NDX and UPnP questions

Posted by: Ian P on 29 March 2013

I have taken the dive into streaming and bought a second hand NDX. So far, so good, really impressed with the SQ from the NDX. Blown away in fact

 

However, the jury is out on the n-Stream iPad app (compared to the Sonos app I'm used to - so maybe it's just me adjusting?).

 

One issue at the moment is that I would like to be able to specify a specific folder on my NAS rather than have the whole drive "indexed". Is this possible? For the moment I'm using the drill-down by folder, but unless the app is in "UPnP compatibility mode", there is some nonsense with album tracks appearing in the wrong folders. With compatibility mode on the feature set is somewhat reduced.


BTW I'm running TwonkyMedia on a QNAP TS-212.

 

Thanks for any help or advice on alternative ways of doing things.

Enjoy your opera - I have that Hogwood on order BTW, so thanks for the recommendation.

The opera is a bit easier to enjoy when it is in the right order. 

 

Let me know what you think when you get it. My wife and I love it. There are many gems contained therein.

From the Twonky web console I selected "Rebuild database."

 

The fix I used is actually the one described here:http://community.twonky.com/twonky/topics/twonkymedia_dis_order_my_music_tracks

 

It seems to work now. My opera title sorts in the right order. My tags and file naming were always correct. It is Twonky that needed fixing.

Luckily I did not have to edit Twonky files to get things working as I have zero knowledge in LINUX. I manage my music (mainly WAV files plus some FLACs and AIFFs) with MediaMonkey, which automatically create a *.thm file for each album. Twonky can read the tag info contained in thm files without problems.
