... but my DLNA playlists have been easy to manage using the Synology UI, and the Moment has had no issues with them.

My local collection is not huge. 300 albums so roughly 3000 tracks. About 25 local DLNA playlists.

Hi Sandyb,

it really seems to be a issue with larger local collections. Carolpa had no issues with his 20 000. B&O is aware of these issues - but failis to provide a proper recommendation/ a decent manual or their specific test-setup. They just said they test with 40 000.

Could you please answer some questions of mine?

1. Which app do you use to create the playlists on the Synology? AudioStation?  

2. How is the order of the playlist-tracks (artists, track01, track02... or scrambled) on the BS-Moment?

3. Is your Synology going into hibernation sometimes (volumes/device). How do you prevent any hibernation?

4. Is there a time lag until your content is accessible?

5. How is your Synology conected to your network?

6. Which device do you use?

7. Does is support Link Aggregation? Do you use Link Aggregation?

8. Have you installed the latest DSM (DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 1)?

I am asking, because I had to use Twonky, minimServer, Synology to test the betas - but I faced the same troubles with all said Servers. I am to tired to change the setup again and use the device currently as a Deezer-only-Device. In previous DSM-versions the playlist were limited to a small amount of tracks and the were completely mixed-up in their order. Maybe it is now different and I could give it a try again

Beroli - Are you on 2.2? If yes, don't expect miracles

I'll do my best to answer

1. I use the Music Station app on the NAS (apologies its a QNAP not a Synology, was going mad for a moment)

2. i don't really have any issues with the ordering. They appear in the right order, though i think the track number of the parent album appears.

3.. I don't believe my NAS goes into hibernation - didn't do anything from the out of the box set up, so can't be sure.

4. NAS is connected to my router via ethernet cable.

5. I use a QNAP 251

Sorry, my Synology mistake may mean your questions are no longer relevant, my bad.

Apologies.

Thank you for your detailed reply. Actually my library consists of around 18K FLAC / lossless files ( discographies ) 

My dealer refused to go connect the Moment through Wifi. He said it's not as stable as the LAN so I am preparing for an internal network using gigabit switch..

I'm planning to wall-mount the moment. Does anybody know the optimum height for this ? I find the stand a bit low since I'm 6' and my wife is 5'10.

Configuration ( Avant 55 + beosound moment + BL20s ) 

Your welcome 😁

Regarding the ethernet-connection - your dealer is right. The Moment is much snappier, if you connect the device over ethernet. With flac-files it is almost mandatory.

Regarding the wall-mount. I had the wall-mount. It is easy to access while walking by. I would recommend that you take your wife's height as standard. You know WAF? Just let her point with her fingers to the wall while stand in front of the wall with her ellbows bent to 90 degrees. At this height the BS-Moment will be used from your wife too. I have sold the wall mount, and put it on a small B&O shelf, since I wanted to see the recent song while sitting  on a couch.

@ mbolo

😎 I don't.

@ SandyB

Never mind, that happens. Thank you for answering. You just triggered my nosiness, by stating the Synology. That's why the flood of questions. The QNAP-Server is the better choice, since you can install Twonky on it. Still, the Moment works best with Twonky.

Cheers Beroli

Sorry Beroli, but you just made another assumption by saying I cannot compare your setup with mine? Do you know if I tested Twonky before? Do you know my experience with Twonky? Do you know I have experience with other DLNA servers? Do you know why I choose Minimserver? You simply do not know!

The strength of this forum is to listen to each other, exchange experience, etc..... to find the reasons why someone has a problem whereas others do not! Sorry, but your answer shows an attitude!

regards

Dear Carolpa,

I never wanted to hurt your feelings. I am aware, that you are a well-red and a very well-informed user of the Moment, since you are participating in this forum for a very long time. I always enjoyed your posts and input. I just stated in the previous post your recent setup - you wrote about it some days before. I know, that you’ve tested Twonky before and that you are indeed very experienced. The reasons for choosing minimserver are obvious to me, since this software is well programmed, stable and not as demanding as Twonky. Nowadays you are on minimserver and therefore it is a fact, that you can not use the expert mode with it, if you want to add artist-titles. Your collection is recently smaller than mine. Therefore you can not compare your recent setup with mine. I included your findings, answered exactly to your questions (what I did and why) and explained the current behaviour with the latest beta on my BS-Moment. I explained, that the device is working properly until the second harvest kicks in. Do you have any suggestions to that?

I do appreciate this forum and the help from eachother.

You criticize my attitude, while asuming, that my tags are wrong, covers to big, my playlists-false created or that my setup is wrong at the same time - not knowing how much efforts I put in this device since the roll-out. If you mean my attitude regarding “Know that, done that, been there, does not work for my settings“ then maybe you should teach me how to answer in a more politely way. Again I appreciate you and your input and I think we are very much alike 😁

Cheers Beroli

It makes no different what size the libary has. I have a small collection +/-86 albums, +/- 1200 tracks, no playlists, same problem here...

I just add the cover arts to another folder, remove the old covers, add the covers etc....

First day it seems good, but the moment is restart harvesting, problems come back again, it's showing some deezer arts on different albums...

ID tags everything i have checked serveral times, all good
