Please see this post for an explanation and a solution.

If the user has edited this file in a text editor, MinimServer will detect this as an integrity violation and will refuse to start. To make changes to MinimServer properties, you must either use MinimWatch or use the 'prop' console command.

This change also suggests that those who like to keep a backup of the configuration should use the props command, which lists all the current properties, and not copy the config file.

I did a quick experiment with windows powershell, and it seems pretty easy to use the WebAPI from that, so that you can view properties and make changes from a machine which doesn't have MinimWatch or MinimServer installed.

$response = invoke-webrequest -uri "http://192.168.0.16:9790" -contentType "text/plain" -body "props" -method "post"
$response.content

which should show something like this (or something more sensible if you aren't experimenting):

+*props
.autoUpdate=true
contentDir=c:\users\public\music
displayName=MinimService - Revo
http.port=9790
indexTags=Artist, Date, Genre, All Artists, Composer, Conductor, Orchestra
itemTags=Comment, Lyrics
.logFile=minimserver.log
.logLevel=info
mergeFolderAlbums=false
ohnet.debug=Default
ohnet.port=9791
showExtras=true
startupScan=true
stream.converter=C:\Users\Public\Downloads\ffmpeg.exe
stream.transcode=*:wav16, mp3:wav
tagCustom=AlbumArtist.displayRole={artist}, Composer.displayRole={artist}
tagFormat=Artist.displayFormat={$artist$orchestra$conductor}, Comment.displayFormat={$Lyrics^ ^ ^ $Comment}
tagOptions=Album.sortTags={Date,Album, Artist}
.updateReminder=1


so reinstating the settings shouldn't be hard.

Thanks for posting this. I would like at some point to provide export/import options. Export would produce something similar to this and import would apply a list of settings in the same format.
