MinimServer music stops & starts randomly

Are you just using the router, or a separate, unmanaged or managed switch or switches? Are you using a gigabit switch (not a requirement, theoretically, but possibly helpful in your configuration)?

Simon is much better placed than I am to comment on the loading on the network generated by having MinimServer on the PC and the music files stored on the NAS. He has only very recently updated MinimServer to make this configuration usable. But, with the data on one device and the indexes on another, one could imagine that a fair amount of network traffic is generated.

I have the PC linked directly by Ethernet to a Linksys Router WRT-1900ACS. The NAS is also directly linked to the router by Ethernet. In one case I have a 5 GHz WiFi bridge to my Linn DSM Media Player. In a second case I have a power line connection to a Marantz Media Player. In both case I have no problems with NAS/Twonky so I don't see how the NAS to player connection can be an issue. It has to be somehow PC/MinimServer related.
