SONOS and MinimServer

[hooliganshark]

Salut! First post here - thought I might try and help with this question as I am running Sonos and minidlna on a raspberry pi. (I plan to replace with minimserver when available!).

Sonos does not have a server of its own, but assumes you have music on your network shared via standard Windows file sharing or Samba. I imagine your Synology NAS includes a Samba server to share any music on the server on the network. If I understand your question correctly, the solution to your problem is (IMHO) to set up Samba on your NAS correctly to share your music folders; and then to set up the music library to access those folders via the Sonos controller software.

Sonos cannot be configured so that the music library is directly built from a UPNP server. But it is possible to play music from a UPNP/DLNA server using any control point. Any Sonos devices are visible on the network as standard renderers. Although I have no experience yet with minimserver, I expect that if properly installed, it would be visible to any control point and renderer in the normal way.

Hope this helps and bonne chance
