Synology media server and building library

[andreart]

Hi. I have 3 different Synology servers. Sharing my music with Media server and DLNA to other devices.

Before buying check that Synology was supported and it is easy to build library https://faq.wiimhome.com/en/support/solutions/articles/72000642736-building-and-managing-a-media-library-from-your-media-server
That I dont need to buy one more hdd and plug to Wiim.
But at the final it is not supported and now removed from support help section

Please can you give advice how to build library on WiiM with Synology NAS ? Indexing NAS files as external HDD.

The make or model of your NAS is more or less irrelevant.
All they need to do is run a UPnP/DLNA server software. This is also responsible to build the library. The renderer (here: WiiM) is not involved.

All WiiM devices with a streaming function are able to access the UPnP/DLNA libraries which are on the same local network as itself.

So go ahead, it will work.

there is no problem to browse audio on nas, but wiim dont want to build inner library like from hdd from NAS. the only one usb port is connected to external DAC and i cannot connect external HDD to it.

You can just add a USB hub. The WiiM can have multiple USB devices attached.

A powered USB hub will also allow you to have more power for the HDD.

Do you want to connect a HDD to your WiiM? In your original post it sounded like you wanted to avoid that:

WiiM can't index remote storage, only SMB browsing is supported.

Maybe you should clarify what you're trying to achieve.

indexing NAS and building inner library.

WiiM can't index your NAS, and the media server on your NAS is likely much better too.

If you're looking for a better media server then try MinimServer.

AssetUPnP gives excellent results on a Synology NAS.
