Handling a compressed and uncompressed library simultaneously?

[pgbj]

hi
first off, thanks again for a great piece of software which along with Bubble has revitalised ny music listening.

I have all my library in FLAC in one folder hierarchy and a mp4 compressed copy mirror. When I am using my lical Cambridge CXN renderer I use flacc. But sometimes I use a renderer that only supports mp4. Is there a way of running another instance against this other hierarchy?

(I am running minimserver on a Synology NAS)

thanks

What is the exact model of Synology NAS that you are using?

DS216+II running DSM6.2.1 - Intel processor

On this model, it might be possible to do this using Docker. I have done this on QNAP (see this thread) but not on Synology. I will try it on my Synology DS713+ some time in the next few days and let you know how it goes.

as a computer science graduate I perhaps should have thought of virtualisation! mind you it had only just been invented in 1981.....

thanks

It worked!

I basically followed the instructions for the Qnap but there were a few differences...

- the docker.sh script didn't work because the hardcoded paths to getcfg were wrong, so I just ran the "docker build" command directly
- I had to take off the ".bin" extension
- I had to run as root, not just admin, otherwise I got a socket permission error
- the UI for the Docker app on Synology is different but I muddled through.

Now have two instances running and visible to my control point and BubbleUpnp server even makes them both visible over the internet.

Thanks!
