I've got no idea what QNAP is like in terms of interface, but I've been connecting my Syno directly to my DAC by USB and streaming from there (it has an android app for controlling playback). I've been running a similar setup with a Synology NAS for a few years now and it's been really good. If custom, are there things to look for in order to ensure good clear audio via dlna or toslink? (I think dlna can handle 24/196 and optical only 24/96). So can I build a raid media server for say $500 (the price of a good capable nas)? That would be better than the nas? The nas isnt very powerful so a pretty cheap CPU would be stronger. I can send music to my Yamaha wxc-50 via DLNA.

Then I'd probably need to run a virtual PC linux or windows to run a different music manager like JRiver or Emry unless.

I can install Kodi/Plex from the Qnap app store. Looking at a used Qnap ts-453mini with a Celeron J3455 and 4-8gig of ram (listed by plex and reviews as a decent plex server being able to transcode several 4k movies in real time. I probably will also run something different for my music. THEN I want to run something like Kodi that has a slick looking interface for all of it and a Plex addon for movies.

Plus I have TB's of music I can incorporate (the music started it all). I've decided to localize all of our home videos (many) and pictures which are scattered across various computers and USB drives.
I didnt want to have a PC in the living room but what I've decided to accomplish has grown so now I'm looking at either a used PC or nas. As opposed to snagging a good performing 4k transcoding capable nas. With a lot of images it can take a minute or so to load up.You can skip all this long winded vomit.my question is.So can I build a fairly quiet raid media server for say $500 (the price of a good capable used nas)? I can source used stuff like case, etc. The images get loaded on startup so you need to restart Asset to get them to appear. They need to be PNG images and square to look right and the name need to exactly match the Album Artist name (case sensitive). Then simply copy your images to the directory. share/CACHEDEV2_DATA/.qpkg/Asset/data/.dBpoweramp/uMediaLibrary-v4/AssetUserUpstreamImages
Once connected you need to locate the AssetUserUpstreamImages directory. To do this you need to use a program like WinSCP to allow you to navigate the NAS file system. Then your artist image is fixed rather than being chosen randomly from your album covers. With some effortyou can go one step better than this by downloading images of your choice for each artist and placing them in a specific directory on your NAS. I like this as it seems easier to me to jump to an artist using an image rather than reading the name. This chooses an image for each album at random to display in the root of each album artist. Could help with slightly suboptimally tagged albums.Īnother nice thing to do with Asset is to enable upstream artwork. On a potentially more positive note, a tip for those who prefer to browse by album artist, rather than artist - there’s a tick box which tells Asset to fill in album artist tags with the artist tag info if the album artist tag is missing. That’s not to say Asset is bad, it’s just that evidently my collection is tagged in a way which works ok for me with minimserver, but which creates problems with Asset, and I can’t be doing with sorting through it all again. I think that, since I would apparently have to re-tag an unknown proportion of my collection to get Asset to work how I’d like(ish), while minimserver displays things mostly as I want it to, I’ll stick with minimserver. Whereas with Minimserver, any albums with no year data just show up alphabetically. This results in an entry under ‘album artist’, complete with a picture drawn from the embedded album artwork, but when I tap on it, all I get is the message ‘no results’. There’s a workaround mentioned on the forum, but it involves adding a special tag to every file.īut I’ve also noticed that for albums which have incomplete metadata and thus have no ‘year’ data, they don’t show up at all.
I tried this and found the same thing - it annoyingly shows the year next to each album, and will only list them with the newest at the top.
