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  :unsure:

 

Could you please tell me where else I can find this package ?

 

Thanks in advance !  :P

 

[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.

Hello @@camielkb

 

What type of Synology box do you have? Is the version you have running the original community based manual installation?

 

- James

I'm on a XPenology DSM 5.2-5967. I started with the original community manual installation, but would love to stay up to date with the current releases on automatic updates. Is there an update how to? Thanks! (Sorry for a bit late reply, busy days :))

Hello @@camielkb

 

XPenology is fully supported now, but the minimum firmware level is 5.2-5967.

 

For the initial setup you can follow the instructions under the Synology section here: http://emby.media/nas-server.html

 

We had a couple of users on the beta test programme upgrade from an earlier firmware revision with no issues.

 

If you need any guidance, you could reach out to @@RobsterUK.

As @@solabc16 mentioned you should check out the Synology Wiki. Particularly this link to migrate from the community package.

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-Migrating-From-the-Community-Package

 

I've made the switch over to the supported package on my XPENO box, without any issues so far.

I do still have the community package installed, but I have not had any issues with the supported one so far. ;)

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.

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.

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.

No particular reason. 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.

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.

Hello @@Heinrichxx

 

All of the models from 2011 through 2016 are supported, we had to wait and see if there was any interest for the 2010 models.

 

We had to take the same approach with Intel support, so as to make best use of avilable time and resource.

 

I'll PM you next week, when I'll take a look at putting together a beta package for the 2010 series Marvell hardware.

Hello @solabc16

 

I'm on the latest stable release (3.0.8100), but using the "old" way to install Emby on a DS416 (and updating package through SSH).

I've done what you asked for.

 

Thanks for your help :)

Hello @

 

Ah, ok, so you're running the older community based installation?

 

If so, then you can install the new Emby supported package in parallel, by following the instruction under the Synology section here: https://emby.media/nas-server.html

 

You can then migrate your configuration by following the steps in this Wiki article: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-Migrating-From-the-Community-Package

 

If you have any questions or need any assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

Hello All

 

For those of you following the updates closely, you may have noticed that we now have Emby supported packages for all Synology* and XPEnology platforms running DSM 5.2-5967 or later.

 

If you're reading this and don't have Emby Server installed, you will find everything you need to know under the Synology section here: https://emby.media/nas-server.html

 

I'd like to say a big thank you to all of those in the community that contributed to this effort, without which it would not have been possible.

 

As of writing, Emby Server for Synology/XPEnology is running on 17 different architectures and 81 different models!

* Support for QorIQ based machines (DS213+, DS413) is not currently possible.
