I use Foobar for FLAC and other lossless formats and iTunes for MP3's. So do my kids and my wife. And since a while it all is on a QNAP TS412 NAS (4x2Tb). All the iTunes instalations can handle it perfectly. The Qnap has an embedded Twonky audio streaming service. It works, as long as I don't put to much on it, and as long as I transcode to MP3. It plays to my iPhone and to something like a Naim NDX (no transcoding needed for the Naim). But it also has an option to aggregate, that is to play not only my music, but also the music from my wife and kids - and there my problems start and my question arises.
Problem: All songs together are more than 100.000 files (song, tag, albumart...) and Twonky reads the first 100.000 files in 2 hours, and then slows down to 3000 files in 24 hours while becoming comatose. After 24 hours it comes to a total standstill. And I don't see a parameter to assign it more resources or something like that. CPU-usage is realy low. I also have a server running Windows 2008 so I installed Windows Media Services - but that can't see external media (like my Qnap). Twonky on that Windows 2008 server has the same limitations as on the QNAP.
Question: Does anyone know (UPnP) streaming server software that can handle more than 100.000 files that are stored on a NAS?
