QNAP Beta build MC 22
Scobie:
Does anyone have a feel for how memory intensive MC21/22beta is on a QNAP?
I've run both on a TS-453mini with 2Gb (it came with this onboard) and regularly see the app freezing or unloading.
I'm not running any other apps so was wondering if it was sufficiently spec'd for JRiver?
Thanks

I just can tell it's no serious load for my TS 253pro. I only have very rare crashes and only when autoimport is activated.
It runs very stable in the meantime, that's why it's awful to hear it might not be supported anymore and I have to keep my PC switched on again in future.

It shouldn't be an issue for the qnap units that can run a VM. As long as you've got enough memory on board, set up a Linux VM - they run with a low overhead anyway - and you can then install MC. That method should deal with current and future MC versions.

Do you recommend to install another Linux version of MC on a QNAP on top of a virtual machine (which I don't know how to set up on the QNAP)...or is there still any hope you continue to bugfix the current QNAP versions of MC in future?
astromo:
It's not a recommendation.
I'm simply pointing out that there are workable alternatives to consider going forward. I appreciate that the prospect of dealing with another layer of complexity is undesirable but I also think it's useful to know that for people who've invested in QNAP hardware, they aren't necessarily dealing with a dead end.
Not being part of the JRiver dev team, I can't speak for the view of ongoing bug-fixes / support of the QNAP package. Personally, I'd like to see this continue. However, if they take a business view of limiting the menu, then at least I know what I'd do next. Just sharing my thoughts and trying to be constructive.. cheers .. :D
