Volumio on SHD too sluggish to use! Solved 4 years 2 months ago #42851

dem626 Topic Author Offline New Member Posts: 14 Thank you received: 2	My library is 22k tracks. I have tried using it directly from my Qnap NAS (nfs and cifs), with Twonky and Mimimserver DLNA. Also copied to USB drive and connected directly to SHD. Nothing has been remotely acceptable. It is ridiculously slow. I've seen posts about large libraries but none have helped. Does anyone have any ideas on resolving this?

I have used it for my music for a few years, mainly with LMS and it has always been responsive. I have not tried unmounting the nas when using minimserver because I didnt want it to rescan if I reconnect. I will try that though. I dont use anything to control minimserver, just volumio under media servers.

Not a solution, but an alternative might be to run LMS/squeezeserver on your QNAP and then use the squeezelite on your SHD. I am doing that but with homemade linux storage machine. LMS is pretty good with large libraries, e.g., >200K.

( A way to install and uses LogitechMediaServer, on Qnap Nas-systems with QTS 4.0 or higher and 86/i*86/X86_64/arm5te/armhf/aarch64/arm_64 architecture ! )

Interesting development... when I removed the nas mount and the USB drive, minimserver started working much faster. Actually pretty good! It's like the index volumio built was somehow interfering with minimserver!

john.reekie Offline Platinum Member Posts: 3778 Thank you received: 1594	Hm. Well that's good! You could also try using an external client e.g. Linn Kazoo (www.linn.co.uk/software) instead of the Volumio UI. The following user(s) said Thank You: dem626
