Subsonic Downloading to Android Phone Slow

[species8472jj]

My music was originally housed on my local drive, and when that was the case, Subsonic worked fine.

I recently moved all my music to an NAS, and that is when the problems seemed to start occurring. When I try to access music from my phone, I get "retries" and many times, it just ends up in a network error. What I've noticed, is if I choose a particular artist with a smaller number of songs, it comes up, but if if I choose an artist was a lot of songs, it almost always times out resulting in an error.

I just installed the latest version 4.6 beta 1 hoping that the problem would be fixed. I saw nothing referring to that in the release notes, but I figured it was worth a try.

I looked on these forums, and I know that people have had similar issues, however, I could not find a solution. If someone posted a solution, I am sorry for being redundant and asking. I have tried for quite some time to troubleshoot this problem to no avail.

If anyone could offer some help and/or advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Ideally you need SS running on the same pc as the music so can you install SS on the NAS?

SS is on a Windows 7 PC. My music is on a NAS. Please excuse me if I seem dense, but are you suggesting I install SS on my NAS?

I did not think that would work.

It all depends on the NAS device
Have a look at the tutorials section.

Hi,

Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? I have the same issues running the Subsonic server on a WinXP machine, with all of the media files on a D-Link DNS-323 NAS. Access of media on my Android device often times out with a network error, especially when browsing through folders with many files/subfolders. Interestingly, the same files CAN be accessed using a PC and web browser, though it takes a long time for directory views to refresh.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Gerwin

P.S.: Installing Subsonic on the NAS is unfortunately not an option. It's a stand-alone device with little computing power for transcoding media.
