1. I thought minimServer is capable to see any music files in the home net even if running on the NAS. Probably not. minimServer is searching in home (NAS) folders only and doesn’t accept any outside addresses writing error “not truePath”. I tried to write //192.168….. and smb://LinuxPC name/usr/home/Music etc. and didn’t succeed. What is wrong? But I can launch second and third minimServers on each PC and MAC. LUMIN will see three or more different minimServers then. Complicated but possible. I didn’t want to use PCs capacity for music just NAS only. Any recommendations?

Welcome to the MinimServer forum!

When MinimServer is running on a NAS, it can access any files on the NAS (or mounted on the Linux filesystem of the NAS).

If you want to use the NAS's capacity for music instead of using the the PC's capacity, you can place all your music on the NAS and run MinimServer on the NAS.

If you want to keep some parts of your library on a PC or Mac and not copy them to the NAS, you need to run MinimServer on the PC or Mac.

Quote:2. Neither Win7 nor iPad nor LINUX were able to configure minimServer on NAS to convert DFF and DSF files to wav24 or wav16 even if described in the guide. minimServer has accepted mp3:wav command only. For any other combination as dsf:wav24 or dff:wav16 etc. an error is occurring “Unsupported transcoding combination”. A combination mp3:flac doesn’t work either. And I have plenty of files in DSF and DFF of course. I can play them directly from NAS on LUMIN without minimServer but without tags as well. Guys from LUMIN told “tagging over minimServer only” it should work………. Any advice?
Thanks and Regards

You need to enter dsf:dopwav and dff:dopwav, not dsf:wav24 or dff:wav16. The combinations that work are listed in this section.
