ryan.brownell 3 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) I've installed Emby using the built-in package manager on my Synology NAS (DS1621+). When I go into Emby's Dashboard it tells me that a new version of Emby is available and that I need to restart it... In the package center it says that the latest available version is 4.6.7 Am I doing something wrong here or has the package just not been updated for the Synology NAS Package Center? Thanks; -Ryan Edited July 11, 2022 by ryan.brownell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 My guess is that it's reporting what's available for download manually and not what's available in the store. However, I thought the store would be a little more current than that by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Luke 37060 Posted July 11, 2022 Solution Share Posted July 11, 2022 Hi, we haven't submitted 4.7 yet to Synology, so you have the choice of either waiting for it to be available in Package Center, or updating manually by following the instructions on our website. We'll be submitting it to Synology soon. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMacaroni 24 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) @Luke maybe provide link to that guide? I personally could not find it. Second question, would installing newer package manually, prevent updates via package center later? Edited July 13, 2022 by DonMacaroni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffeque 39 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I think that the instructions Luke means are these: https://emby.media/synology-server.html As for the second question, I'd say that it doesn't prevent future updates through package center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you are waiting for something to get fixed before launching it to Synology's Package Center, but I can't quite pinpoint what it is!

Waiting for the 4.7.X maintenance releases to slow down because given a review process that takes several weeks it will actually take longer if we try to submit every single one to Synology. So we'll have a 4.7.6 release any day now and then ideally we'll submit that one to them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffeque 39 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Just out of curiosity. How long does it usually take since you send them the update until it shows up in the Package Center? I've been able to wait for weeks to update through Package Center, but lately I'm tempted to just update manually, and I'm fighting the urge... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Usually 2-3 weeks. We submitted 4.7.6 at the beginning of this week. Our Synology contact is now a new person, so that may or may not have an impact on response time. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffeque 39 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 My impatience got the best of me: I updated manually Anyway: logged into Emby, shut it down from there, updated manually, it restarted by itself, did a database vacuum, restarted Emby manually, and... it all looks great! Thanks! I then added the "Skip intro" task to my TV series folder and after a few hours, all done! I'm assuming that once the version in the Package Center is available, it will ask to update again. I'll shut down Emby from inside before "updating" it, just in case. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan.brownell 3 Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 It looks like we can add custom Package Manager sources to the Synology NAS. Perhaps this may be a better way to get updates sooner since Synology's review process seems to be indefinitely stalled. Here is an example of a project that is using this installation methodology: https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Install-Homebridge-on-Synology-DSM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby already had its own repository at one time before switching to both a manual download and Synology store options.

The review failed in October due to one platform sadly, and they are skipping November so our next chance is the December drop . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
