ReadyNAS Duo 2110 V1 not seen by Yamaha R-N602 Amplifier

With the help of this board, I managed to get my elderly ReadyNAS recognised by both my Virgin Hub 3.0 over ethernet and my windows laptop over that wifi. The Yamaha R-N602 Amp sees my laptop over wifi, but not the NAS. The goal is to let the Amp see my NAS to play MP3s.

 

I am running RAIDiator 4.01c1-p2 [1.00a042] .

I tried to upgrade to 4.1.16, but it failed. Could this be a problem?

Is 4.1.3 newer? I thought I might try to install DLNA, but it seems more of a permissions or sharing issue for now.

 

Any thoughts?

    You are runing an ancient version of the OS, and a Beta one at that.  Before you do anything else, you need to get it updated.

     

    The only protocols your amp suports are it's propritary MusicCast and DLNA.  Since MusicCast is for portable devices, you need to use DLNA with the NAS.  You could use DLNA installed on the NAS, or you could use a PC with DLNA with the NAS just as a storage device for that PC.

      Thanks!

       

      Will try the update again :)

       

      should 4.1.16 work to update the beta?

      Thanks - that did it!

       

      I had to update to the oldest firmware on the site first, then to the latest, but then installing the DLNA popped everthing into action.
