Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Meridian Shelving Plans for having Sooloos Core run on QNAP NAS devices???

I heard a comment from a PP recently that Meridian plan to shelve their plans to allow the Sooloos Core to be run on a QNAP NAS as they are concerned about 'Support' issues.

Can anyone confirm or otherwise... or has anyone else heard the opposite?

Hi Ronnie

Didn't hear they were shelving it, more that they were backtracking which may be the same thing, I wonder if the reported support issues are from Meridian or the PP's unwilling to support QNAP, Roon etc?

It's interesting that Touch:PC will apparently be out soon, I wonder who will support that, is it a Windows issue, graphics issue, Touch:PC issue? PP's I guess.

Oh well.

Finding out that Meridian might be abandoning the Sooloos Core on QNAP devices on the same day I purchase a QNAP device and a pair of large drives is not making me too happy.

It would be nice to get an actual statement from Meridian as to what their plans are - although after the last statement from M mentioning QNAP core - I am not sure how much faith to attach to it if they are changing their minds.

'The Core and Storage plug-in will be released soon, also free-of-charge.'

If this is just a rumour, it is a fairly damaging rumour - the phrase 'Headless Chickens' springs to mind.

Matt.

It says, "Go Roon", to me.

Of course, Roon needs a NAS of some sort, and is not plug n play.

+1, I have.

Something is in the works ... All I can say... ref. NDA
More info from Meridian dealers this summer.

Most folks have an iPad or existing mobile devices (Android / iOS) and Win laptops.

I would not care about that (Sooloos app on NAS) as a selling point IMHO of course . Just added 12TB to my Synology 1813+

Hello,

Just to clarify, we have not shelved any of our plans mentioned in John's earlier post Meridian Sooloos Update

Quite the opposite in fact, but we're not going to go there for now!

As John said before, Thanks and regards,
Des

Des,

Thank you for this. Last thing we all need are too many unfounded rumours cluttering our thinking.

Agreed. Begs the question why a PP is communicating information which conflicts with M publicly posted roadmap for Sooloos (the latter, of course, which is greatly appreciated).

Remember you can't have the tail wag the dog, even if it thinks it can. It happens.... Chris

I think it's more serious than that Chris. If I was feeling uncharitable, I might think that various PP are telling porkies in an attempt to prevent a decline in C15, MD600, and MCx00 Sooloos core sales.
