Configuring Qnap / iTunes / Soundbridge / Twonky
Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 1:10 pm
Hi!
Here my question, I have done a lot of googling and can't seem to get the answer I need, I am beginning to think that there is no answer TBH. Can anyone help?
Set up:
NAS : Qnap 100 (enabled iTunes and twonky)
Media Player : Pinnacle SoundBridge
PC : iTunes and twonky installed
Music stored on my NAS under "Z:\Music"
iTunes can read all the music in the 'Music' section of the library
There is a second entry in the library under 'shared'. Entitled 'NAS'
My aim:
To play my music collection stored on the NAS without having the PC switched on
The problem:
The Soundbridge can detect the Media Player on the PC and also the NAS and I can select either as the media player, however, in order to play my music files stored under Z:\Music and I have to play it via the PC, I cannot play it via the NAS, it just shows up as an emplty playlist. The only thing it can play are MP3s uploaded to the NAS via the upload option on the Remote Server.
Is there a way to set it up so I can play my music collection stored on the NAS without having the PC switched on
