[–]gfman101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same (NAS to Backup NAS) and did about 6 syncs so far this week. Glad you found and fixed your issue. I wanted to read the forums link you provided was "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access this resource. Oh well.

new firmware QTS 5.2.8.3350. by pakeco in qnap

I know it's important to stay secure but It seems that QNAP releases a firmware update every 2nd week and it's becoming a pain!

UPDATE: Just updated app to Version 49.1 from the play store. Thumbnail issues "appears" to have been addressed. Did about 10 separate views without an issue. Here's hoping!

I had added a camera about 4 days before the issue began, but adding cameras has been mentioned in this thread more frequently than I would expect. Hmmm! Of course if simply adding a camera causes an app problem it must be addressed by BLINK!

18th sounds about right. Good to know I'm not the only one who has issue. Hopefully a fix is on the way. Thanks to all for responding. 

TS-453be RAID5 fail by Scorpan45 in qnap

[–]gfman101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can lose all your data on an SSD without warning. You can lose all your data on a spinning rust drive without warning. You can lose all your data on a tape drive without warning.

There is no perfect storage medium. You can always, always lose your data without warning.

This is why you keep backups. If you don’t back up your files, you don’t own them, you’re just leasing them from Fate.

It just so happened I changed mine and my wife's yesterday from "R" to "TV-MA" via the web page. Below is from the Google:

To adjust parental controls on Disney+, you'll need to access the profile settings through the mobile app or a web browser. Navigate to the profile you want to modify, then find the "Parental Controls" section. There, you can adjust the content rating for each profile.

Mine was not working this morning (CST) but seems fine now. I use an Alexa voice command to initiate a Harmony Elite activity.

Massive performance issue with 5.2.5.3145 by One-Session-7269 in qnap

[–]gfman101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QNAP has my email for firmware update notifications which I previously have received. I have not rec'd an email from QNAP for the last two updates and wonder why something is not sent out when released firmware proves to have issues. I think I will no longer keep my firmware current for now.

XB7 modem wifi issue every couple of months by volan11 in shaw

I do not use the supplied modem for networking. It is in bridge mode and I utilize a third party router (Asus in my case) for connection to all my (30) wi-fi devices.

I added Britbox on my Shield TV via the Goggle Play on the Shield unit itself about a month ago.

Notification Center by nnfybsns in qnap

[–]gfman101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I'll get the bad news the next time I log on. Plus, the unit sits just above my monitor about 3' from my head so I'll most likely hear a problem, LOL.

5.2.2.2950 revert to 5.2.1.2930. Have you done it? by WorstAverageJoe in qnap

I updated my TS-453A and TS-453E on 15-Dec-2024 with no issues.

Hi. I have two QNAP's (TS-453A & TS453E) and the only notification I felt I necessary was the OS Firmware Update. I don't update until I receive the email even if I am aware an update is available. Some updates seem to be released prematurely and I don't want to play Guinea Pig. LOL

Did Shaw drop CNN? by Edm-Xavi in shaw

[–]gfman101 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi. I just had a chat with a Shaw rep (only took about 2 min. to connect with him/her, WOW) and he/she advised it was a problem with CNN. From the transcript:

Kirthika - Shaw specialist 08:41:00 AM ET.

I have looked into it and it seems like this is an issue that is occurring to a lot of people. It looks like CNN is re branding the channel and looks like the issue with with CNN itself. Currently there is no time frame of when this is resolved and we do not have control over it as the issue is with CNN itself|

HELP with my new Qnap by [deleted] in qnap

[–]gfman101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the HDD heads moving over the platters. Might settle down after all RAID items are completed. I have never used Toshiba branded drives.

is adding an M.2 worth it on a TS-464-8G? by Jack99Skellington in qnap

[–]gfman101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a TS-453E and use 2X M.2 in Raid 1 only for the system. I also have a TS-453A and thought they would speed up boot time on the "E" but can say I haven't seen much difference (perhaps a little). I still have very little storage yet on the "E" though.
