There are no changes in update 274 that could cause the problem you are seeing. Were you running a much older version of MinimServer before you installed update 274?

If you are running MinimWatch on Windows, you need to make sure the network type is set to private and your firewall settings aren't blocking inbound connections to MinimWatch. Your firewall configuration needs to allow inbound connections to Java(TM) Platform SE binary.

If this doesn't solve the problem, check the MinimWatch log for error or warning messages. To show the MinimWatch log, select Options > Show log (watch) from the Windows system tray MinimWatch icon.

The UPnP discovery protocol relies on the client and server obeying strict rules for how the discovery exchange of messages should work. Some servers break the UPnP rules in order to cope with clients that also break the UPnP rules. MinimServer does not break the UPnP rules, so it needs the client to also follow these rules. This might be the reason that the other server can be discovered by your media player but MinimServer cannot.

A simple solution for the T+A issue might be to power everything off and on as I suggested in my previous post. Sometimes the client and server get out of sync for some reason and powering everything off and on solves the problem.
