NDX, N-Stream and a Synology NAS indexing.

Posted by: Mr Magoo on 31 December 2013

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen.

 

I'm fairly new to Naim but was helped 10 days or so ago with the set up of the Synology NAS by several Forum members in setting up Synology's media server app. Since then it has worked well.

 

Yesterday I copied the contents of the Music folder on the NAS to a portable hard drive via my laptop by way of creating a backup.

 

Later when using the NDX perhaps 30% of the album artwork was missing from n-stream. Logic told me to re-index the music folder which I did subsequently several times but since then several problems have arisen. On one occasion the artist lists were heavily abbreviated, on another the artist lists displayed the full quota of names but there were no albums or tracks listed. On another, one album contents was shown in every artist's folder.

 

Please does anyone have any suggestions. I have tried to sign up for minim but in trying to get registered with Oracle for the Java software required to run the Minim I've been thwarted as I can't get a password registered so that option isn't currently open to me.

 

Thank you in anticipation of your replies.

Hi Mr Magoo

 

I don't know how much help i can be. I have had a Synology for a couple of years now and have never (touch wood) had any problem like this. One thing I have noticed on other threads though is that most problems involving n-stream the solution seems to be to flush the cache. You could try this. I have an Android tablet with UpnPlay which I use instead of n-stream so I'm afraid I can't be much help on the n-stream side I'm afraid.

 

Good luck getting things sorted.
