The Terramaster DLNA server isn’t great but Plex can be installed on it and runs quite well
yeah I dislike UPNP/DNLA pretty crap. Tried Plex, too bloaty although I believe there is Plex music which is bit more stripped down.
I use LMS on a raspberry pi, so it uses the slimsqueeze feature of the wiims
You're holding it wrong ;-)
For the vast majority of users Lyrion is an unnecessary complication; most are content with just an album and albumartist index!
You are always saying things like this. What is complicated about Lyrion in your opinion? It’s slightly different but really not that difficult to set up.
I spent 1 hour trying to install it on my nas recently, and failed miserably!
And yet I managed it a couple of years ago, again after an hour or so.
Maybe I'll try again, but tbh, as Simbun says, I'm a basic user that only needs artist / album for my CD rips so mininserver suffices.
It starts with the number of NAS devices that cannot even LMS ...
Most users have modest collections (looking at the stats only ~5000 Lyrion installs have more than 20,000 tracks) with only the basic tags populated, who would be well catered for by WiiM if only it indexed remote shares e.g. Sonos, BluOS e.tc.
Given there are an array of NAS packages to fulfill those requirements (MinimServer, Plex, Jellyfin etc), why would they want/need to purchase dedicated hardware or perform a docker install?

It takes me about 5 minutes to install and setup on my NAS . I presume you have Intel based NAS where you need to run Docker?
My library is 300,000 so LMS is great for that.
I haven't been impressed with any of the free UPNP servers/apps.
I solved. Error was http address, right address is 192.168.178.68\foldername thanks to all helper.
Last think, only if possibile: i have https://myaddress.ddns.it. Is possible for making work nas from out home network?

Shared folders are accessed using the SMB protocol, which is blocked by most ISPs.
Given the WiiM Home app isn't a player why would you want to access your NAS from the internet?
Please i need a player?
If you're on Android Symfonium can be used to connect to your NAS and index your collection.
many thanks
I finally installed it on my NAS yesterday and it’s totally worth it. It was pretty straightforward but Google will point you to some tutorials as well. My issue with Lyrion had mostly been speed (or the lack of it) and that seems to have been solved by switching from a Pi to the NAS. Still using the Pi to feed my headphone amp but using the web interface for Lyrion on the NAS.I spent 1 hour trying to install it on my nas recently, and failed miserably!

It’s a great way to avoid using the WHA. I’d still prefer using Plexamp but Lyrion with Material skin is the next best option and,for the time being, probably the best option to play locally stored music on Wiim devices.
It's fine on my Pi5 4gb. 320,000 music library. A full rescan including album art search/download only takes a few hours.
It's blazing fast in use
My NAS is fast enough for LMS quad core realtek but Synology have dropped support. It started to slow down around 250,000 track library scan though.
Might be the 5 that’s making the difference. I‘m using a Pi 4. Library about the same size. Lyrion is a lot faster on the Nas. Should have done the installation on the NAS a long time ago.
It was fast on my Pi with a partial library. With the full library, it was fully functional but the lag was enough to annoy me.
I’d recommend it to anyone with a spare Pi or a NAS that supports Docker to improve the Wiim experience by a lot.
