space2001 18 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 This would be great since I have all my stuff stored on a synology NAS. They have a plex app on it right now. Is there plans for a synology app 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AlwinHummels 134 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) This would be great since I have all my stuff stored on a synology NAS. They have a plex app on it right now. Is there plans for a synology app For now the devs theam is working on the server on mono. The mono version at the synology Package Center is to old so we have to wait for an update from Synology. I requested it at synology and the said: We already have this feature include in future evaluation. Best Regards, Andy Yu Synology Inc. Maybe after that it's possible to make a Synologypackage for MediaBrowser Server. Edited October 16, 2013 by AlwinHummels 2 Link to post Share on other sites
gcw07 347 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The biggest problem with a Synology version and even with Plex is that it will struggle to transcode because the horse power just isn't there in those boxes. I am running a 1511+ and just don't see how it could ever transcode things properly. If your never transcoding then it would be fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26720 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 yea but with the way the devices are improving, as time goes on encoding will be needed less frequently. Link to post Share on other sites
SLIMaxPower 1 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I agree. Transcoding not really required for ppl running off a nas. I recently moved to PLEX as I had issues running the MB3 server on my HTPC; was causing time out issues with my N36l running freenas scanning every time the HTPC woke to record or started by user. I still have MB3 server installed on the HTPC - never used though. I have requested for a plugin for MB3 @ freenas forums and @ freebsd pbi. I assume once nix is done done it will will go there.

gcw07 347 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 You know you can turn off the scan on wake up right. Link to post Share on other sites
ebr 11612 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I agree. Transcoding not really required for ppl running off a nas. There really isn't any correlation between the need for transcoding and whether or not you have network attached storage. The main factors are the format of your content and the clients you use to play it back. Link to post Share on other sites
space2001 18 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 this will be for me streaming to hTPC's. So for my requirments I do not need transcoding. Right now I am using XBMC, but I love the fact of a server so I can keep all media synced over all the systems. With my 2 systems everything is split. Link to post Share on other sites
a3gill 9 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Hello, I just wanted to throw my hat in the ring... I have a Drobo 5N, and while I'm not familiar with the product you are discussing, it sounds like a similar scenario. NAS with embedded, specialized Linux distribution with Plex available along with several other "DroboApps," both sanctioned and otherwise. If you are interested, I recommend visiting the following site: http://www.droboports.com/ They have a lot of information about porting over existing Linux applications. Thanks, Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
SLIMaxPower 1 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 You know you can turn off the scan on wake up right. I asked this question a while ago and told it wasn't an option. Can I set it for a specific time ? cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Pirlo1966 22 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I would love to spend some rubles for a synology MB3 Server app. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Influencer 0 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hey everyone. I use to be really active in the MB world (jcalton88) but fell out of it for quite a while. Lots of moving and changes, life getting in the way of hobbies. Anyway, I digress, I had built an unraid server a couple years ago so my HTPC didn't have to be on all the time. Having a decently high-powered machine on all the time to serve media just wasn't cost effective. The HTPC was used as a server/gaming machine/encoding/blah blah. Since MB was Windows only I had to part ways and settled with Plex. Plex is good at what it does, a no fuss interface, works quite well. But I started with Media browser, actually started using it right before the name change. I love the community, the customization and the program itself and I would love to be able and use MB again. Since I want everything to run on the unraid server I'm not currently able to do so, but would love to test things out when it gets to that point. I'm Influencer on the unraid forums and would love to help anyway possible. In other news, I installed MB3 Server to my laptop and installed the Roku app to play with things. I like it, a bit of unused real estate but I know everything is still beta. I'll have to explore more later and see what all I've been missing! Link to post Share on other sites
One2Go 83 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 +1 on MB for UnRaid. I am in the same situation as you are. I have 2 UnRaid servers and would love to have MB running on them. Hopefully the devs here will eventually get this up and running. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Beardyname 176 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 We need more updates on this mono up and running ready for testing! Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26720 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I could use some help with a coupe laborious tasks such as creating ready-made vm's that can be used for debugging. If anyone can help please let me know. Link to post Share on other sites
claftchi 0 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hey everyone, I've been a long time fan of this project, and have installed MB on every Windows PC I've had that's had WMC. I did step away from the project when I made a debian based central server for my home network, so naturally, I'd love to be able to put a MB server on my debian box. So +1 for these efforts, and for MB3 in general! In terms of help that is needed, are you still waiting on these VMs? Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26720 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 yea, some premade VM's with the latest version of mono (3.2.4) would be fantastic. if i can get those i'll start putting more time into this again. Link to post Share on other sites
claftchi 0 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So to spell it out, as it were... Do you need any particular linux distribution? x86, x86_64? I only see rpms built for OpenSuse 11.4, but I could probably pull it from git and make it on something else. Also, any particular VM format? I could probably set up some machines in my free time.
