I recently moved my library bac to my local machine since I was having performance issues with it on my NAS.
To be clear, the Media Server software has always been on a separate machine but I moved the local app data.
Since I moved the local app data back, the Media Server software simply does not launch when I start it. I click on it, no error messages appear, but the tray icon in the bottom-right is not present.
Here is log file…
