Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Importing to Sooloos

Hello,

Many thanks for the responses. Here, hopefully, are answers to questions

1. I have purchased a 218 and being exceedingly busy, did not know of any ability to run Roon which would be an additional and ongoing cost.

2. I am using a QNAP TS251+ drive, to run Sooloos and have lately succeeded in importing content. The QNAP is not only for storage. Imports have been successful using dBpoweramp to a PC folder followed by copying into the QNAP drive. A good way of describing the setup is that I follow the Meridian video. This is linked from the downloadable Meridian Sooloos Control:Web/Mac/PC User Guide.

3. I have the Sooloos 2.527 app installed using the Sooloos_QNAP_QTS_4.3.x.qpkg package also installed as specified by Meridian in their instructional video.

4. When I previously imported music into the QNAP drive I was advised to roll back the QNAP OS to version 4.2.3 build 20170213. Currently the QNAP is running 4.3.3.0396. I can of course repeat the roll back but thought that with over a year elapsed there would have been more version changes supporting firmware/software integration. This forum has to be a good way of building on others' experiences.

5. The import CD button in ControlPC causes the DVD/CD drive to run for about 4 minutes and then it stops. No material is imported, there is no dialogue box and there is no request to specify a destination folder. If I try to import a folder containing downloaded high res material, with no use of dBpoweramp, there is no response.

6. I now have been successful in importing files and cover art (no folder) using dBpoweramp. Hence I am making progress but would like most of all to know that I have the correct firmware versions for QNAP and Sooloos.

Hope I have answered the questions adequately.

Many thanks again,

Geoff
