I needed to do this so I may see my office CPU,s and printers but they cannot see me. The router is before this taped off of my office fios router. I’ve never used Twonky so can’t comment on it.įirst off my office system is static. This requires Java on the NAS – let me know if you want to try this or check the documentation on the MinimServer webiste. It does have one quirk it insists that all your music be stored in a “music” folder on the NAS (you can make subfolders). It’s not bad, particularly for non-classical music. Synology makes one called Audio Station that you can download for free, and there is an iPad app to control it (get from the app store). If you want to install a music server on the NAS, you have several choices. I am away from home right now but I did keep notes about this after I found the info on the internet. In Windows, the Synology will show up in Windows Explorer (open up the Network item in the panel on the left) which makes it easy to move music files around. For copying music, you can use the “Upload” function in File Station, or use the usual copy/paste functions from Windows. I don’t use JRiver so others will have to help there, but for JRiver I think you are done except for copying the music onto the NAS and then setting the configuration options in JRiver, which is a bit complicated. I’m not clear about whether you want to use JRiver as your music player, which will mean leaving the computer running all the time, or install a server on your NAS. You need to give each folder appropriate permissions – this is different than what I was used to on Windows, but not hard. At the root level these need to be shared folders (“Create shared folder” not “Create folder”) or it will be hard to work with the folders from your PC. Then use the File Station app that comes with DSM (the Synology operating system, Disk Station Manager) to create folders to store your music. Once that’s done you don’t need it anymore. Install this on your PC and it will help your PC or Mac talk to the NAS, set up your admin accounts, etc. Again, these separate instances could presumably address different sets of library folders.The CD that came with your Synology NAS should have a program on it that, IIRC, is called “Synology assistant” or something similar. This possibility is IIRC documented on the forum. In certain limited cases (and again I haven't tried this), it is also apparently possible to run more than one instance of MinimServer on the same device. By selecting (in the control point) the server instance to be used, you would be selecting different music libraries. So you could have one instance of MinimServer running on the NAS where the music folders are stored, addressing one set of folders, and another instance running on a PC or Mac running on the same network and addressing another set of folders. Recent versions of MinimServer have greatly improved the performance of the software when it is working with a music library on another device on the network. This is by way of a thought experiment I haven't tried it.
