Problem with Buffalo NAS and NAIM Uniti
Posted by: ZMCK on 09 March 2011
Hello,
I began to use a Buffalo NAS (Linkstation Live) during the last year.
First it was fine, I began with some (10 to 20) albums to test and they all played very well.
Then, I downloaded most of my collection (1000-1500 albums) to the NAS "share" directory and I noticed that some did not showed up at the Uniti uPnP folders directory. I always use the folder access because all my music is organized in individual directories, one for each album.
First I thought that it was because part of my music files were encoded in .APE format that the Uniti can´t read. But, after I began to recode all my .APE to .WAV or .FLAC, things got even worst!
I clearly noticed that each time I increased the number of files in WAV or FLAC format, the uPnP input showed up fewer albums !?!
Thinking that there is a limit to the number of directories the uPnP input can handle, I tried to create some directories to split the albums in smaller number for each genre of music.
No solution, now only FOUR directories show up at the uPnP !!!
Most of the files are now in FLAC or WAV (44/16) and some in 96/24 FLAC and they can ALL be found and played from any computer that access the NAS. Also, the Uniti has been updated to 3.0 firmware.
Any idea about what should be the problem?
Thanks!
