Got MinimServer running on my ReadyNAS NVX
I finally took the plunge yesterday and have spent a couple hours trying to install MinimServer on my RedyNAS NVX and in the end I succeeded Smile

The hard part was actually not installing MinimServer which was pretty straightforward due to the excellent description provided by Simon, but to get Java to work properly. I had Java6 installed, which I just couldnt get to run at all. I then updated that to Java 7.10 using the "update-alternatives" command - and that did the trick.

The difference in speed compared to my previous (temporary) setup of running Minim on a Windows PC pointed to the music-share of the NAS is just incredible. While it could easily take 40mins plus to read the files on the PC-setup, now having Minim running 'natively' on the NAS, the 7500 albums with all detailed classical tags you can think of are read and written into cache in 6 or 7 minutes! Incredible Smile

Still early days testing, but seems to run well and stable. Songbook Lite and Kinsky recognized the new Server pretty much instantly. Some major issues with LUMIN, which does not seem to like a new Minim-Location at all but I'll address those in the LUMIN thread in the Linn forums.

For now I'm happy Smile
