Making the synnology 212j and NDX work together

Posted by: hertz on 25 April 2013

I got a synology 212j. Set it up on my router. Woohoo :-)

 

The NDX as well as the 212 is connected to the router. When I fire up the NDX and set the input to upnp, it searches and says it cannot find the server (message – no server).Am I doing this right ?

Hi

did you install Media Server from the Package Centre?

this is you're UPnP server that ndx will require.

once running, just copy you're music to the Music folder already shared on your synology. There is a lot of info on. Their website also about the setup, etc...

good luck, Anton

Also - how do I copy files into the synology? I setup a shared folder on synology. I am thinking that the file station is what i need to use to copy. When i click the file station - it starts searching and nothing happens.

There is already a folder shared called Music.

i use an iMac so I use finder to connect to my synology, I then just drag and drop the artist folders from my mac to the Music folder on the synology. Nstream will then sée these albums for playing.

Thanks Guys. The server seems to be working fine.

 

But for the life of me, i cannot  get the file station to work. When I click on the file station icon, i can see the folder / magnification glass icon going round and round. It just sits there like that. I use the chrome browser.
