Just installed NAS, MC doesn't work properly

According to QNAP tech support, their hardware uses SMB for file access.
Thanks to all for trying to help me with this.
Curiosity question: do Windows users report similar difficulties? I ask because my Mac is pretty old, and suffering from Sneaky Apple Slow-down Syndrome. I might replace it and if I do, I'll get a PC rather than an Apple. If this isn't a problem Windows has, that would be one more reason to replace my media computer.

Ok, on your auto-import settings for each folder would you check to see if "analyze audio" is enabled and disable it for each if so.
See if the behavior is different. Thanks.

I tried importing my media folders separately, rather than performing an Auto Import. So far, so good, though I haven't looked though each part of my library to see if I agree the various imports were successful.
Cover Art
Lectures (audio files)
Movies (video files, sidecars, .jpg, appx 5000 total files)
Shows (video files, sidecars, .jpg, appx 6000 total files, I think), this "manual" import added 2961 files to the MC Library
Music (audio files, .jpg, appx 30000 total files), this "manual" import is running right now, but only 4100 or so files are being added to my MC Library, so hopefully my previous import attempts were partially successful.
I forgot to check my Auto Import settings before I started these manual imports, I'll check that in a couple of minutes...
macdonjh:
Analyze Audio On Import is not activated.
Importing from my Music folder failed again. I got a pop-up window stating MC had closed suddenly.
Also, I checked my Library, the Movies seem to be fine. My TV Shows; however, are all goofed up. It looks like they may all have imported, but they are all in a single "folder" in my main view. It looks like the "divisions" between the shows didn't import for some reason. In the View I have:
All Series (233)
A list of all the individual episodes in the library (which should be significantly more than 233, I have 300 Looney Tunes cartoons alone)
If I look in the All Series "folder", my Shows appear to be grouped into their proper subdivisions: [Series]/[Episode].

And this was new today: I got a second pop-up telling me Terminal wanted to take control of something (no details provided). I opened System Preferences and changed my security setting to allow Terminal to make changes.
MC had "quit suddenly" again prior to that pop-up. It seems like something is wonky with my connection between my Mac and the NAS. I did check last night and the NAS IP address (set via DHCP, I haven't had any luck getting it to work properly with a static IP address) had changed. I wonder if that's a problem? Or should the router notify my Mac when the NAS IP address changes automatically?
