Hi Marc

Thankyou for the reply. I may well be in the wrong location but when I try to contact support via mynetgear the only option is to pay for support, as my box is 1 day out of warrentie. Am I missing something, ? is their another way to contact support ?

 

Cheers Tim

If your device is already out of warranty, it will require to have a contract purchased.

 

Can you send me logs and also screenshots of the issue you have encountered so we can try to report it.

 

I also sent you a PM.

 

 

Regards

    Which of course is a very expensive way for a user to submit what amounts to an enhancement request.  It'd cost Linux_lad $75 USD or more - even if he opts for per-incident support.

      Hi

      So first of all many thanks for the replys, not sure how the PM thing works not found it yet but I will keep looking.

      Logs and screen shots are not going to be alot of use in this situation as their is nothing to see. To be clear the problem is one of progress rather than error.

      iTunes has now been retired by Apple, the latest version of MacOS which  is Catalina no longer has iTunes and instead uses the new Apple Music App.

      The iTunes shares on a ReadyNAS box usesa p[ackage (program) called forked-daapd to facilitate the sharing of the music libuary to clients on the local network.

      It creates a database of the music stored on the ReadyNAS in the folders which are set to use the iTunes server, and then tells the local clients how to find them.

       

      On the current version of Raidiator OS 6.10.2, which I have installed, the version of forked-daapd is 24.2-0. This version DOES NOT support the new Apple Music app.

      See list of supported clients here -

      https://github.com/ejurgensen/forked-daapd/blob/24.2/README.md

       

      Only the latest version which is 26.6 is listed as supporting the Music app. 

      See list of supported clients here -

      I hope this clarifies the situation, cheers for now Tim

        "PM" is "private message".  Click on the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
