I've an uniti serve and a first Synology DS212 NAS with music already ripped with DB poweramp.
All is correctly connected to the network. (dhcp is stable, users and rights correctly set etc..)
Of course I may have missed something, but,
1- After one night the Uniserve doesn't build any database from the music shared folder on the nas.
When I try a "rescan" from desktop client > scanable network shares I get a message : "unable to start a share rescan, scanning system is currently busy"
Is there a way to monitoring the rescan ?
Is it so long ? more than 7 hours for around 200 albums ?
2- On a second NAS (always a Syno DS212) I've ripped 2 albums from the Unitiserve.
Why the system build the "HQ" and "LQ" folders in addition the the "MQ" folder where albums are stored ?
What signifies these names ?
3- The UNITI SERVE reference manual (section 9) talks about a "downloads" folder in the unitiserve's hard drive.
I do no find it.
How to create this folder ?
I see the "EX" folder (in addition of HQ LQ and MQ) but I cannot copy anything here.
Thanks in advance for any help on these points

Bonjour Jean-Luc,
Which version of the uServe do you have? 1tb internal hard drive? 2 tb hard drive? Solid-state drive? Only the 2tb version has the Downloads folder and software to support you saving files to it. The solid-state drive does not create a "Downloads" folder on the external nas. You may be reading the latest version of the Reference Manual, but have an older unit.
Your point 2 -- I think that Naim never implemented all those folders. My older version of the uServe (1tb hard drive from 2011) had those folders but they were always empty. I would just ignore them.
Your point 1 -- scanning the already-created and enabled "network shares" should not take hours. I am just wondering if you properly set up the shares and "enabled" them. Are you using the web interface? If so, when you go to System > Network Shares > Manage Shares, you should see a list of folders. But only if the folder says "Enabled" will the Serve play music from it. You can select a folder and click the Enable button at the bottom of that screen. Once enabled, the system will scan it and you can see the files (on the web interface, on your iPhone with nServe, etc.)
Remember -- for the cd's you rip yourself, the uServe has to create a "store" for those files. For the music you ripped and is on your nas, you just "enable" the folder the music is in. I hope that helps!

Bonjour Bart,
I actually have a 1tb version with hard drive.
This explain why I do not find the downloads folder.
Yes I read the latest version of the manual but for an old unit.

Ok, I suspected something like that...
Point 1
I've created a shared folder on my computer hardrive and another one on the NAs with the main storage for the ripped music from the uServe.Than I copied one or two albums on these folders.
All works fine.
So there is something wrong with the "music" folder with actually 269 album in around 200 folders.
I've checked all parameters (compared to 2 resents folders mentioned above) but all seems ok.
I've probably missed something.
I use both web interface and desktop client.
The folders are enabled
Yes that helps
I will search why this problem happens ....

Well,
I've renamed the NAS and the shared folder (over the synology interface (DSM).
I addition I've set the new folder as media content (always over DSM)
(the new name for the folder is "musique" (in french) so I've also added this word for automatic scan in naim desktop client)
Now that's work as expected.
JL
Thanks Bart for you help
