  • Moving from ReadyNAS Pro 6 to Synology DS1621+
    How is the Media Server package? On the ReadyNAS, the ReadyMedia / MiniDLNA app started to choke on my files after the collection got a bit large. Source: about 1 year ago
  • DLNA internet radio controller - recommendations?
    We have several DLNA streamers around the house (Pure Jongo A2s -- old but work great), a NAS running minidlna which serves music, and we use Hifi Cast on Android phones to control it -- pointing the Jongos at the NAS. This works well for locally-hosted music. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Tangential question: How could I play mp3 files from an opendir?
    One free server that's been around for a long time is MiniDLNA. It is basic, but it works really well. Much like a webserver, it's configured through text files that you edit. (Or not... I haven't configured a webserver in a very long time.). Source: over 2 years ago
