Does anyone have a walk-through on how to connect Element X to NAS (or any other in-house streaming services)? I am running MinimServer from Synology for other devices at home.
thanks
thanks
i have successfully connected both element units and use jriver to access/play my 12Tb nas (synology).
It couldnt be easier for me as both elements show up in jriver as players. Just need to select what to play on which device.
I access my NAS via the MA remote app to my Element X. The NAS is found under 'Files' and once the database is scanned all my music are there in their proper order. Only slight issues are with album cover art - sometimes they don't load up properly when playing a file, but the music playback is generally smooth
You access it as SMB mount? Because I think this is the only way to see it, or are there any other hidden alternatives?
And there is no limit in how many titles the streamer can read in? I wonder why mine stops in the middle.Yep via SMB mount

Interesting, I will try this. I thank you.A trick I found is during scanning I have to make sure my phone does not go to sleep - I basically swipe my phone's screen every 5 seconds during the scan to keep the phone awake.
I have a big music collection - over 900Gb including a lot of DSF files. When I rescan I never have problems with missing files / folders as long as I keep the phone awake.
sorry for the lack of clarity. I have jriver installed on computers and tablets throughout the house and can access all my music files from any location and play across any system (I have 3).You installed Jriver on Synology? And you control the playback from the NAS of from the steamer? I would be interested to know how you did this, is there possibility you could share?

yes, windows, ios (i think but dont know for sure since i dont have one) & androidAh, so you stream from JRiver, It reads from NAS and streams to Matrix. Got it.
JRiver on tablets, Androids?
Hi aigo
Didn't you use the MA app and add the music folder from Synology to the MA app?
If the folder sharing protocol is SMB v1 or v2, you can add the folder to MA app in Library-Files-Add SMB sharing folders, only folder path, username and password needed.
