solabc16 379 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi Folks ! I first tried to run Emby on my intel desktop PC and I've been convicted ! Now I'm trying to run it on my Synology DS414j (based on a Comcerto C2000), unfortunately the link for the Emby package for this particular CPU seems broken Could you please tell me where else I can find this package ? Thanks in advance ! [EDIT] Found it ! Hello @@leforban A native package for your platform will be coming soon, I'll let you know when the beta programme starts. Until then, you can use the manual method, which it looks like you've found. - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miket5au 0 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I have installed emby on my DS-1815 and it works fine however I had one problem. I was setting up the metadata path prior to copying over the imagesbyname folder I was using for emby on Windows and the apply / save was hanging (I could navigate way but save never finished). The reason was the media folders were readonly to emby because I had set up my media folders with only one user having write access to prevent accidental deletion of media after visitors dragged and dropped folders on windows and moved rather than copied them :-(. Once I gave the embysvr user write access the save of the metadata path worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solabc16 379 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hello @@miket5au We haven't written a Wiki article on using custom paths (yet), but perhaps that's an article we should add in the future. The embysvr user needs RW access to any custom paths, in the same way that it does for a typical installation, which we discuss here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-Setting-Up-Your-Media-Library-Share Was there a particular reason you didn't want to use the default location /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var/metadata, which on a typical system maps to /volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/var/metadata. - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solabc16 379 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Hello All The Emby package for all Marvell based Synology systems has been published today. If you're not sure what processor your box has, you can check here https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-Summary-of-Models-by-Processor. To install, follow the instructions under the Synology section here http://emby.media/nas-server.html. As with the Intel release, migration from the community edition is supported and there is a wiki article on the process here https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-Migrating-From-the-Community-Package. Let us know how you get on and of course, any issues check out the Synology forum. Best - James Edited September 10, 2016 by solabc16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had lots of people images and have been using meta browser to get the metadata. Just thought it was a useful note in case anyone else has a problem similar as emby did not return an error, it just spun its wheels until I navigated to another tab or option.

solabc16 379 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hello @@Heinrichxx Unfortunately, we don't currently have support for DSM5 on the Marvell series of Synology boxes, which affects the x10 series. Synology's DSM cutoff point for new releases is time based, rather than technical capability. (i.e. DSM6 is available for the Kirkwood based x11 series) We have added support for DSM5 to the Intel based hardware now, so we can look to do the same for these platforms as well.
