Not sure where the recording is or how I can play it?

The recording has been saved on the Synology. To find it, use File Station to open the MinimServer share and navigate to the appData/rec folder. You should see a .aac file in the rec folder.

Quote:Also when I tapped on either of the 2 playlists that have appeared on the iPad before I made the recording for the Radio 3 (under playlists), although both of them are there as you suggest, neither of them cause it to start playing ...... (if they were supposed to).

They are supposed to play but some renderers have trouble doing this.

For a Naim renderer, the first stream (with [R3] in its name) should play if you do both of the following:

1) Enable UPnP compatibility in n-stream
2) Set the stream.transcode property in MinimServer to *:wav

After making these changes, clear the n-stream cache and restart MinimServer.

Hello Simon,

Many thanks for this. The files were where you said they would be. Ones I would intend to keep I will open in Audacity, edit out the spare, convert to FLAC and then put in one of my other audio folders on the NAS to play as required. As far as the other issue with listening the stream I might as well just use the iRadio function on the Naim and play them from that, but many thanks again for sorting me out with this. It is a feature which I can see myself using a lot, especially during the Proms!

Is it worth deleting the various .mcache files from the MinimServer appData folder every so often too?

Kind regards,

Michael
