Readynas Duo problems as media server with Squeezebox

Question

Hi , sorry bit of a noob. I am using Readynas Duo as a media server to stream music using my Logitech squeezebox. I have the Tidal app instelled on teh squeezebox but if it only works if I connect to my PC based logitech media server. I can connect to the readynas and play media files stored there but the Tidal app dissapears. I want to be able to use Tidal without having to switch on the PC, is this possible?

I don't use squeezebox myself, so I can't help much.

But I am wondering if you have installed the squeezebox server on your NAS, or if you are only using ReadyDLNA.

Hi, I sucessfully installed Logitech Media Server on the ReadyNas, I'm also using Ready DLNA for videos.

I believe Tidal also needs a plug-in installed in the server.&nbsp;&nbsp;https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005871329-Squeezebox

Thanks for your reply. I'm not very experienced with this stuff so I may be wrong but I don't think that is the issue. I have already successfully installed tidal on the Logitch Media Server on the PC and can sucessfully stream when using my desktop PC as a meadia server. The difficulty is when using the readynas as a media server. To do this I had to put LMS onto the readynas as an add on, now when I run Squeezebox using the readynas as a media server I can stream all my stored music files but cannot access Tidal. I have not found a way to open the Logitech Media Server on the readynas to add a plug in and I don't think this facility exists. I'm hopeing that I can add a plugin to the readynas that will allow Tidal streaming. I'll follow the links and see where it takes me but I'm still looking for a solution. Thanks anyway.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Again many thanks for your advice, and I'm sure you have steered me in the right direction. I've followed the link and it looks like there is a way to add ickstream plugin to the LMS installed on the readynas. Unfortunatly I am very new to networking and don't understand the instructions. I'd be very grateful if anyone can help me with a step by step walkthrough.
