Everbrave 62 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Hello All I know it's been a long slog and it feels like we've been playing a never ending game of 'whack-a-mole', but we're finally there. Today we brought up 3.4.1.0 stable on a .NET Core build, specific to Intel based Synology systems. DSM releases from 5.2-5967 onward will be supported, in line with the current Emby Server package for Synology. However, please note, to start with only Intel based systems will be supported. I'll share more details as we go along. I expect the first test packages to be available within the next couple of weeks, so please post here if you'd like to help test, along with the Synology model you'll be testing on; we'll prioritise the builds based on this information. Best - James You can count me in for Beta testing.I have two Synology Diskstations: DS415+ and DS918+ EDIT: I have the DS412+ too in case you need to test this too but it’s retired on my side.

solabc16 379 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hello @@stratumorien As you may have seen, Synology released DSM 6.2 at almost the same time as I posted the last update, so we've had to divert a bit of energy to making sure we have that fully supported - for both the current and upcoming .NET Core package. There's one final issue we're working through now on the beta channel, then we'll be back to focusing on the .NET Core release.

solabc16 379 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hello All A quick follow-up, we completed end-to-end testing of the .NET core package on the 'avoton' architecture today. There's a couple of niggles to sort out, but overall looking very good - see pictures below. I expect the 'avoton' package to be available for closed group testing at some point during the coming week, which will support the following models:- RS818+/RS818RP+ DS1817+ DS1517+ RS2416+/RS2416RP+ RS815+/RS815RP+ DS2415+ DS1815+ DS1515+ DS415+ Best - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solabc16 379 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 GREAT news That print looks awesome. Those who install the NET core will be required to uninstall current version? Hello @@djhifi Sorry, missed this - for the closed group testing (at least), the .NET Core package will install alongside the existing Mono based package. Depending how you configure Emby Server, you theoretically could have them both running at the same time. For our testing, we have them configured identically, so whilst both can sit side by side without issue; you can only have one running at a time like this.

Everbrave 62 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Great news! How will the “closed group” know whether they will receive the package? When will the package for DS918+ available and whether it will support HW Transcoding (VAAPI or QuickSync)? BTW I have both DS415+ and DS918+; but I rely more on the latter because of HW Transcoding.

solabc16 379 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hello @@Everbrave Once we have a package available for the platform you're willing to help test on, I'll get in touch via PM with further details. For systems with h/w transcoding support, VAAPI will be supported in the same way as it is today on these platforms. For the Intel x64 based machines, unless we come across any significant issues, we'll start making packages available the following week, prioritised by tester availability.
