5/28/2023 0 Comments Best hardware for minimserver![]() Plex or music station cannot fully handle music by folder view in all instances and do not wish to go down that route PS - I'm only interested in music files, flac/mp3/wav etc & organised the whole file structure similar to this as the library is large. V) I bought my unit years ago & twonky was working fine but cannot be used even downloading & installing the 3rd party app as I prefer https access Iv) why can you not simply select a folder to share via DLNA without a) installing music manager b) all of the above Iii) why are artists shown from a DLNA player despite ii) Ii) why does it index the whole unit? despite not having access to shares? I)After any amendment the unit goes off to re-index* the entire NAS which takes hours/a day etc (rebuilding index wastes another day of trying to resolve the issue) Thanks for the thread it really is appreciated confirming QNAP have effectively dumbed down DLNA functionality as I've wasted so many days trying to figure out what had happened. Logitech was loaded with options and plugins and has a very ugly GUI. With my older Qnap this one and Logitech media server were the only one capable of dealing with online radiostations as well. However: no GUI on the QNap, but for several OSes you can download a program to configure minimserver from your desktop. MinimServer is quite fast, and has (very)customizable trees. I am very happily using Minimserver, after having tried the built-in DNLA, Kazoo, logitech, emby and the last twonky server that was available to qnap-users. I have installed Video Station and I created a basic collection and now I can see my videos using DLNA. So it seems that, by new design, the Qnap embedded DLNA server is a passive interface that can only publish what is organized and configured with the Multimedia Stations Apps. You have to create a correct organization and some collections with the Stations otherwise you cannot see video, music or photos with DLNA in a good looking and usable way. Only if you install the Video/Photo/Music Stations you can add Contents for them in Content Management panel and after you organize the files using the Stations app then you can see them with DLNA. So, a Qnap support tech told me that this is by desing for the new Multimedia architecture in QTS 4.4.1.
