Post Push media files from NAS to HD Mini2
Hi guys,

I am working with:
    A Synology NAS (DS212+)
    ACRyan HD Mini2
    Iphone

What I want is to play music without having to turn on my television every time.

I know logitech squeezebox offers functionality (with an Iphone app) to operate the squeezebox to push files from centrally stored files to the squeezebox.

That's what I want for my acryan HD 2Mini too. Is this possible?

Install Iphone IMediaControl from sitecom(Free App)

make sure upnp server is on mini2 and the Synology

In iMediacontrol select Synology as media server
You should see a list of media
Select the music you like to play

Select ACRyan mini as renderer


My setup Router_USB_media_server--> POHD2 as renderer --> Amplifier

Hi Guys,

I've tried to push music from my NAS to the mini, and even without changing settings in my router it works.

However, I am only able to stream one song at a time, where I would like the device to keep on streaming songs from the selected folder. I've tried playlists, but the imediacontrol doesn't show these.

Can anyone help me?

Peter

Well, my findings are that imediacontrol is a bit shaky. Sometimes it plays a whole album, sometimes it does not. Sometimes it stops in the middle of a song and returns to the previous. Kind of weird.
If there is a more stable app, i wouldn't mind paying for it.

No not really.

You can search apps on UPNP and have a look at the comments and ratings
