MinimWatch can't find MinimServer on Synology NAS
Hi, friends. I'm a new user trying to configure a Synology DS216j to work with a MinimServer-friendly iOS app (Esoteric SoundStream) that controls the Esoteric N-05 music streamer, and I'm really struggling. I'd be grateful for any help the community can offer. Thanks in advance.
My steps so far: 1. I set up the NAS on my home network and gave it the name "HomeNAS" (I'm so creative . . .). 2. I uploaded ~3.5TB of music into a folder on the NAS I named "Music" with two sub-folders called "16-44" for ripped CDs and "HiRes" for everything else. 3. I installed (and have since uninstalled and reinstalled) MinimServer on the NAS following the online instructions. MinimServer shows up in the directory as a folder on the same level as the Music folder. 4. I set the MinimServer Content Directory to /volume1/Music (cutting and pasting from the Music folder Properties) and scanned, which took a bit of time, but less than I would have anticipated. The status now shows as "Running." 5. I downloaded MinimWatch onto a few computers now (an iMac, a MacAir and a Lenovo PC). The problem is that MinimWatch remains grayed-out on all three computers no matter what I do, so I can't do any configuring, and the SoundStream app (consequently?) can't locate a music library on the network. What am I doing wrong, folks? Thanks! Postscript: I got MinimWatch running! My sub-folders under Music were called "16-44 Files" and "HiRes Files" -- now that I know the software can't read file names with spaces, I renamed them. However, virtually every line of the scan log shows an error or a warning. So two more questions: Does this mean I have to go through every subfolder (there are hundreds organized by artist) and rename them to eliminate spaces? And why is the SoundStream app still unable to see a music library? Thanks again! |
