Hi! Yet another Unitiserve Interface thread, I’m afraid.
I have browsed this forum and others to see if there is a way to access the US via the flash interphase, with no luck so far.
I got to where I installed Chrome plugins and could see the Naim logo when accessing the US, but I never got any further than that.
My purpose for accessing the US is to play downloaded music. My US is non-SSD and I can upload to the connected NAS just fine. As far as I understand I should upload music to a ‘Downloads’ folder, but I can’t find one on the NAS.
I can connect to the Unitiserve via the Naim Desktop Client, but I can’t find a ‘Downloads’ folder here.
The way I thought I could solve this was to establish a new music store on the US, and wanted to use the flash interface for this. Can a music store be established via the desktop client? I couldn’t find out how.
Is there a plugin flash player or standalone version that works for windows? Or is this route dead now?
I have temporarily resorted to using a usb stick in the back of the US, but the usb drive will have to be scanned for each start-up. Not optimal if I have to edit metadata or album cover pictures.
What is a known workaround? Buy a network streamer, connect it to the NAS, and only use the Unitiserve when ripping? Or go for a Uniticore?
Are you sure you mean non-SSD? The SSD version requires you to store music on a separate NAS, whereas the non-SSD version stores music on it’s internal HDD by default.
I don’t think the adobe site has it anymore, but I might have found something in a web archive that can be used. I’ll get in front of my computer tomorrow and give it a go, I’ll post the result here.
OK, so it’s a Unitiserve SSD.
For downloads you want a ‘network share’, not a ‘music store’ which is for CD rips.
If a folder on any network attached device is named ‘music’ the US should find it automatically and scan it’s contents, so you may be able to manage this even if you can’t get into the browser interface.
So I accessed my NAS (Synology Diskstation DS214 Play), opened Control Panel, and renamed a folder called ‘Test 3’ to ‘Music’. I also enabled indexing for this share.
The share has status offline, and is labeled active. I try to run a host scan, the shares change status from offline to hostscan, then go back to offline. No new music via n-serve.
I then look at a naim forum 2021 thread dealing with this issue. It says I need to install a media server package on the nas. According to the thread, this is supposed to establish the music folder on the nas. I install the package, it scans the share with music I direct it to ‘Music’ and finds the music. But I can’t find a new share on the file station.
I had the Unitserve some years ago. Was using Windows 7. Sometimes i could find the music share sometimes not. I gave up.
Maybe @davidhendon could help.
