Hej

Ville høre om der er nogen der kan give mig et svar på om man kan bruge en Ethernet harddisk som music server til sin squeeze box, eller om man skal have en hel computer tændt?

Mvh

Du skal have SlimServer kørende - men det er der vist også flere NAS-bokse der har.

Så ja, du kan bruge en NAS-boks til en SB3, men den skal kunne køre SlimServer ;)

Med venlig hilsen, Mick Johansen

En NAS (Ethernet harddisk om du vil) skal også kunne afvikle SlimServer applicationen for at du kan se og tilgå indholdet via din Slimdevice. Det er langt fra alle der kan det, men du bør nok søge mere information hos http://forums.slimdevices.com/forumdisplay.php?f=18 og af egen erfaring kan jeg sige at Synology 406/407 er rigtig gode til opgaven, ligeledes er ReadyNAS NV+.

Du kan også med fordel bygge en server baseret på Micro-ITX motherboards der ikke anvender mere strøm end ovennævnte NAS'er og du har så et mere fleksibelt system som du uden problemer kan installere flere ting på end lige SlimServer. Linux kunne være en fordel ligeledes vil den kommende Windows Home Server være det.

En "ethernet harddisk" er jo også en computer. Mange af de små NAS-ting man kan købe kører Linux, og her kan Slimserveren sagtens køre.

Er det muligt du kan give eksempler på nogle der kan så?

Hvis dette ikke er forudinstalleret på en NAS, er det så svært selv at installere?

Nej

Kan se at folk skriver noget om at med de nye opdateringer omkring SlimServer, har gjort den betydeligt langsommerer, i så fald er det vel bedere med en almindelig comp der står tændt som samtidig ik bruger meget strøm...?

Til Synology's NAS'er er der lavet en lille feature og beskrivelse som gør det lettere at installere Slimserveren. http://oinkzwurgl.org/ssods

For at performance er go' nok, skal NAS'en ha' tilstrækkelig ram og processor.
(128mb / 500mHz)

Bruger selv en alm. PC som går i Standby når den ikke benyttes.

Jeg har en SB3 med Qnap ts-201 som server. Det fungere fint når du henter musiken fra SB3, men hvis du bruger browseren, vil der være latenstid på siden.

Hvis jeg bruger min bærbare med slimserver er det ingen latens eller noget.

Fandt det her foruminlæg andet sted.

Qnap TS-101 with embedded SlimServer
READ ME FIRST!
Thank you for purchasing the Qnap TS-101 with embedded SlimServer. We hope that this product will
enable you to enjoy your music to the full – without having to leave your computer switched on!
Introduction
The Qnap TS-101 comes pre-installed with the latest version of Slim Devices SlimServer already setup
and configured to run. When you first switch on the device, it will need time to boot up and start the
SlimServer software. Usually this takes around 3-5 minutes. When the Qnap TS-101 has finished its startup
sequence you will be able to go to http://slimserver-01:9000 and get access to the SlimServer web
based front-end. Here you will be able to configure SlimServer in the usual way.
The Music Folder
Within the Public share that has already been created on the Qnap TS-101 you will find two folders; the
music folder and the updates folder. The music folder is there to contain all of your music files. When you
tell SlimServer to rescan your music folder this is where it will look.
Using the included Qnap utility, assign a drive letter to the Public share. When you have done this,
navigate to the music folder in the Public share and drag your music files from your computer to here. We
recommend that you create ABC, DEF, GHI etc folders to make it easier for you to find your music when
you use the “Browse Music Folder” function built in to the Squeezebox menu. Regardless of how you put
your music files on the Qnap TS-101, SlimServer will be able to find your music files as long as they are
in the music folder on the Public share.
When you have copied over all of your music files to the Qnap TS-101, use your web browser to go to
http://slimserver-01:9000 to enter the SlimServer web based front-end. When you are on this page select
the “Server Settings” option and scroll down the page until you see the “Rescan Music Library” section
and click on the “Rescan” button. SlimServer will now scan your music directory for the first time and
build a database of all of your music files. When you run this function for the first time depending on how
many music files you have on the Qnap TS-101 with embedded SlimServer it will take a long time. We
suggest that you run your first music folder scan over night.
Ever time you copy over new music files from your computer to the Qnap, you will need to rescan your
music collection. SlimServer can be set to scan the whole directory or just look for new music. Scanning
for new music of course is a lot quicker.
We do not recommend using any Squeezebox on your network whilst SlimServer is scanning your music
directory.
The Update Folder
Besides the music folder, within the Public share there is also the update folder. From time to time Slim
Devices will issue updates to the SlimServer software. You will be able to download these updates in a
special format for your Qnap TS-101 with embedded SlimServer from
http://www.progressiveav.com/qnap. Once downloaded you simply place the file in the updates folder and
reboot your Qnap TS-101 with embedded SlimServer. As the Qnap TS-101 with embedded SlimServer
reboots the new version will automatically install and when the installation procedure has finished your
Qnap TS-101 will be updated to the latest version of SlimServer.
DO NOT download the standard Linux version of SlimServer from the Slim Devices website as this
file will not work with the Qnap TS-101.

AlienBBC
Included with your Qnap TS-101 is the AlienBBC plug-in for SlimServer.
The AlienBBC plug-in allows you to listen to BBC radio stations and programs that are available from the
BBC website. Everything is already setup for you, so you can just select the BBC programs that you want
to listen to by selecting them from the Internet Radio section on your Squeezebox.
Whilst the included implementation of AlienBBC works well, we recommend that only one Squeezebox
on your network at a time uses the AlienBBC plug-in to listen to the BBC programs that are available. The
reason for this is whilst the Qnap TS-101 is quite a powerful computer, the AlienBBC plug-in takes a lot of
processing power to operate and will degrade the performance of SlimServer. Listening using to more than
one BBC stream using AlienBBC will have a negative effect on other Squeezeboxes on the network that
are attached to SlimServer running on the Qnap TS-101.
Questions and Answers
• Q. Are there any limitations when using the Qnap TS-101 compared to running SlimServer on my
computer?
A. Generally no. You have a full and complete version of SlimServer running on your Qnap TS-101
with embedded SlimServer. We have tested this device with over 10,000 music files on the hard disc
and we have had over 6 Squeezeboxes of varying versions either playing different music files or all
synchronised together playing the same music file without any adverse effects to the general user
experience.
• Q. Can I install other plug-ins that are available for SlimServer?
A. No. Any plug-ins that are available for SlimServer must be in a version that is compatible with the
Qnap TS-101. If you have any plug-ins that you would like to see available for the Qnap TS-101, then
please email qnaprequests@progressiveav.com and we will endeavour to make the plug-in available
as soon as possible. When available, you will simply drop the plug-in into the updates folder in the
Public share and reboot.
• Q. The Qnap TS-101 runs a version of Linux, is it available for us to run other applications on?
A. No. We have worked with Qnap to get SlimServer running on the Qnap TS-101 and they have
decided that they want the Qnap TS-101 to be a closed system.
• Q. I have deleted the music and update folders in my Public share – what should I do?
A. Simply re-create the folders using your computer. Make sure that the folder names are created in
lower case as the Qnap TS-101 runs Linux and is case sensitive.
• Q. How long will SlimServer updates take to become available once Slim Devices issues an update?
A. We will endeavour to get new SlimServer updates made available for the Qnap TS-101 within 1
week of release by Slim Devices. We need time to test and make sure everything is working well
before we release an update.
• Q. How long will you support updates to SlimServer on my Qnap TS-101?
A. We will keep issuing updates to SlimServer for as long as the Qnap TS-101 hardware can run the
SlimServer software without affecting the overall user experience.
• Q. What happens if my hard disc crashes and my Qnap TS-101 won’t restart?
A.You will need to return your Qnap TS-101 to us for re-configuration. If your unit is still within
warranty then we will re-configure your unit and return it to you free of charge.
NOTE: We will endeavour to retain data stored on your unit but this will not always be possible.
If you have any further questions, queries or suggestions please email them to
qnapinfo@progressiveav.com or contact support on 0871 871 9747

Jeg bruger selv en gammel pc til formålet.
Hvis du finder en NAS så vær opmærksom på at det måske ikke er verdens hurtigste løsning og at du måske vil opleve en smule delay i menuerne.
En gammel pc bruger måske lidt mere strøm, jeg har kun min tændt når jeg hører musik så det ekstra strømforbrug er noget som bekymre mig alt for meget.

Hvis jeg ikke havde en pc stående ville jeg købe en Mac Mini. Den er lidt dyr men måske lidt overkill i performance. Tilgengæld er den lille, støjsvag og bruger ikke så meget strøm.

 

Jeg har en Synology DS106 hvor jeg har installeret Slimserver 6.3.1 (ikke den nyeste version som er 6.5 mener jeg).

 

Dette fungerer super. Den bruger 4W ved idle og 14W når den kører. Jeg har smidt en 250Gb hardisk i, og der er ingen problemer med Squeezeboksen. Alle menuer kører flydende, og det hele spiller faktisk perfekt.

Det er ret nemt at installere, og i samme omgang kan du også bruge din NAS til ftp/www/mail server osv.
