Help! SuperUniti won't see my Synology NAS any more!

Posted by: Goon525 on 10 October 2014

Hi, I am running a SU with 3.21 firmware, latest version of Naim app on iPad and iPhone, a Synology NAS 411j, through an Apple Extreme router attached to a Virgin Superhub 2 used as modem only. Occasionally in the past, the SU has lost the UPnP but I've always easily persuaded it to reconnect by rebooting the SU. It so happens that I haven't used the UPnP input for a while (been doing a lot of streaming via Qobuz), but when I tried to today, it simply wouldn't see the NAS. A reboot hasn't helped. There are are a few variables that have changed since I last used it - Naim app instead of nStream and a firmware update from Synology. I have no difficulty seeing the files on the NAS from my iMac. (I tried connecting the SU directly to the NAS rather than through the router, but that didn't help.) Help most gratefully received.

On the basis you updated the nases firmware I would log onto it via a browser and actually check that UPNP is on and that its referencing your music folder(s)

Gary I - Thank you so much! Problem solved. It seems that the NAS Firmware update required a further series of 'Package Updates' - which I hadn't bothered with because I don't use much of the Synology functionality. But one of them is a 'Media Server' which did have to be updated before it would work. Thanks for saving me any further tearing out of hair!
