Several regulars in the forums (including me) have stopped running LMS on their QNAP NASs in favour of running LMS on a Raspberry Pi, linked to the music files on the NAS. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 with piCorePlayer to run LMS. It's quite a cheap option, you just need the Pi, a cheap case and a power supply. I find it very easy to set up and much, much easier to update LMS versions than when I used to run LMS on the QNAP.
