MinimServer is a server application for use on a local (i.e.home) network. There is the player (obviously), sometimes referred to as the renderer, the control point (which does what its name says) and the server, which accesses the content on whatever device it is stored. In any streaming system there are three primary network components, all implemented in software. Those of us who have come to rely on this software would, I think, want to wish the author, Simon Nash, every success in taking the new venture forwardĬlick to expand.I'll add to Paul's summary answer, if I may. Personally, I think that this new pricing structure puts MinimServer on a sounder long term footing, and I don't think that the prices quoted are unreasonable. All further developments will of course be offered on MinimServer 2 only. When MinimServer 2 is fully released, the current version of MinimServer will be withdrawn, though no doubt it will remain in circulation and use for a while. MinimServer 2 will be in three versions a starter version, essentially for people who only use the default settings, which will be free, a paid for, fully featured version with a permanent licence but only a year of updates and access to MinimStreamer (initial cost £28), and the continuation of updates and MinimStreamer access on a subscription basis for £10 p.a. Anyone using or with an interest in MimimServer will be interested to see the news about MinimServer 2 in this thread on the MinimServer forum.
