Hello guys

When i was setting up the NAS, i hadnt selected any of the addons so it try to install them now. Everything installs correctly except SqueezeServer. I am using the files in the FTP link under resources.

At first i browse and select it and after a while it tells me to go to logitech web site and download latest version and place it under the root. I went and found a tar file, extracted it but i dont know how to install it.

Any ideas?

Can you access the Squeezeserver by http://<nas-ip-address>:9000

[georgechr]

There is nothing installed.

Anyway i will re-setup the disks and install it at the beginning.

I'm getting no where with this and no one seems to have an idea regarding this.

[georgechr]

here is something i found that you may want to give it a shot

Since I have a few Squeezeboxes, which are currently supported by SqueezeCenter running on an old QNAP TS-109 Pro, I gave the DNS-325's implementation a shot. The install was confusing. Installing the file downloaded from D-Link initially shows you a message instructing you to download a file from Logitech and place it in the Volume_1 folder. But when you do that, nothing happens. I finally decided to try loading the D-Link file again with the downloaded Logitech file in place, which finally gave me an working server.

The fun wasn't over yet, though. When the SqueezeCenter server launched its setup wizard, I had to poke around the Linux file system it showed to find the public folder where I had copied my test music (Tip: look under /mnt/HD/HD_a2/). Once I did that I let it scan the couple of test folders and I was ready to play.

But when I tried to play the files, my player responded with a "can't play file". Long story short, it appears that the old 7.3.2 version of SqueezeCenter that you must use, doesn't support playing non copy-protected .m4a files (purchased from iTunes) that were among my test files. .mp3 files, though, played fine.

I tried to install the latest 7.5.4 Squeezebox Server by using the same method as above and renaming the downloaded Perl Source code version from squeezeboxserver-7.5.4.tgz to squeezecenter-7.5.4.tgz. But no joy. So until D-Link makes a more current SqueezeCenter version available, you better plan on playing only AIFF, FLAC, MP3, OGG, WAV or WMV files.

tried and dont work.

[milkyjoe]

its installed
create a folder called squeezeboxserver-7.x.x (depending on version)on volume_1 and extract the file into it.

ive put my squeeze box up for sale tonight. the dns-325 is a bag of s***(if it wasn't for the fact i had 4tb on it i would be smashing it now). i cant even explain the upgrade downgrade s*** i've had to put up with tonight. just sell your dns and sell your sbox
all i will say is never buy dlink ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever again.

dns-325 is fine.

the addons may be buggy, but the actual NAS for me its awesome. it does the work i want.

And since its relatively new, i can seriously see a lot of improvements in the near future.

Copy the .tar file to Volume__1.  Install the add-on.  Took about 5 min. for me to have SBS running.  Only thing is some plugins may not work due to differences in the file system from standard Linux.
