Have you been able to make this work with a VPN connection?

No,, I have not tried yet. I am running a backup between the places using SSH tunneling. Not exactly the same. (Not backing up music) http://where-madness-lies.co.uk/computer...-internet/

The reason I asked is that I read that BubbleUpnp Server is offering the possibility to run over internet. I started to think it would be a nice plugin for minimserver.

I do this, frequently. Works great.

I think it should be possible to run BubbleUPnP Server together with MinimServer to get this capability. I haven't tried this myself.

At present, MinimServer only supports local access. I have tried some experiments with VPN but these haven't yet been successful.

It shouldn't be a problem if MinimServer is running in the apartment and the files are also located in the apartment. Having said this, remote browsing and streaming aren't yet supported even though they would make sense in principle.

As I understand this thread is a wishlist,, and Smile

,, remote browsing and streaming are high on my wishlist. It would give me a easy way to listen to my music at work, by my friends,in my car etc.
The reason I not are using Bubbleupnp Server is that I still not have found a easy way to install it on my Netgear NAS. For me a more attractive solution is to havet the function bundled in Minimserver.

Just curious why the remote server has to be installed on your NAS? I have been using Subsonic for some time now installed on my low power Atom 525 based pc. It has a great web interface and app (Dsub).

Server software does not have to be installed on a NAS; indeed, for a long time Asset, for example, was Windows only. But Simon strongly recommends that the server software is run on the the device on which the media files reside, and doesn't access, for example, remote network folders, because this will seriously compromise the performance of the server. So the main reason for running MinimServer on a NAS is that that is where the music files are.

Thank you! Can you go into more detail about how the performance of the server will be compromised? Are you talking about sonic compromises? I have Minimserver running on an old ATOM 525 PC with transcoding at it works great. Unfortunately for me I cant even test Minimserver on my NAS since I have a really old Thecus N4100Pro. I know I need to upgrade but the Thecus still does its job and I am able to stream 1080p movies just fine with it.
