How do you access the package manager from QNAP

[Jack42]

I have finally scraped together enough money to buy a QNAP NAS and I was delighted to see that MinimServer is one of the applications which is supported on their "dashboard". It was unbelievably easy to install. There is one trick you have to know, even though the QNAP file station application will tell you that your music is in Multimedia you have to artificially add the prefix /share/ to the name of the folder. Then it will work.

I have been a happy MinimServer user for a couple of years and one of the wonderful features that you can use is the "MinimStreamer" plugin to transcode from FLAC or Apple Lossless to WAV, which for some DACS sounds better.

According to the new documentation, if you search around you will find this: "From 0.8.1 onwards, MinimServer and MinimWatch have a package management system for installing and removing packages that extend the functionality of the original download. To install and remove packages, select the Packages tab of the Properties dialog. The Packages tab also shows you what packages you currently have installed and what packages are available for installation. After installing or removing a package, you need to select Relaunch from the Packages tab for the change to become effective."

I have looked long and hard through all the QNAP interfaces and I simply can't find the Properties dialogue or the package manager. Has anyone successfully located either of these? I would love to know how to finish the job and get MinimStreamer working on the QNAP.

Cheers,
Jack
