Hello All

 

I've just published 3.0.6060.0-15, which adds support for DSM version 5.2-5967 on Intel based Synology and XPEnology systems.

UPDATE: Release 3.0.6070.0-1 is now available.

 

If I upgrade my XPEnology build from DSM 5.2-5592 to 5.2-5967 should I then see it in the community part of the package centre after adding the repo or do I need to sign up for the beta somewhere?

That's correct you should see it then.

Hi!

 

Finally been able to get Emby server on a xpenology server DSM 5.2-5967.

 

Emby Version: 3.0.6070.0-1

 

It seems to serve media fine.

 

The itv player plugin doesn't work in that it doesn't list the programs or play the live tv streams - is this plugin broken on synology?

The tunein plugin also doesn't work as none of the streams play - is this plugin broken on synology?

Just tried the Revision 3 and those streams don't play either.

 

 

If these things should be working then what logs do I need to provide?

 

Cheers!

I have had the same experience whereby none of the plugins work. I am wondering if it has anything to do with xpenology

Thanks for posting a response to this earlier @@Bimmermad.

 

@@BarryAmerika XPEnology is fully supported on stable now, minimum DSM is 5.2-5967.

A couple of observations after running the server n my DS1010+ (DSM 5.2) for a couple of days now:

 

The server is coping reasonably well with my very large library (4TB of shows, movies, music, audiobooks, home videos etc).

Browsing via web client is a little slow - this could be the due to the size of the library, or the speed of the NAS CPU or the Disks (in RAID5).

 

The console is quite snappy and responsive - the latest update (3.0.0.6070.0-2) seems to have made a bif difference in responsiveness. 

 

Memory load (from Mono) is between 250MB to 700MB. When it hits 700 MB, the server becomes kind of slow but it doesn't happen often, mainly during a library scan. It seems to gradually reduce to reasobale levels after. I need to observe it over a longer period to be sure.

Meanwhile, I changed the frequency of library scans to once a day, to reduce the impact.

 

A couple of questions:

1) Does auto-update (via package center) work? I haven't tried it for fear of messing something up...

2) Regarding plugins - do you need to reinstall them every time you update?

3) Will the "server-restart" plug-in work? Or is it safer to shut down and restart emby manually for now?

 

Thanks for any advice!

 

Hello @@dimitrik

 

Thanks @@shad0h for jumping in with some answers to the above. There are some notes here on the Wiki, regarding automatic updates: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-Notes-on-Package-Updates

 

Regarding restarting the server from the WebUI, this is something that we have some ideas on and will tackle once we have the other Synology architectures supported. We support stopping through the WebUI, but starting has to be done via Package Center, for now.

Any news for the DS216play Emby version?

Posted

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.

    1) Are you currently running Emby on Synology? If yes, which Synology platform are you using?


Not on a Synology, but on my computer.


 


    2) Would you be willing to test development packages? (these will install in parallel and not touch or interfer with the existing installation)


Yes, i'd love to help testing. I have a Synology DS216play
