    The tech support document correctly warns about using an IP, unless you have reserved the IP then it will change and you of course loose connection. A lot of users are not aware enough to reserve IP addresses.

    During a rebuild index it does “count” in blocks so if you have a small library it may complete reindexing before the count is updated. Not sure about the error but you may have tried to access the library too quickly and it was still finishing. A rebuild index clears the database and starts from scratch but a reindex just looks, for newly added tracks.

    My point was that this applies also if I specify the name, as the players seem to save the IP-address.

    To clarify: I was talking about the situation when there was no library, because the NAS had a different IP-address than they players thought it had.
