control point can't see MinimServer

[simoncn]

I have tried the Naim app (version 5.10) and VLC (version 3.1.1) on an iPad Air 2 running iOS 11.4.1. Both these apps are able to see MinimServer and play music.

If MinimServer is scanning your library, it will not be discoverable by UPnP control points until scanning has completed. You can see when scanning has completed by looking at the MinimServer log or by checking the MinimServer status web page or by using MinimWatch.

If you are sure that MinimServer is running and has completed scanning, the usual cause of this problem is a multicast discovery problem with your network. See this section for some suggestions. Multicast problems don't affect other network communication and might not always prevent discovery of other UPnP servers such as Twonky.

It sometimes helps to power off all network devices and power them on again in this order:

1) The router (then wait 5 minutes)
2) Any switches or wireless access points (if you have them)
3) The NAS or other device running MinimServer (then wait 5 minutes)
4) The renderer (then wait 3 minutes)
5) The control point (iPad, iPhone, etc.)
