Qmedia App for Roku: How to get qmedia to play entire music album?

Post by Bisher »

Hello,
I have just connected my Roku Tv to My Qnap 251 throw the Qmedia app.
Works well while browsing movies. The Problem is when trying to play an entire music album (folder) say with 12 tracks. The app, Qmedia, the only option the app gives, is to play one track, then I will need to choose the second, press play again and so on.
Is there a feature in the app setting that allows selecting to play all tracks?

Congratulations on getting that app/channel to work. For me, I have to use the Roku Media Player which actually connects and plays music (entire folders) just fine.

Thank You albumman.
I see that Roku Media Player does a much better job.
Works for me!

Just checked the new Roku channels and see another DLNA player called "My Music". Tried it and works much faster but shows unknown in the artist field. This one has several options like playlist and sort. While it connected right away, the scary part is that it never asked for login info.

The NAS login and pw. I recall that Qmedia (which only worked once then removed) and the Roku Media Player both asked for it the first time.
