Missing Albums
Posted by: hannoy63 on 19 December 2014
Can anyone suggest a reason why the Unitiserve in my main system can see all the albums stored on a Buffalo NAS, but when I select the NAS as the source on Superuniti in my bedroom only approximately a third of library is available?

I can think of many many reasons.
If you are selecting the nas as a server / source on the Superuniti, and you don't see your music, then the UPnP (DLNA) server software on the nas has issues. It may not be running, it may not be set up right, it may need to (re)scan the music folder(s), etc.
Why are you doing it this way? You own a Naim server -- use it as the server for both systems!
The SU can only see what the server makes available.
Why would two completely different servers -- different in both software and hardware -- give different results?
I think that you're misunderstanding something about how these server / player networks work. The player (Superuniti), as HH wrote, only sees what a server sends to it. I don't know what's not right with the nas's server, but something isn't right. The SU isn't "stand alone" -- as you have it set up, it depends on a server to be in proper working order. It sounds like only one of your servers is in proper working order.
I have a similar setup, with a UnitiServe and a Synology nas. I use the nas only for backup. It does have a server, but I keep it turned off as a second server would be redundant.
