Music server software compatibility

Hello. I have a Lenovo EMC px4-300d and I am looking for a software that allows me to use it as a music server without a computer, directly attached to an ethernet capable DAC (PS Audio Direct Stream). I am wondering if this NAS is compatible with either Minimserver or Plex, or if Twonky 8 culd be used as an alternative for this use. In any case, which control SW can i use; Jremote? Many thanks in advance.

Hello ridom
I recommend checking at the PSA forums here. As for the twonky server built into the px4, it is UPnP and DLNA compatible. I can't say for certain which DLNA/UPnP remote would work with the specific application you are going for.
I can advise that the Twonky server's control interface can be accessed by entering the px4 ip in this format, ipaddress:50599 Jremote might be able to controll the twonky server, but I believe the PS Audio Direct Stream would need to support UPnP/DLNA.
Technically other media server applications can aggregate media data from the unit. However there is not an official Minimserver or Plex app that can be natively ran on the px4.
Sorry I do not have more info on this, hope you are able to get it to work, sounds interesting.

Has anyone had difficulty with music server software on the mac mini

Hello all. I'm using my newly purchased mac mini as a music server and for movies integrated into my sound system. I have 2 handmade tube amps hooked up to a CJ tube pre-amp, running a Neko audio DAC mkII via a silflex mini toslink cable made by lifatec, from the optical out jack of the mac. I'm using audirvana plus software, which allows me to play uncompressed music files directly into my external dac bypassing the internal dac of the mac. CDs sound very good, the mac runs very quietly, and the optical connection seems very clean. HD tracks sound exquisite.
Took me a while to figure out how to set the systems preferences, but after a few days of trial and error I finally got it right. The low jitter of the optical out is a reality. Audiophile quality is now easy and cost efficient with the mac mini.

Well, I do understand that.
However, I've installed iMS 5.2 on win2k several times (I admit, w2k pro, not server), and i've never installed AD.
If you can get it installed and working for your default domain, but not for other domains, then most likely it has nothign to do with AD or AD domains. iMS idea of domains is very different from AD's idea of domains. We need to be very clear about such.
for iMS, you have to create additional domains through Delegated Admin, as either "Hosted Domains" or as "Vanity Domains". We do not suggest using "Vanity Domains", and support for such is deprecated.
Once you have created "Hosted Domains" through Delegated Admin, you can add users to those domains, and they should work, just fine.

Device software compatibility with server software

We are currently in a beta mode syncing BlackBerry devices with an Exchange server using BlackBerry Manager 4.1. One of our users wants to upgrage his device software from v4.3 to v4.5. We are trying to determine if that will create any compatibility issues with the server software.
Solved!

hello,
I don't think so, but should tjhat happen, you can downgrade back to 4.3.
I think you will find more detailed answers if you post your question on the "Blackberry Enterprise Solution" board.

Using Apple TV as a multi-room music server

I am trying to decide whether Apple TV is a good choice for use as a multi room wireless music server. I would rather use Apple TV than say Sonos because I like Apple TV's video capabilities. My decision is going to be largely based on Apple TV's/iTunes/Airtunes compatibility with my current 2 zone home theater system.
Right now the AV/wireless system looks like this:
-2 Zone Denon AV receiver wired to wall mounted speakers in the living room and kitchen/patio.
-Airport Extreme wired into cable modem
-Wall mounted speakers upstairs in bedroom (not connected to any amplifier)
Ideally I want to add
-Apple TV wired to Denon receiver/TV w/ hdmi cable
-inexpensive AV receiver/amp in bedroom to power wall mounted speakers
-Airport Express jacked into receiver to stream iTunes library from Apple TV
-Everything controlled with iPhone
Questions:
1. Will this work?
2. Any idea what my best options for an inexpensive Airtunes friendly amp/receiver are?

BorrachoPix, An excellemt thread. Always good to know others doing or intending to set up same similar systems. So many options these days it takes a fair while going through them all. I ruled out Squeezebox as not being user friendly enough and was going the Sonos route untill Apple released the itouch remote app which changed everything and gave me an excuse to get an itouch into the bargin as well !!!!!
Have you though of using a pair of Active speakers instead of Amp and Speakers in the bedroom. Maybe the AudioEngine A2 or A5 Speakers.
Jask, I use to have the 3801 before changing to the 2807. Will probably do as you suggest and go optical and component video to the amp keeping the HDMI slots for SkyHD and the DVD player. I always find the Denon set up menu a bit of a nightmare but usually get there in the end.
Perhaps I should be thinking about an iMac for next year as well to complete the circle......just not sure I can justify the expense.

Music Server on My Mac

I am trying to figure out how best to construct my music server and I have a Leopard question. I know that on a PC, Windows messes with audio files and it is necessary, in order to get bit perfect audio off of the PC, to install a piece of software called ASIO that gets around the Windows manipulation of audio data. My question is, if I were to use my mac with Leopard installed, do I have a similar problem or will Leopard pass perfect audio out via my USB port? Thanks.

I've never heard of Mac OS X altering the audio output for any reason. Some Macs (all the current models) also have a digital optical audio output port. I mention this because it shows Apple is serious about the quality of audio output.

Using iTunes as an audiophile quality music server

I have recently setup up a music server using iTunes on a Wintel PC, connected through a Creative Audigy 2 external sound card to a Yamaha Class A stereo amp and Dynaudio speakers. Using Apple lossless compression, the sound quality of ripped CDs is equal to or better than my Yamaha audio CD player.
Has anyone else used this style of setup and what are your experiences?
The next step is to setup remote (couch-bound) operation by using a wireless keyboard/mouse and attempting to drive iTunes via the big screen TV with the S-Video out on the video card. Has anyone else done this and what were the results?
Speaking of remote operation, the Audigy 2 come supplied with a remote, but it only seems to control the volume. It has a full complement of controls (eg FF, Pause) that I would like to use to operate iTunes. Any ideas?
I have read up on Windows Media Centre and associated hardware. Besides being more focussed on video than music and providing an expensive way to watch TV, the overall costs are prohibitive and according to related web forums, the software seems unstable. Hence I've chosen the iTunes route.
Any and all input appreciated.
By the way, not an iPod in sight: - sacriledge I know. Don't tell Apple.

You didn't have to convert them.
Just select to burn them as an audio CD ad iTunes will convert as needed.

It doesn't.

10.9.x Server software update for 10.10 clients

Hi - We have a 10.9.x Server running Software updates. Simple question...will 10.9.x server download updates for 10.10 clients? I can look at the logs but I am lazy. Thought I would post a question here. Thank you

Hi chwhite97,
If you are running Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) Server for your software update service, it can only provide updates for Mac clients running 10.6 through 10.9. See this article for reference -
OS X Server: Software Update Service compatibility - Apple Support
If you wish to update your server so that it will support Yosemite clients, it would need to first be updated to Yosemite itself, available here -
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-yosemite/id915041082?mt=12
Once this is done you would need to update the server's software, available here -
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-server/id883878097?mt=12
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Sun Ray Software Compatibility

hi,
i want to know about the Sun Ray Compatibility with windows.
is Sun Ray server software is compatible with windows? OR
it needs only linux or Sol for installation? if it needs Linux Or Sol for installation then how can it provide Windows Env on the Desktop?
if someone has some Tech documents on how Sun Ray software works and configured, please inform me.
Regards,
Asghar

Sun Ray Server Software runs only on Solaris and Linux, so you need at least one Solaris or Linux system to control your Sun Ray terminals. After you have that you can run a Windows client program (such as rdesktop, Citrix or Sun's Sun Ray Windows Connector) on the Sun Ray server, connect that program to a Windows machine running Terminal Services and have a Windows desktop presented on the Sun Ray.
Sun Ray documentation for the current (3.1) release is at <http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1230.3>.

Building a music server with g3

Hi- I have an old blue and white powermac g3 which I'd like to turn into a music server. To do that I need a much bigger hard drive (min 250g) and the ability to link into my airport network. Can folks give me some ideas about how to accomplish this at a reasonable price (I'm not a computer geek, but I'm also not afraid to try things). Thanks -Howard

A Mac-specific SATA controller card and SATA drive can be used to boot most PCI-slot Macs. A generic controller will not boot a Mac.
At the moment, SATA is working fast only because the drives with the SATA interface are the latest drives. There is nothing inherently faster about SATA, it is not magic, it is mostly hype.
The transfer rates advertised are the maximum theoretical transfer rates. Since there are no drives that can maintain transfers at those speeds for more than an instant, those numbers will not be seen in daily use. The same fast drives are available with pATA, LVD SCSI, and Fiber-Channel interfaces, too.
As for that software, you would do better posting on one of the iPod or other music forums, or doing a forum search for those names. They do not get tossed around regularly down here in the older Macs sub-basement.

Media Server Software questions... please help

Good morning.
Im not sure if this is the right area to ask this in, but here goes
I have a Mac Mini. I recently purchased an eyeHome and a Philips RC9800i remote control (this works wirelessly and streams pictures, music, etc.).
Each of the products comes with its own server software (Philips uses the Philips Media Manager and eyeHome uses eyeHome software).
My question is, Ive heard about a product called Twonkyvision Media Server. Will installing this allow me to stream my pictures, videos, music to each of these devices or are they reliant on their own software? If I need both pieces of software running, what are any issues that could arise from this?
Thanks for all the help.

You might need to contact the manufacturers regarding this question.
Sorry I couldn't help.
Stu
P.S. It sounds like you have a fun project on your hands.

How do I point a Raspberry Pi music server at my iMac?

I'm trying to use a Raspberry Pi as a network music server. I have one SD card with Volumio and another with Rune. The webUI for both is almost identical.
My music files are on an HDD attached to my iMac and the Pi is on the same network. In the Volumio UI I need to enter the path to the music folder on the HD.
I have selected file share protocol as SMB/CIFS.
I have entered the iMac's IP address
I have entered the Remote Directory as Drobo/Rip where Drobo is the name of the HDD and Rip is the folder on Drobo with the music files.
I cannot get it to mount. Any suggestions?
I can send music to Volumio by AirPlay (wired) with no problem at all, but I can't get Volumio to go fetch the music from the iMac.

Try the > Raspberry Pi Forums.

TV don't work with OSX Server software?

Everything worked great BEFORE I updated our MacMini Intel to OSX Server software, now iTunes can't find the recent found Apple TV. And therefore the connection is gone and the syncing don't work anymore.
Any work-around or suggestions on how to solve this?
Or do I have to revert to previus userversion of OSX to make it work again?
Is there a limitation built into OSX Server software or is there maybe some kind of firewall / preferences etc that needs to be adjusted? (The built in firewall has been disconnected.)
FYI:
All apps are up to date. The Mac Mini + Apple TV is on my local network at home and I'm trying to make it my family's digital hub for all family-related media.

In relation to Wireless Speakers, what does 'Connected Music Server' mean?

Hello All,
Need some advise. I am looking at purchasing a Wireless speaker. I currently have a MacBook Pro 10.8 which has my music stored in iTunes. My phone is an Android 4.2.2 device.
Therefore, I need to buy a wireless speaker that supports AirPlay (aka stream music from my MacBook Pro) and also has an app that I can install on my Android device which can threby access the iTunes playlist so that I can use my phone as the remote control.
Based on the above requirements, I narrowed down my chocie to the Denon Cocoon Home (whose app is also Deno Cocoon) and the Pioneer A4 XW-SMA4-K (whose app is Pioneer ControlApp)
Question 1:
The Denon App says this:
- When connected to your home Wi-Fi network you can further expand your choice of music by using the Music Server to browse and play all the music that is stored on your PC, Mac or Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive.
- DRM protected music is NOT supported by the Denon Cocoon app (or any 3rd party music app)
My question what does one mean by a 'connected music server?' If an AirPlay speaker receives iTunes music, does it automatically become a 'connected music server?' Technically, is music in my iTunes app (some purchased from iTunes store, some imported) considered DRM protected music? Can ithe app read the iTunes music given the above contraint?
Question 2:
The Pioneer App has a lot of complicated lingo that says:
Network Audio Player
- Browse and select music files on your connected music server
AV Receiver
- Browse and select music files on your connected music server
Network CD Receiver System
- Browse and select music files on your connected music server
Wireless Speaker
- Volume up/down
- Select Internet Radio Stations
- PUSH PLAYER
It uses one app for multiple devices and in the app description has a breakdown for what the app supports for every device. Now the 'connected music server' is not mentioned in 'Wireless Speaker' but the same is mentioned in 'Network Audio Player' so what does that mean?
I am more veered towards the Pioneer speaker as it costs $100 less and has better reviews but I will go with the one that will aloow me to use my Android phone as a remote control to access the music that the speaker is streaming from my MacBook pro.

How to configure a Windows machine with any vnc server software for ARD

I need someone to direct me in the right direction to configure and install any vnc server software so that I can control a windows machine with ARD like I control the rest of my macs in the lab. I need some suggestions as to the best and easiest software to configure and the correct settings to get the machine to be able to show in ARD. Thanks

Sort of. I found this article below that helped me to connect to the remote CF server using MXML. It seems that you have to create a regular project in Flex with Aplication Server Type set to None and connect to CF using the endpoint attribute of the RemoteObject MXML tag or via AS.
http://www.aliaspooryorik.com/blog/index.cfm/e/posts.details/post/200
However I found out after getting error using the AS3 code to use the endpoint property that
mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject does not support the "endpoint" property
whereas mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.RemoteObject does. See link below
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg101439.html//www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg101439.html
So I had to change my AS3 code by adding a new channel to my RemoteObject using a code similar to the one on the link below (Note that this code uses PHP, when I instantiate myRemoteObject, I do so informing that the destination is "ColdFusion" [new RemoteObject("ColdFusion")], so no need to set destination as in the code on the link below

I hope that helps you.

Can anyone please advise what I am doing wrong?

Hi LowLuster
Thanks for reply. I am not an expert on these sharing protocols but I think I have turned on SMB sharing but still wont connect. I tried adding netwrik drive by using cntrl K in finder and using smb\\network address but nothing. It is driving me mad!!
