bob:
I don't know how they filter the release of MC but in general it requires a X86_64 architecture and a couple of gigs of ram.

--- Quote from: petacat on May 13, 2016, 01:16:08 am ---I bought a QNAP NAS to replace a Synology one so that I could run the MC Server without requiring a PC to be running and hoping to remove one link in the communication chain.

Alright. I have read the instructions and they are clear. Use HD Station to install a package called Media Centre 21. Only problem is that my new QNAP NAS has no such thing. It has version 4.2.1 of the operating software and is a model TS-563. A search of the QNAP site for Hybrid Diskstation finds several articles including the guide to installing MC 21. Each starts with "use HD Station to ..."

All quite confusing and succeeds only in becoming a circular argument.

Does anyone understand what this is all about? Is there some compatibility issue or requirement that I need to know about?

Circular? I'd say the path that you're sent on is a bit of a dead end.

When I check the relevant page relating to apps for your model, I get this:
https://www.qnap.com/i/en/app_center/index.php?type=5&II=194&for_qts4=&hf=
and MC is listed. So, that tells me you're good to go with the model you've got.

Clicking on the MC icon gives the attached pic. Refer the red box.

When I click on the tutorial, I'm sent to:
http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Main_Page
Entering the string "qnap" in the Wiki search box yields slim pickings. So, I get your confusion.

What the tutorial link should send you to is this:
https://www.qnap.com/i/en/tutorial/con_show.php?op=showone&cid=196
which is where I was expecting to be sent to, so I'm guessing the link was redirected at some stage or my memory is failing me.

Regardless, I'd recommend 2 things:
1. The qnap link should be fixed so that it points the user to a sensible location for helpful info, i.e. the qnap link.
2. The Interact Wiki include a reference to the qnap link - which would provide more circle and less argument.

bob:
When I look at this, the tutorial link downloads a PDF describing the process of setting up MC.
The Wikipedia link goes to the MC wiki page for general purpose information.

The link you posted astronomo looks like an HTML version of the PDF that's linked above by the tutorial link.

I have a QNAP TS-453A. It is connected to a Yamaha RX-V673 receiver through HDMI.
I have installed JRiver in HD station and set
Audio device hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 [ALSA]
Sample rate: no change for all input
Channels: Source number of channels
Bitstreaming: YES (HDMI)

If I am playing a bluray with TruHD of DTS-HD MA track, sampling rate and surround are OK, audio path says direct, no changes are being made. However my receiver indicates that the format is PCM, while if I use JRiver on a windows machine, it indicates TruHD or DTS-HD MA.
What could be the problem? Thanks.

any plans for MC22 and QNAP?
