I've got the Qnap pkg/app loaded on my NAS, so I've not tried running MC on the VM. That said, given that the qpkg is stuck at MC22, I reckon I'll load MC23 onto the VM. I've used Ubuntu there. So, we'll see how that goes.

Quick update. I've loaded Linux MC23 x64 Build 21 onto an Ubuntu 17.04 zesty VM (spec'd to use 4GB - I've got 16GB loaded onto a Qnap 653 Pro). Initial test of pulling audio from the NAS as server to a client instance of MC23 Windows indicates that systems are go. Benchmark returns the lowly score of 746, so video might be "fun". I don't have the qpkg JRMark to hand to compare.

I'll see how this goes but there's some initial proof of concept for those interested.

EDIT:
The MC22 latest build JRMark came in at 1198 for me. So, that would appear to offer a better response.

No worry for me anyway as I'd typically only use MC on the NAS to serve audio. Round the home, my central install of MC uses samba (treating the NAS as a network drive) to pull video in. Works fine.

Nice one, be interested to see how it goes. I've got the MC22 package running so will benchmark that if I can for a comparison.

Be keen to see if lossless Audio , flac in particular, works reliably.

Will do.

I've installed the latest build of Debian on my QNAP TS-453mini. I've given the VM 2Gb and the QNAP has 8GB on board.

Apart from moaning about video acceleration - I think that is standard for a virtual Linux host - all went well. Also a tip for anyone trying this, don't go with the default install as it will select the wrong build location; use the "expert" mode and select the full kernel. if you don't you get the dreaded "Booting from Hard disk..." hang on startup.

On this I have installed MC23 for Linux. Only performed some high level testing so far (time constraints, down the pecking order for the TV etc...) but so far the signs are positive. DLNA streaming to my CXR120 (lossless audio) and Sony Blu-Ray (video) appear to be working fine. The real test will be when i load it up a little and make it work a bit harder. But so far so good.
