Nd5xs - No server - Please help!

Posted by: Seaman on 25 January 2014

Hi!

 

I have just got the Nd5xs and hooked it up to my nait-2. I can play internet radio but when i select input upnp its searching for a while and then "no server". I have my network player connected to a Synology NAS (where I stor all my music) through a router. Why can't Nd5xs find the NAS?? I have connected it with cable. I have a macbook.

 

Hope there is someone who can help me?

Hi Seaman

 

Have you started the Synology in built "Media Server" app

Have you installed/configured media server software e.g. Twonky or synology server software on your NAS?

Do you have an artwork image in the same directory as the flac files are in. Mine is in the format "folder.jpg". I also have the image embeded in the flac file too, but to be honest im not sure which is used By n-stream. You can use a free app called Mp3Tag to edit/ check this part. Its very handy app to change the meta data on flac files.

Thx for the help so far. I don't think I have artwork in the same directory. Do U mean that I should put artwork in the same directory as the albums. One file per album? Or do U mean that I should put a folder in the same directory? Hope that U know what I mean...

Sometimes n-stream takes a while to pick them all up. Ive found that clearing n-stream cache can force them through. This can be done via the little wheel at the bottom right of n-stream.
