AssetNas trouble

[Giorgio]

Hello to everybody !!!!

I just bought the Assetnas, it's a very nice and silent machine and I like it, but now I have a problem to solve.

I copied all my music into the Assetnas Home Server but the PlugPlayer cannot see my foder and my tracks, I mean it is all empty.
The only way to see the music that is on the Assetnas, it is using the AssetUPnP but I don't like this sistem, because I'm obligated to switched on the computer every time I want to listen the music (!?!?)

I really hope you can help me to enjoy this new machine.

Thank youuuuu :D

Re: AssetNas trouble

You have copied the music to the music network share?

[Giorgio]

Re: AssetNas trouble

Well, under Network there are 2 folders:
ASSETNAS and PC.
I clicked on Assetnas and 5 other folders appeared, I clicked on Music folder and copied there all my music.

Re: AssetNas trouble

You have installed the Windows Home Server software onto your PC so you can open the dashboard to the AssetNAS? once there you can look at the Asset tab to see its status.

Re: AssetNas trouble

I don't thing that when I bought my computer has this license included (or maybe I lost).

Is it something that usually you have to purchase later ? And if yes which version do I have to buy ?

Thank you for the Help

Re: AssetNas trouble

Maybe I wasn't enought clear, mine is a pc running Windows 7.

Re: AssetNas trouble

The software comes with Windows Home Server, you should be able to install it by typing name of the nas into internet explorer.

Re: AssetNas trouble

Sorry do you mean that my pc with Windows 7 has also the Windows Home Server in the box ?
I spent a lot of money (1 akurate 1 Majic 1 Sekrit 1AssetNas) and I cannot ear without the pc switched on ..... Ehmm I really would like to solve this problem.

Re: AssetNas trouble

Ok I got it, now I have the dashboard installed on the AssetNAS.

I click on Server Folders and there are 6 folders:

D:\ServerFolders\Client Computer Backups
D:\ServerFolders\Documents
D:\ServerFolders\Music
D:\ServerFolders\Pictures
D:\ServerFolders\Recorded TV
D:\ServerFolders\Videos

Inside the Music folder there are my Folders with tracks, but once I go on the Kinsky to look on the Library and open the Music folder and than in All Music folder, nothing is inside .... why ?

Re: AssetNas trouble

There should be a Tab on the dashboard labeled 'Asset' is there?

[Giorgio]

Re: AssetNas trouble

There is tab Asset Upnp but not only Asset tab

Re: AssetNas trouble

I would perhaps ask the dealer who sold you this unit, to visit and help you set it up.

Re: AssetNas trouble

Sound difficult because I bought this Assetnas online in Uk, and I live in Italy ....
Maybe the Tab AssetUpnp that now is pointing the disc D that is situated inside the Pc I should change it and point the Assetnas disc ?

Re: AssetNas trouble

For the Asset Tab inside the dashboard, select 'Advanced Configuration'

In the top left the library section needs to contain: D:\ServerFolders\Music

(which is the folder on the NAS)
