Not necessarily MC, but related for sure. I'm having quite the odd problem with my ReadyNAS since I updated to V4.0. That problem is, when I'm streaming music off the NAS via the library server, after a short time (<1-2 hrs usually) the NAS will lockup hard, requiring a hard power cycle.
Now, I've reported the issue to Infrant and they're looking at it, but what causes me to post here is that the details are quite odd.
First, the NAS will only lock when I'm streaming music with MC. I can copy files, run IOmeter, play videos, all of the above for hours and hours and the NAS is fine, but start streaming via the library server and the NAS will lock without fail.
Second, it seems it will only lock when using the library server with transcoding enabled. My entire library is WMAL and FLAC files so I transcode them on the fly to listen at work. Listening under such a circumstance will kill the NAS in the above time frame. When at home I use the library server, but without transcoding and it will run fine, again, for hours. However if I turn on transcoding at home, again, dead NAS in a short time.
The main reason I'm posting this here is because I'm curious/hopeful that the community and/or J River can provide some insight into what might be different about how MC library server accesses files when in transcode mode vs when not in transcode mode.
Further info, the files are on a CIFS/SMB share on the NAS and the library references them via UNC path.
Thanks
