Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Sooloos (32 bit) and QNAP 4.3.3 (64 bit) [Resolved 64 bit released]

I updated today, procedure pretty much as described above, except I updated to 4.3.3 a few weeks ago and left the 32bit Sooloos not running.

All went well, and Sooloos Core (64bit) is running once more on my QNAP.

Control:PC prompted to upgrade, this also went smoothly.

Fantastic, thank you... I'll be attempting it tomorrow, will let you know how I get on.

Upgrade all seems to have gone OK. Not sure how I know that I am now using the 64-bit version of Sooloos as it still just reports as 'System version: 529'; but I guess the fact that it is running ok on QTS 4.3.3.0154 means it must be?

Initially my iPad could no longer find the system core (even after re-installing the app); however rebooting the iPad solved that.

Tim,

Glad it all worked for you.

Looks like I spoke too soon. Sooloos is now very unstable. Both Control:PC and the web browser interface just keep refreshing every 4 or 5 seconds (with the spinning wheel inbetween each refresh). It happens so quickly you don't get a chance to click on anything.

I've tried rebooting the QNAP but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Tim,

Sorry to hear this. It's odd, and from the various threads on this topic doesn't see to be a persistent problem for anyone else (yet).

My system has bee absolutely stable and has been playing music for about 10 hours a day since I updated 5 days ago.

I've been selecting music from my library and from Tidal using:
an iPhone 6s
two different models of iPad
two windows 10 PCs (one wired to the switch and one wireless), and I've used (tested) the system with Control:PC and Touch PC on each machine. All rock solid (so far).

Have you tried shutting everything down including the modem, the router, any switch, the iOS device(s), computers and QNAP server? Leave it all off for thirty seconds or so, and bring back up, stating with the modem and then the router.

When you shut down the QNAP, do at the switch on the back, don't just disconnect the power. let shut down fully.

I think most of us have found at one time or another that a whole system reboot solved an inexplicable gremlin (with DCHP conflict origins).

Yep, tried rebooting everything, including all network components. Even tried clearing DNS and ARP caches (not that they're likely to cause the issue). All to no effect...

Tim,
You've reached point at which I'd be turning to the President of the Imperial Galactic Government (Carl) and his council. Or if you're feeling optimistic, Mother.

You've lost me there?

Sorry Tim.

I merely meant that I'm out of ideas. Carl and a few others like Ratbert are much more experienced with Meridian Streaming than I, and are who I would appeal to for help. Mother is Meridian.

Carl enjoys the exalted and deserved title on the blog of "President of the Imperial Galactic Government." You and I are merely "Mostly Harmless."

I'll avoid Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy references in future. Apologies.

What is the latest consensus- is it safe to update to the latest QNAP firmware?

I am running 4.2.0 on a TS-251 with core and store for Sooloos with no problems and want to update but will only do it if most people are not having issues.

Tim, did you get your system problems resolved?

If you go to 4.3.3 you will need to reinstall the Sooloos Core using the 64-bit option. M's website has the instructions.

Mine seems to work OK.
