Hi All
Would be nice to have a thread with input for all the DLNA(id3/cover..) questions regarding the Moment.
I am so glad I bought the Moment, and Deezer has almost all music I like, but some of my CD's are not there, so I am thinking about getting a NAS for this.
I have tested Twonky 8.4 with iTunes on my Mac running Sierra, and this works perfect. Ripping cd's in Apple Lossles (m4p) is fine, and albums and tagging works perfect.
But.. Since Twonky is not supported on QNap any more(maybe with hacks), is the Moment 2.x FW ready and working with other DLNA servers, maybe the Synology Play series or something else ?
What DLNA/NAS are you guys using, and what format are you ripping CD's in ?
Thanks

Great that you like Moment Moment surely deserve some love now after the new firmware release.
I switched from Twonky running on my iMac and serving content from my DS212J Synology NAS to a setup where I only use the Media Manager in my Synology NAS.
It works very well (running the 2.x firmware), and my feeling is that B&O are making Moment less dependent on Twonky. I think the main benefit with Twonky is that playlists works.
I have have ripped files in Apple Lossless and FLAC format and either works well with Moment.

Sounds great with Synology working :) I don't use playlists on twonky (yet), but does that not work with Synology then ? It is a minor thing, if the albums and covers work, then this is fine with me :)

Seems that the 'play' versions are more powerfull and have a Hardware Transcoding Engine.
You will benefit from this, if you play videomaterial (in high quality) from it.
For use with the Moment, the 'mormal' version will be fine.
The OS will be the same on both.

Millemissen is right : the "Play" versions have a hardware decoding chip embedded for video trasncoding.
BUT this chip is quite useless if you use a video player that decodes the files itself. It's quite strange to trasncode on the NAS side and play only limited formats on the player side. It's better to upgrade the player to something more powerful than trying to find a player that is compatible with the NAS chip. It seems that even Plex is not compatible with the embedded Synology chip.
On an other side, the Play range is more focused on the multimedia user vs geek/enterprise user typical for this kind of stuff, so some details may be better for your usage. But don't expect anything from the hardware decoding capability.

Useless or not is a big question.
For some users this will be welcomed, if their player does not play all kinds of exotic formats (that you/they might find on the internet).
I guess it is also the aim for a NAS developer, that his product may serve the most users/players.
That aside - there is no need for such a powerfull machine just to serve the BS Moment with files to play.
A good DLNA server can run on less powerfull machines, than the NAS's, they offer today - even a Raspberry Pi 3 will do.

Have actually right now, tested Twonky 8.4 on a RaspberryPi with a 64GB MicroSD :)
Works just fine, and makes no noise, and uses less power..
Question regarding Device Security settings or rather the Device Config; for the Moment would it make any difference to set the Media Receiver Type to Bang & Olufsen - Anyone played around with this and noticed any difference?
