This is often down to cpu versions very few things not having an x86 type of cpu can run SoX and even if they can it can be down to peculiarities in the NAS linux distro or the NAS vendors LMS distro (synology roll thier own LMS package and maybe they got lazy and made a one size fits all package , some of thier nas boxes should be able to run SoX ?). This is also the case with RasPI and plug computers , I dont think many arm cpu based things can do this (if any at all) . For maximum possible compatibility the server is better x86 based . This is one of the cons with a nas or plug computer server , low power small and silent must cost somewhere . there are good compromises like the vortex box or HP microserver . This is not really a problem if you know about it and are willing to work around it :) For example only use formats that can be played natively on the squeezebox , best bet is flac ,aiff also works but i think there is a bug with hirez aiff (but then the workaround is to convert them to flac ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97818 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
