JRiver as a Package on a Synology NAS
Patatorz:
Hello,
sorry if the post is not in the right section but I supposed it was OK.
I use JRiver MC on my PC with Music located on a Synology NAS. I manage the music through JRemote on a iPad. I do that most of the time because of the capacities of JRiver in terms of music management.
I wonder if it would be possible in the future to install JRiver on a Synology NAS as a package in order to avoid using a PC ? Would a NAS like Synology powerfull enough (perhaps it depends on the references) to manage such package ? Do you see any limitations ?
I think it really depends on the Synology MCU platforms (http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have)
In my case DS1512+, it should be OK as the MCU is not a ARM one and running X86.
Do you think it is something that developpers have in mind ?

I thought about the same, but understood from other threads it will not be so easy to realize. Also it would be a Linux version, which lags behind the functionality of the Win-version. So I think I will go the HTPC/Mini-PC route with LAN access to my NAS to have full functionality available...

Hi Alex,
I was thinking in the easiest and lighest way to do it...I think also in Raspberry but is seems not so easy. With a NAS it would be all in one :-)
Using a PC even light mean a windows licence, HDD, added energy consuming....I would just look for a PC as a server with the minimum inside but not able to find it (small, low consumption,...)
JimH:
We have an embedded version that has no GUI, but it's still rough, and we haven't released it. It works as a server and renderer now and runs on some pretty feeble equipment.
Installation on devices like Synology may be possible in the future, but it's too soon to say when.
Patatorz:
Thanks for the reply. The solution without GUI could be very interesting (like for minimserver competitor). Unfortunatly, I don't have any skills to push it on a Synology...
