I jumped on the JRiver bandwagon with version 11 playing music stored on my WD MyCloud into a Win10 laptop and out to my hifi through USB. While I continue to use this setup in my summer residence,, I have moved to a new home which needs a new music and video setup using JRiver. My Western Digital has nuts the bed so I need a new NAS. Synology seems to get great reviews and supposedly has great apps, though I am not planning to use their media apps. I am new to video streaming and want use JRiver to push content to my TCL Roku equipped TV. Is this possible? If so, how?
The DS220j is affordable enough but only sports 512 of RAM. Will this present a problem?
I am not much of a computer person so maybe there is a better storage system out there to consider. Thoughts on that? I have a 600gb music library and looking to build video to about the same size.
Secondly, my house is 100% concrete so I am playing audio files through a Denon HEOS system with 2 zones. The HEOS software sucks and I have not had much success pushing my playlists etc. to HEOS, but Denon just updated their software and I am getting ready to update to JR 28 so hopefully they will play better together. Anybody have experience with pushing JR music to HEOS to make this work?
Any other considerations I should be thinking about? Feel free to chime in. I first got into music spinning 45s so this network computer stuff isn't my Forte so please be gentle.
Cheers,
Joe
