[slim] Re: Slimserver wants a FAST machine
... with you Mr MelonMonkey, I run Slimserver from a QNAP TS-101 NAS that I bought specifically for the job as I liked the idea of a dedicated machine with a small power need. It's just too slow! Streaming seems fine. Maybe I use it differently from most others but I want view and play around with my collection from my PDA, Laptop or PC. Doing so is just like, as you say, loading a graphically intensive site from a poor/ overloaded server. And how many times have you hung around for the pages to load?!! It spoils the whole experience for me - may have to put Slimserver back on a (fast) PC. Looking forward to seeing if Logitech have some ideas on this - perhaps they will add track discreet advance/back buttons to the top of the machine as well - oh the number of times I've wished for those!! -- TonyCharman TonyCharman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4886 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30145 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Qnap TS-101 iTunes
sbooth, this post has been sort of continued somewhere else in the forum. Essentially it is not currently possible for qnap to see a shortcut to a folder on an outside machine on the same network. But then that probably leaves the new Squeezebox / Infrant NAS partnership with immedaite obvious limitations... -- TonyCharman TonyCharman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4886 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25242 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Qnap TS-101 Update
After a few messages backwards and forwards to QNAP ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on the subject, I got the following reponse: About your request, we didnt support yet. You cannot use a shortcut on TS-101. So unless Paul is able to provide a work around, for the moment there isn't a solution. But that leaves me wondering how the Infrant ReadyNAS NV Squeezebox solution that Slimdevices have packaged up recently, is working. Presumably it too has these (and iTunes) limitations. -- TonyCharman TonyCharman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4886 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20393 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

When I follow the links from within the /music folder on the Qnap, I can see the destination files fine, so the links work..but... Slimserver just sees 'name of the linked folder'.lnk If I scan database, it just says nothing found. If I put an MP3 file within the directory, it says 1 file found, so it is obviously looking in the right directory, just not following the links. Any ideas ? I was just about to post a query on this... I eagerly await the solution. In particular it would be great to get ts-101 hosted slimserver to see iTunes (for playlists etc). -- TonyCharman TonyCharman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4886 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20393 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Qnap TS-101 Update
Hi, I used to have the local weather forecast as my standby screensaver, but it may have been pre-qnap. I have registered with Weather.com and put the rss for my local area into rss feeds - but there doesn't seem to be a way of just selecting this one feed. Selecting RSS news ticker as the screensaver loops through all the rss feeds listed in home / server settings / plugins. Could someone document the correct way to get the weather feed onto the Standby screen - so that the time and weather are shown, and stay there. Additionally I have put in a plugin request to Paul at Prog AV for WeatherTime screensaver which fetches the data from weather.com and shows graphical icons on your squeezebox display: http://inside.glnetworks.de/2006/03/11/weathertime-screensaver-plugin-for-slimserver As a side comment, it takes me and I am sure many others a while to try to find answers to questions relating to Slimserver running on the TS-101. I can't help thinking that all the information that is splattered in this SlimDevices forum thread could be better indexed. I have the ability and resources to put something like a dedicated qnap - slimserver wiki into place if enough people think it would be useful. Let me know. -- TonyCharman TonyCharman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4886 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20393 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Qnap TS-101 update problem

[slim] Qnap TS-101 iTunes
Hi, I have been trying to get Slimserver to pick up my iTunes library file so that I can get it's playlists. The file is in it's default location of C:\Documents and Settings\Tony\My Documents\My Music\iTunes . Could someone help me with the address to put into the Home/Server Settings/iTunes/ iTunes Music Library. Would it be something like (ipaddress of machine running iTunes)\Documents and Settings\Tony\My Documents\My Music\iTunes ??

[slim] Qnap TS-101 Slimserver
Not sure if I am missing something obvious, but here goes: Bought my Qnap TS-101 (from Scan) advertised as Slimserver ready. But after installing and initiating the drive I see no mention of Slimserver anywhere - nor in the documentation or the Qnap website. Am I supposed to install Slimserver myself onto the unit? If so, does anyone have instructions to do so.
