Thanks Michael and Ralphy. The "toasts" work fine on both Joggler and HDSkin (1920x1080) although (I think) there was a weird thing with the HDSkin where I had to change to Joggler and then back to HD before it worked. One slight aesthetic thing though Michael, wouldn't the "toasts" look nicer

Thanks for the reply epoch1970. My router is providing local DNS. Can't remember the domain name setup offhand but I like your thinking and perhaps with a bit of googling i can get to the bottom of it. I may be back with more questions though . Thanks again for the pointers. Sent from my Nexus

Hmm. I can't summarize the different possibilities in a legible post. So: Do you have a local DNS service and a domain name? Do you know for sure the DNS service is linked with hostnames that get leases from the DHCP server? NAS1 could be sent by Samba over Netbios, and diskstation by zeroconf

I'm quite surprised ape format is not supported as it's popular and ever growing in the hi-res community. Flac is pretty widely accepted as the de-facto lossless compression tool. APE is rather exotic compared to it, without any real advantage. According to this comparison table on
