Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Choose NAS
Wow... a lot has been written. Some confusing, some helpful, some plain wrong. So here's my suggestion(s). - If you want a system which just works without fuzzing around: get a Synology NAS. It comes with a fairly recent LMS package. - If you want a NAS, but are willing to tinker a tad bit in order to get brand independence: get whatever NAS covers your other needs, cost etc., and add a Raspberry Pi3 to run LMS. - If you want ultimate flexibility, then go the PC/Linux route. I've been in all three categories over the years. I have been running my own PC based Linux servers at home for 15+ years. Total control, powerful, and all that. But it requires Linux skills. I have run Netgear ReadyNAS for about 10 years at the office, as we partnered with them a while back. Alas they have totally re-vamped their firmwares and are no longer compatible out of the box. Thus I've added a Pi3 running piCorePlayer earlier this year (and am very happy with that setup). And I finally bought some 2011 Synology NAS to investigate Spotty compatibility issues a few months ago. And I was blown away by its features and ease of use. And the fact that it still is getting regular firmware updates. There's no single true answer. It all depends on what you want.

I highly recommend NOT buying or using any NAS. Yes they work, yes there are some decent ones out their, but you get so much more power and use out of a real media server. If you don't want to deal with Windows, NT, or other OSs, I can highly recommend Vortexbox 2.4. It is a media server OS built on Fedora Linux. It easily runs LMS and PLEX as well as other useful powerful programs so it can act as an NAS if you need to store files that are not music, movies, or picture files. An older PC can be used as a target PC to put Vortexbox onto (note: Vortexbox wipes ALL drives and places a Fedora OS on the PC). Or an older PC can be used as a starting point and additional parts added to make the Media Server you need. On an additional note, a true 64bit CPU and Motherboard make the best donor/target PC for Vortexbox. One can add an SSD drive to run the OS on and all other added drives will be storage. I highly recommend not setting up any RAID because it is NOT backup, just make proper timely backups to USB drives with the built in Backing Up procedure. If you have questions about Vortexbox have a look at their website or ask on this forum as several of us are running it. Lastly, note that Vortexbox 2.4 REQUIRES a true 64 bit machine, if the target PC is 32 bit one must use Vortexbox 2.3. I have owned 2 different NAS machines and neither were able to deal with my library or really made a decent LMS Server (and I had high end NAS units).

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Choose NAS
I was recently in a similar situation. Netgear DUO NAS died. I bought a Synology DS218+ and have been very happy so far. Easy installation of LMS, the user interface is far superior to Netgear. I'm not a techie, so the Raspberry Pi solution recommended by others would have been behind me. zbucklyo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3544 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108355 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

For some technical reason which I dont fully understand, yet, LMS seems to be quite picky of the hardware to run on. This is totally different to other Media Players like MinimServer, DSAudio or BubbleUPnP. So your decision should be to which extent you will be relying on LMS. Plus, the more albums, the more media formats, the more complex setup you have, the more you should look to an individual solution using a separate server / player setup like on a Pi. For standard users without such demands and programming know how, I would still recommend a good NAS (of course Synology) but then prefer one with an Intel processor rather than ARM. :) *Server:* LMS 7.9.1-166 Synology @ Sept 04 2017 on DS216Play.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Choose NAS
A NAS is built as a shared storage device with appropriate hardware. A usb disk is highly likely to fail in comparison.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] HELP! LMS cannot find server media files (Raspberry PI/Max2Play)
Hi guys, @mnvelocitypilot: If you are still experiencing issues, please head over to our support forums so I can make sure they do not reoccur. It seems indeed most likely, as already mentioned here, that you could have the wrong set of permissions for your mount point. On Max2Play's Filesystem Mount menu you should find an example value for the permissions parameter. @Grumpy Bob: Yep, our current image is based on Raspbian Jessie, but we are currently working on a new Raspbian Stretch-based one. The settings you mentioned are displayed and editable in our Filesystem Mount plugin. @everyone else: Thank you for stepping up and helping one of our users.
