Update from Original Minimserver to Minimserver 2

[Phil A]

Simon - no - did not uninstall the previous version. I just did what Synology prompted me to do by updating. The screen popped up with the (three) tabs (the second one being the license (which I did not look at) and the (file) location was blank. I figured it wouldn't hurt anything so I copied and pasted it.

Due to the way the current integrated AV system is set-up, until I get another amp (on my to do list and I'm using balanced in and outs vs. going through the HT Bypass on the preamp as I did a while back) I borrow an amp from a secondary system and take it into the main system and connect the left and right channel pre-outs of a receiver (since it can't drive my main speakers) and use different speaker cables (just unplug and plug as the main system is too much of a pain to get to the back of it and I don't use it for HT tons with other systems - gets used most of the time for 2-channel but did watch something last night).

So I just went through the Synology update process and then hooked the system back to 2-channel and the playlist was there and it worked as I played part of the first song. I then turned it off. My big concern was going through an update process and then not having it work as right now I have a back-log of things that I need to do. Lately, the main system is mostly used on Thursday night when my friend comes over for a listening session. When I was out of commission, it was almost 4 months that the system was not on and I'm not even caught up on a bunch of file downloads I bought in recent times. I just didn't like an update sitting there long term (I do that with everything - have helped a bunch of others with computer or mobile phone stuff that just don't do updates so I know how that can cause issues) that I didn't take action on. Even, when I didn't use the system for a bit, I'd log on to the NAS to update things now and then (and all I use the NAS for is music files and it gives me the ability to play it in multiple systems).
