JRiver on NAS - Lets make it happen!

[Patatorz]

Hello,

 

i used to have few network players (Yamaha NP2000, Ayon NW-T, Lumin A1, Aries and 3dlabs Nano) but I need to say that the openhome interface of the Lumin and Aries is really good compared to standard UPnP players on iOS like PlugPlayer, Audionet ...

By the way my 3dlabs nano is really the best I had in hands but the only issue is that it is UPnP compliant and not openhome.

It works fine with minimserver but the issue is the iOS app which is a nightmare.

Jriver/Jremote with all the possibilities is for me the only solution that makes sense in terms of customer experience.

 

My problem is that it is running on a PC that I don't plan to switch on all the time. I would prefer to have Jriver running on my NAS (synology). I just need the server not all the jriver GUI that I could manage sometime with my PC.

So is there any chance that the Jriver server could be bring on synology NAS, only to play music (for me) in order to manage music through Jremote ?

 

I think it makes a lot of sense !

 

Best Regards

Sure it works !!! But I'm not with Android devices :-)

Hi Tranz, sorry but I think,I misunderstood your post. If I reformulate you mean that I can use bubble upnp on my synology NAS, configure it as an openhome and use my dlna renderer (3dlabs nano) with for example the LUMIN and auralic app under iOS ?

With the support of Tranz, I installed BubbleUPnP server on top of minimserver and it works fine with my 3dlabs nano :-)

I can use the LUMIN and Auralic app under iOS without any problem.

If you want J.River to run on a NAS; then build a NAS running Windows. Chris has described the CAPSv4 Cortes; but there's no reason you couldn't run J.River on much lower powered processor if you are simply using it as a UPnP server.

 

An Atom motherboard (or similes) in a case you can put 3 or 4 drives in. Install Windows on an SSD or mSATA card; set the drives as a RAID for convenience (and some redundancy) and then you're all set.

 

It's not about the hardware really; it's about the software and setup (IMO).

Hello, i'm not sure I want to invest in a bunch of components in a case as the capsv4. If I need to do something I just need a i5 fanless with a ssd for the OS in order to run only Jriver and to tag a NAS that could also do,something else than playing music. I can do it myself :-)

So let's come back on the topic concerning jriver on a NAS.
