May I add a collection from other NAS - sky176 - 02-11-2015 09:46

Dear Simon
My setup is like this:
Qnap (with miniserver) (I don't always turn on my computer, so I install miniserver in QNAP instead)
NAS (Melco N1A, where my songs are)
Destop Windows 7 (miniwatch)

May I install a miniserver on N1A?
If not, how do I add Melco music folders onto the miniserver, which sits inside the QNAP?

Best Regards,
Sky Ma

The best approach is to run MinimServer (not miniserver) on the N1A. This enables the MinimServer instance running on the N1A to stream files to your renderer/DAC without the QNAP being involved. I will send you a PM with more information about how to do this.
