AMS troubleshooting

Your Music will NOT import in to the Akurate Music Server

In some situations, the AMS will not import Music from its Library import folders. This is because the NAS is not granting permission for the Akurate Music Server to rename and move these fles.To allow this function to happen you will need to change the security level of the NAS .

To perform this action on the Netgear ReadyNAS, do the following:

• Check that the ReadyNas has the lastest version firmware (Raidiator V4.1.4 23rd Sept 2008)
  
• Go into the ReadyNAS setup webpage
  
• Select the Security –SECURITY MODE  
  
• Within this page change the mode to USER and APPLY
  
• Go in to the Shares
• select your Media folder
• Click on the CIFS (Win/Mac)
• Within this page,
  

          1. in the Advance CIFS permission

                 a) Enable "Automatically set permissions on new files and folders."

                 b) Enable "Do not allow ACL changes to be more restrictive than this"

                 c) keep all rights to Read/Write

          2. enable "Guest Access" within the Share Access Restrictions

• Hit Apply
  
• Go into the "Security" - "User & group accounts" page,
  

1. then via te drop-down box select Preferences
   
2. Within the Prerences select "Private home shares for users:" - DISABLE
   
3. Hit Apply

• Reboot the NAS
  
  

The ReadyNAS is now setup to allow the AMS to do the import work required.
Note: If you have already copied Music in to the /import or /Extlib folders. Delete these files or move them to another location. (The advanced CIFS right only apply on new files , they will not change any existing files in the system.)
This change in the security does not affect the DS playback functionality.

Note:

The AMS 4.1.0 release code will ONLY import FLAC files with Metadata tags.

The AMS will also reject files with long file names and Tracknames. (Typically longer than 64 chars)
