Connection Problems

[tvfan]

Hi,
I'm new here in this forum and I will place here my problem with a the connection of my Squeezbox Touch and the Squeezbox Server on my QNAP NAS 109.

Here are some details about the versions:
Squeezebox Server: Version: 7.5.1 - r30836 @ Tue Jun 1 06:59:24 MDT 2010
Squeezbox Touch: Player-Modell: Squeezebox Touch Firmware: 7.5.1-r9218

If I will connect (Ethernet) with "my music" on the QNAP Squeezbox Server I get connection errors. Here is a extract from the server log:

I hope someone can help me

Greetings TVFAN

Hi tvfan,
I have exact the same setup and face similar issues. I had a buffering problem that is why I switched to LAN connection for squeezebox. No I have same error messages as you have in the log.

Were you able to fix this?

The server and players try to find each other using a "discovery protocol" which uses UDP broadcast messages. If the firewall on the NAS blocks UDP (which is fairly common) they will never find each other.

I don't know anything about that NAS so I can't help with specifics, so see if there is anything about changing firewall settings or see if there is a user forum for it and ask there.

Hi,

I've solved my problem. I've bought a new nas-filer (219) from QNAP.
So I have now a very good streaming rate.
