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.

That’s really disappointing, especially since Synology support was clearly mentioned before. If DLNA browsing is still limited, the only workaround seems to be using a UPnP media server like MinimServer or Plex on the NAS, but it’s not the same as true indexing.

I’d say using Minimserver, Assetupnp or even Synology’s own Media Server is “true indexing”. Why do you think it’s not the same?

No issues with LMS on a Pi.

I can understand wanting Synology NAS to be server and music storage, I had LMS running on Synology for a few years but support stopped from Synology and Pinkdot, so I had to shift it over to a Pi. Glad I did as it's a bit faster, especially on full rescan, and it has features the older LMS 8 lacked
