UPnP Media servers

UPnP media servers manage and present, or serve, the music onto the network for the Linn DS to play. Most NAS devices come with a UPnP media server preinstalled. If you are using a UPnP media server that is not listed here, check that it can support FLAC audio files, (some UPnP/DNLA Media Servers will only support MP3 style files)

We advise that your DHCP server reserves the NAS/UPnP Media Server address. This is to ensure that the IP address is secure with use with some UPnP control devices. (Pronto, Crestron etc)

Linn Kazoo Server

This can be installed on:
  • Windows PC (2000, XP, Vista, Win7/8/10),
  • MAC OSX and
  • QNAP

Asset UPnP

Asset UPnP can be used on:

Windows Home Servers (WHS),
Windows PC (2000, XP, Vista, Win7/8/10),
MAC OSX,
QNAP,
Linux and
Raspberry-Pi

The Music tree can be edited within this application

1. Once installed open “Asset UPnP Configuration” (All Programs)

2. Press “Edit” button.

3. In the Audio Library section click “Add Folder” Then Browse to your music library.

4. You may want to add “Folders & Filename Browsing” to the “Browse Tree” Add New Container

6. Click OK - Refresh All then OK again

TwonkyMedia

Twonky can be used on:

Windows PC,
MAC OSX,
Linux PC’s and some NAS devices.

Note: TwonkyMedia is not supported by QNAP on QNAP firmware QTS4.3 and later. You need to buy a licence and update from Twonky Downloads V8.4 (QNAPx86_64)

TWONKY ISSUES

Twonky Media music greyed out or will not play

If you are looking at the Music and the Music cannot be added to the Playlist or is grayed out. But you may if you go to a PC/Mac and this does allow the same Music (or vice-versa) you will probably also using Twonkymedia.
The solution is to go in the Twonky Settings > Advanced > Media receivers and RESET LIST. Now retry the iPad Kazoo and it will probably now work.

Twonky4. Twonky5 and Twonky6

The Music tree can only be easily edited in Twonky4. Twonky5 and Twonky6 require XML file editing.

1. Once opened, select the Spanner icon, this will open the Twonky configuration

2. Click on “first steps” – change to “Advanced default navigation” Save changes.

3. Click on “Sharing” , in the Content locations section, select the “Browse” button to select your Music location

4. Change “Rescan in minutes” to 0. This means that a manual scan has to be promoted when any media is added. (This can normally be initiated by a desktop shortcut with “http://<Your_NAS_IP>:9000/rpc/rescan” )

5. Save Changes. Go back to “first steps” tab and click “Restart” tab and wait for server to restart

6. Click on “Maintenance” and “Rebuild database”. Twonky will now start from scratch and build to database ready for the DS to use.

7. Close out of Twonkymedia

3. Click on “Sharing” , in the Content locations section, select the “Browse” button to select your Music location
