I've not tried synctoy, but I would suspect special characters.
Is your USB drive formatted FAT32? Do you have the extra file system
support installed?If not install the Extra File system support, then
reboot. This will enable UTF-8 encoding on Fat32 devices.

I've been using Synctoy to synchronise music files from my Desktop PC to
the USB HDD attached to my LMS Server. I was using LMS on Max2Play and
it worked out-of-the-box.
I've just started using LMS on PiCorePlayer and have set up SAMBA which
gives me visibility of the files on the network. But, w
Everyone has their right price/performance compromise. As the price
creeps up you're heading towards Intel NUC territory and genuine
hardware x86 processors. Hell, you can pick up a Celeron based HP
microserver with four 6gb sata 3.5" drive bays, two gig-e ports and a
bunch of USB3 for £120. No ar

Hi - I've been trying out an Odroid HC1 as a replacement for my Pi2B /
Debian Stretch LMS+Local Player and so far the results look pretty
impressive. Only just available, it's based on the Odroid XU4 but
adapted as a headless micro-ser

I use pCP and a RPi3+ connected to a WD 1TB USB hard disk, it is working
really well. I don't have a problem with any power down issue on the
HDD. Samba is enabled so I easily can add new files.
The initial transfer of the files to the HDD was done by attaching the
HDD directly to the computer th

I would stick to a proper NAS, for use as a NAS. A raspberry pi will
cope as an LMS node.

Ah Ok, I wondered if LMS was killing the QNAP, I have an old TS-119,
which I formerly used as both a NAS, and an LMS server, it's now
consigned to purely NAS duties, as I now run LMS 7.9 on a Pi3,
referencing the NAS files and serving a mixture of pi

Personally I think using a USB is a retrograde step. The Pi's USB
implementation is probably its weakest point. I predict issues where the
USB drive just disappears for no apparent reason. I'd stick with a
network mount. A NAS is going to be far more resilient unless it is
either very old or very

Back to the OP's question. Have you copied the drive already? I would
copy it from a PC. Plug the drive int
Except .. most USB HDD go to sleep pretty aggressively so the latency on
spin up (particularly for high platter count drives) can be in the
region of 6-8 seconds. Would bet the qnap will manage this better than a
USB HDD firmware does. Network latency should add relatively little to
the transactio

Reading the files is faster on USB than the network, scanning would be
faster .
I don't have any suggestions for a suitable USB drive .

hello
now i've raspberri pi 3 and it reads files mounted on qnap ts 269l. qnap
is having issues, could i copy all files from qnap to a normal usb hd
and use this usb hd with rasp for LMS? could it be a way to make LMS
work better then QNAP?
