MinimServer UPnP server icon

[sv_93]

Hi Simon,

Is there a way to change the icon displayed by MinimServer in control point application in front of the server name (displayName property) ?

My MinimServer is running on a Raspberry Pi and I've tried to change the server48.png file from the "icons" folder with no success, BubbleUPnP is still showing the default MinimServer icon (musical slave on green background).

It would be helpful to quickly identify MinimServer instances when there are multiple ones.

Cheers,
Sébastien

You can replace the default icon shown by the control point by doing the following:

1) Create a directory containing custom versions of these four files:
minimicon-120.png (a 120x120 pixel PNG image)
minimicon-120.jpg (a 120x120 pixel JPEG image)
minimicon-48.png (a 48x48 pixel PNG image)
minimicon-48.jpg (a 48x48 pixel JPEG image)

2) In the minimserver/data directory, create a file named minimserver.defaults containing the single line
.path = /path/to/the/directory/containing/your/custom/icons

3) Stop and restart MinimServer

It works like a charm.
Thank you Simon !

Does this "trick" work for the windows version, and for the latest update?

I did literally what he did and it doesn't work for me.

I have tried this with the latest update on Windows and it is working for me. What exactly did you put in the minimserver.defaults file?

[JoaBack]

In my minimserver.defaults file is:

.path = C:/Program Files/MinimServer/customicon

Note: this is in the /data folder in AppData/Roaming/Minimserver, the regular MinimServer folder doesn't have a /Data subfolder.

Because of the space in Program Files, you need to quote the path like this:

.path = "C:/Program Files/MinimServer/customicon"

Note: it would be better not to put the icons folder in this location. See this post.

Ok, now it works. Thanks a lot!!

what if I need to renew but lost my license code?

It worked on my Synology (I put minimserver.defaults in the appData subdir)

Question: the icons are also in a subfolder of minimserver

So I have two foreigners: the minimserver.defaults file and the icons subdir

What happens when there is an update ?
