I was debating creating a new topic but this is probably small. I can't actually get MM5 to load my database right now to test anything. It says it's not available so I should create a new one. It's located on my NAS as I mentioned and I have the mediamonkey.ini file modified to add "DBName=\\D...

Right, but won't that potentially copy all the files from MMA back to MM5 since the source files are mostly FLAC and they have been transcoded to MP3 on the phone? Since MM5 doesn't seem to have the device anymore, I'm assuming it won't know that one track is the same as another when it's a differen...

I have recently migrated my media files from a Windows based file server to a Synology NAS. The current setup places the MMW database file on the root of my media files and I use my laptop to maintain/modify the database via a MM5 installation. With my old setup, I was running MM4 for years without ...

I added the required directories to make the path valid and tried again. This time I am able to connect to MMS from my laptop and am greeted with a login. After changing the location for the music I am now able to see my collection. I did notice that some files will play and others throw an exceptio...

I tested MMS on my Windows 10 laptop a couple months back. At that time, I was able to run the server, log in, and access the files on a different system. I finally got some time to install based on the instructions for my Synology DiskStation. On extraction, when I run the server via "./mms&qu...

That sounds amazing! Ill definitely give the alpha/beta a try. If it works ill probably get the RAID setup and cross my fingers development progresses!

Understood. Is the goal that it would eventually have features like wifi sync to MMA? The server would just need network access (which it obviously would have) and the MMA device would need to connect to that network via wifi (which would be standard). I can use other methods now. Just wondering if ...

Ok great!sounds like it might be good to test capabilities before investing in hardware. Is there a list of what it can do, what's planed, what's requested? Ill check out that link to see if any of those are answered.

I ran my last RAID on windows but there are many compact units that run a HW RAID with linux kernels. The one I'm looking at has the system exposed so it would be possible to install things including docker on it. The main issue is i dont see any links to a guide or even info on the capabilities or ...

I had some tgings come up so this slipped in priority. Im still looking to get this server but im not sure where the info on how to compile/install linux is located. I originally thought the only option would be wine+MMW but if there's a cleaner way I'd rather do that. That said, i do need to be abl...

Good suggestions. I started with a 3 drive 750GB RAID5 around 15 years ago. I didn't use NAS certified drives (probably a mistake). I've replaced several drives and expanded to 4 at some point. I agree about rebuild and questions of redundancy. My thought was if I get this one to use RAID6 or RAID5+...

Haven't moved forward yet, but its a pretty fair price. $700 for both including 20TB of drives. Wanted to confirm it would work before I jumped.

The unit is a Synology DS1511+ and expansion DX513. According to the info I've found it does support Docker but not sure if that's all that's needed. I'm aware that this is in alpha still so don't expect it to be super simple yet. As long as the dev team is still intent on making it at least beta if...

I've been looking to replace my Windows based RAID5 file server for years but one of the requirements has been it must be able to act as a MM server. I haven't paid attention for a few months and now see that MM Server is a thing! I've started reading the various posts, but is there a document that ...

I was able to use the report to generate a list. It will take some time to get my files back. When I have the extract complete, I'll need to link them back to the MM database. Is there a guide for that? I doubt they will have exact stats so I don't think dropping them in the right location will cove...
