I agree with the second half of this statement, but I would question the first half.

From a quick look at Synology Media Server, it seems to me that the most important differences are:ġ) MinimServer allows all tags to be indexed Synology Media Server supports only Album, AlbumArtist, Composer, Genre and Date.Ģ) MinimServer provides Intelligent Browsing Synology Media Server provides customizable multistep browsing trees.Ĭan anyone with more experience of Synology Media Server suggest any other significant advantages of MinimServer? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and I hope that this solution helps other users if they run into the same problem in future.(03-12-2013 13:04)simoncn Wrote: I've been asked about the main advantages of MinimServer compared with Synology Media Server. I might have to go back and combine some albums that have become split since the update to Asset 7.2. I can now see all the tracks in Asset and a higher number of albums. Presumably, Asset had received the correct access rights only for that recent addition. I recall that I added the â€œwavâ€ sub-directory much later than the others. In addition, I had to scroll to the bottom of the relevant page to find the checkbox. The checkbox was hidden in the depths of the configuration menu and only became visible when I selected the â€œSystem internal usersâ€ and then edited the Assets permissions. Once that box was checked and the settings saved, I was able to clear the database and rescan all folders in Asset. At the bottom of the permissions edit page is a small checkbox marked â€œApply to this folder, sub-folders and filesâ€. Asset is included as a â€œSystem internal userâ€ and has read rights to music.

In the depths of the permissions for the â€œmusicâ€ directory, as one the shared folders, I discovered a pull-down that allowed me see and edit the rights of users other than those that I had created. The problem seems to have been solved and the folder permissions issue was the key. Re: Asset 7.2 not scanning after update to Synology DSM 7 What can I do to encourage Asset 7 with its full licence to scan and replay the entire music collection? Sorry if the answer is somewhere here on the forum, but a search rvealed nothing that has helped. It seems that for some reason, Asset will not scan beyond the same 72 tracks on 8 albums by 3 artists.

clearing the database and rescanning all folders.

stopping indexing by other servers and then manually scanning in Asset.

uninstalling Asset, restarting the NAS, re-installing Asset.

I have tried a number of typical cures, including: Sadly, this falls way short of the 23,632 tracks on 1656 albums by many artsis that are still on the Synology NAS.

However, a scan by Asset 7.2 will only find 72 tracks on 8 albums by 3 artists. My Bluesound devices can also see and play everthing without a problem. With hindsight, that was a mistake.Īll my data is still where it used to be and my Naim streamers can see and play my music with Minimserver. After checking that Minimserver and Asset uPNP will work on DSM 7, I followed Synology's advice to upgrade to enjoy the benefits of DSM 7. Until this evening, I was a happy user of Asset 6 and various other apps running on a Synology DS218+ under DSM 6.
