BANG, there it was! I was just looking through the configuration settings on my NAS and stumbled over a DNS-page where the IP-addresses of three domain name servers was entered. But why do they have to be that on my NAS I wondered? So I deleted them all. Well, that was not the solution. Half of the menus in LMS disappeared (pretty much all the stuff that is not purely local was gone). Okay, so apparently the NAS has to explicitly be told the address of at least one domain name server. Two of the previously entered addresses was external. Probably from an ISP I was using 4-5 years ago. The third was just pointing to my router. When I just enter the local IP of my router as DNS, performance is on top again! The two others was significantly slower it turned out. There must have been a performance-difference also on LMS781 then, but DNS-lookups in such smaller numbers that you wouldn't notice? I am ashamed. I was sure it wasn't my setup that was the problem. I'm happy we have found the reason, but soo sorry to taking all that time from you. I owe you if there's anything you ever need someone to check on an ReadNAS Ultra. Thanks so much for helping me here and for the work you continue to do on LMS :-) */Stig* 'http://www.*rockland*.dk' (http://www.rockland.dk) - 'http://www.*last.fm*/user/rockland' (http://www.last.fm/user/rockland) - 'http://www.*discogs*.com/user/StigNygaard' (http://www.discogs.com/user/StigNygaard) - 'https://*plus.google*.com/+StigNygaard' (https://plus.google.com/+StigNygaard) *Server:* LMS 7.9.1 - 1491548882 @ Sat Apr 8 on ReadyNAS Ultra 2. *Controllers & players:* 2x Squeezebox Touch, [Not used: Squeezebox Classic,] 2x OrangeSqueeze. *Stereo:* Marantz PM6005 and F3/Lyd Audiovector 2.
