Streaming only works in UPnP Compatibility Mode

Posted by: SteveSticks on 13 September 2013

I recently purchased a Unitilite and love the sounds and most features.

 

My one problem is streaming.

 

My setup is as follows:

 

-          Unitilite with a wired Ethernet connection.

-          HP NAS Servicer running Windows Home Server 2011.

-          Connected via 24 Port Switch

 

Unless I run in UPnP Compatibility Mode, I cannot reliably play files, sometime tracks play but most of the time the server shows an error, the same track plays fine in compatibility Mode. However then I lose any Playlist and Jukebox capability, and is very slow to browse music and play. I assumed it was because I only had Windows Media and it did not support those features so I installed Asset.

 

n-Stream showed up the Asset Player immediately and listed all of the music very quickly, then after choosing more than a few tracks I started to get the error. When back to Compatibility mode and the same tracks played fine, but with the associated issues.

 

All files and all formats play to my old Squeezebox with no issues.

 

Can anyone help please?

Hi,
I can't really give you the help you need to fix your problem but it may be squeeze server.
I used a squeezebox touch with squeeze server running on my qnap with out any problems at all.when I got a nd5xs on home dem I phoned my qnap dealer as I had read somewhere that squeeze server was now upnp.i was told that It won't work very well and may be unreliable.they talked me through how to enable twonky wich according to them was a better match for the naim streamers.
It may not be the case in your situation,just a thought.

What is a HP NAS servicer?

 

Do you mean proliant?

 

I ran windows on a proliant and it was not a good experience, I moved to OMV, which is a very good experience.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your replies, I forget the HP model, but it is device that has four drive bays, been used for streaming Squeezebox with no issue for 2 years.

 

I have seen other posts with "similar posts" but no solutions. One that saw one suggested that you need a Naim server to get the other features workng.

 

I have email Naim support for a view also.

 

If anyone knows for sure please reply.

 

Thanks.
