MC22 for QNAP (TS-453b mini 8GB)

(1/4) > >>

Hello

First of all: I know that in the following, it will be noticable that this posting will not only deal with one single problem but i confess that there are several aspects, that are related - but with the intention not to flood the board with several postings, i'll try to give a short and crisp course

1. Last year i bought a MC22 license for windows - used it on my notebook, everything ok

2. This year i bought a QNAP TS-453b mini (8GB RAM) to run MC via HD Station with the intention to get rid off my notebook in this living room context

3. Now i installed MC21 (File: MediaCenter21_21.0.91_x86_64.qpkg - it was the first file i got managed to get) tried it out (especially my special situation, using an external USB high end digital converter) and, really surprisingly for me - it worked! Great, i thought.

4. Now, on the next day, after importing all my music, a "try out phase, or trial phase ... expired message appears, with the suggestion to download a newer version due to the current version woulfd now be outdated - else there was offered a trial extension - didn't work and a license restore (what also didn't work, surely cause i tried a windows MC22 for a (kind a) Linux MC21 license - and i think the problem was more windows->linux and not 22->21)

5. So i unistalled MC21 and now installed MC22 (File: MediaCenter22_22.0.111-5_x86_64) but after start via HD Station again, i encountered the problem, that none of the menu function links e.g. File, Tools etc... was working, on the contrary to the MC21 Version

6. So i again unstalled MC22 to again give MC21 a try, thinking to get the question of licensing managed with JRiver - but after Re-Install of MC21, surprise, now immediately the "Trial expired" message appeared and now i have nothing :-( where i got it managed to get it working..

So, currently i have (at least) tow (2) problems:
I. To get any version of MC (21,22, or if maybe upcoming 23) working on my QNAP
II. Get it licensed for a long-term usage

Can anyone (staff or experienced user) help me?

Hello Jim,

Yes, i studied it systematically to the end, but although it seems that there where some aspects that could meet, finally i found nothing that could help in my case.
So, please, i accept to be called the silliest asumable user, but please give me a step-by-step course how i can solve my problem

JimH:
I'm sorry, but I'm unable.  QNAP support was brief and may not work in the future.  Especially if the hardware changes.

We don't recommend using a NAS drive.  It's just another computer.  The JRiver Id is a simpler solution in many cases.

werdandi70:
hmm it makes me sad to hear that. this was one of the main arguments why i bought an additional qnap. but anyway... please, what du you mean with "the jriver id is a simpler solution in this case..."
does that mean that you see a possibility for at least getting it managed to run MC21?
