Squuezebox Touch playing directly from NAS (Synology DS212+)

[tane0019]

Help guys,

Trying to get the squeezebox touch to play music files directly from my Synology NAS (212+).

Don't know how to do it (or if it is possible to do).

Thanks in advance, EH.

One set-up that I have used successfully is an ARM-based NAS directly connected by a short length of CAT5 ethernet cable to a Squeezebox touch to create an isolated system for playback of my private music library. This required me to install the logitech server software (LMS) on the NAS box and use static IP addressing on the Touch. (I did not need a cross-over patch cable because the Touch supports auto-MDX. Older players probably need a cross-over cable or active switch to make this work.)

Go to Synology web site and download Logitech Media Server package.
Install it on your NAS and start it.
Touch should "see" it and then enjoy your own music library.

Depending on number of songs in your library,
it may take some time for LMS to scan it.
Enjoy...

Just don't activate the automatic rescan. I've done this exact setup for a friend of mine, and that function is broken on the Synology package. Even the manual rescan doesn't work the first time, you always have to launch it twice. Errors in the log seem to indicate that the scanner process is too quick for the SQLite database to become available.
