I have a synology ds412 which has settings for sleep times. I saw the same
behavior on the ds412 when trying to watch a recording so I just disabled sleep
mode.
If you don't mind keeping the QNAP on all the time, then you can find out the
sleep timeout and set up a cron job to run one minute sooner than the sleep
timeout to write and delete a file on the nfs share on the QNAP to keep it from
sleeping.
