Hi, First posting and maybe my query is similar to another re: QNAP119P where Asset freezes but in case not:
Set-up:
QNAP 419P11 NAS with 4x Seagate 2TB ST2000VN000 drives - Raid 6
Windows 7 PC
approx.35-40% of HDDs utilised: music FLAC + data backups, etc.
Servers:
QNAP's own (disabled - it's useless)
Twonky: good but slow
Logitech Media Server: good, but limited in access re: artists
MinimServer: very good but it needs modifications to gain better library access
AssetUPnP (PC version): very good but being PC based it has limitations and I haven't found a way to disable the (very annoying) treatment of "The"
AssetUPnP (NAS): easily the best for me ... but ...
AssetUPnP uses up almost all of the RAM and at times the music just stops. I have to wait 5 - 20 mins (I hear the NAS churning away) and then it will be accessible again. This happens mostly (always?) when I'm modifying music tags - and maybe when just importing new music. I have learned from trial and error (experience) that if I start amending tags (I use Tag&Rename) I will see the RAM usage on the QNAP Process page shoot up to 85% plus (orange) and when it goes red the music is likely to stop.
And whilst I can re-start music play after a short period of time, the only way to clear this high usage of RAM is to re-boot the NAS.
But I've recently found that if I disable the AssetUPnP app on the NAS the problem disappears. Only, that means I don't have this - favourite - server.
I don't think the RAM is expandable on this model QNAP.
Cheers, thanks for reading,
Mitch
