Running multiple instances MinimServer on QNAP and selectable audio format

The first feature on the QNAP, I just figured out what could be a solution. As the newer QNAP servers are capable of running Virtual Machine (with Windows or Linux) then you could run several instances of MinimServer, one on the OS from QNAP and on the VMs. The number of VMs is depending on your RAM size.

Does the virtual machine look exactly like another QNAP from a MinimServer perspective? If so, this is a great feature!

Edit: I read your post again and it appears the VM would look like a generic Linux machine rather than another QNAP. If so, the Linux x86 installation package for MinimServer should work. I''d be interested to hear whether this can be configured successfully for automatic startup using the minimserver/bin/setup command.

Quote:The second one, in my view could really be usefull, also at this stage there are not many applications/DLNA servers that do this.

Thanks for the positive feedback on this idea.
