back to the Minimserver Status webpage, it displays:
Profile error setting property stream.converter: Exception while setting property stream.converter to : java.lang.NullPointerException
and nothing happens when I click on Rescan
(I have long had a license and had ffmeg.exe in C:\Users\<nam>\AppData\Roaming\MinimServer\opt\bin )
Also, the Minimserver | License webpage now says
You are using MinimServer Starter Edition.
But when I go to Minimiserver | License | Activate webpage and enter my license code and email address, the similar error message appears:
Profile error setting property stream.converter:
Exception while setting property stream.converter to opt/bin/ffmpeg: java.lang.NullPointerException

After restarting my PC and hence Minimserver, the Status now displays Full license. Click on Rescan does nothing except display the error message.

Attached are a log file captured while the Rescan/Initialize loop goes on, and an earlier crash log written by Minimserver.

Yeah, same problem here. Running on a Synology NAS, stuck in an endless rescanning loop with the same error messages.

Same error message, same behavior as described by other users
RE: Rescan / Initializing infinite loop - simoncn - Today 11:12
I have temporarily withdrawn MinimStreamer 2.1.5 while I investigate this problem. This will prevent this version from being installed by other users but it will not fix this problem for users who have already installed MinimStreamer 2.1.5.
I will continue to work on this and I will post back here when a fix is available. My apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

Same problem with update 276: Rescan followed by "restarting" and no new files are added

Update: Problem solved after a complete restart of the NAS

Unfortunately, I cannot confirm this; even after a restart, there is no change in the error behavior.
