Srupid question but do I have to use the Synology (DSM 7 Beta) for DSM 7 final or can I just use the normal Synology download?

[ng4ever 40]

Thanks for any help.

I would say yes and @Luke or @ebrwill have to update the web page to just reflect DSM 7.

Might even need to label both as I would guess there might be devices limited to DSM 6.

Agree @Happy2Play  We need the two entries now to say:

Synology (DSM 6)
Synology (DSM 7)

[ng4ever 40]

So there are two different versions ok. Thanks.

[Carlo 4561]

Actually there are these versions:
64 bit NAS
32-bit (x86)
ARMv8
2 versons for ARMv7
ARMv5
PPC

Each of the above are built for DSM 6 and DSM 7 which are different.
So the amount of builds just for Synology is pretty high.

No as DSM has changed structure from my understanding that is why on has to copy stuff if changing from 6 to 7.

Ok to my last question now is Emby for DSM 7 still beta ? or not really ?

 

 

[Carlo 4561]

No they are different.

Basically you need to know what version of DSM your NAS is running.
When logged into DSM you get get 2 pieces of info needed here:

So in this example the NAS is the DS920+ and my DSM version is 7.

Next go to https://emby.media/download.html

Pick between the two Synology pages based on running DSM 6 or 7

Now you have two sections.  The top is the release set and the bottom is beta.  So if I want the release version for the 920+ I would choose the top section 64-bit NAS since this NAS uses a 64 bit Intel Proc.

This is the section that can be confusing so if you don't know if you NAS is an ARM (which version), 32 or 64 bit, just ask and someone will help.

DSM 7 was released 6/29 so it's the new official DSM.

[ng4ever 40]

So basically for official new final DSM 7 I use the  Synology  (DSM 7 Beta) version right ?

 

Just making sure sorry.

It was only beta because DSM was labeled beta.  So if DSM is Final then Emby's label will have to change.  But there is nothing beta about Emby it was beta per Synology DSM.

Running Emby server v.4.6.2.0 on my Synology 920+  and Emby is suggesting an I upgrade to 4.6.4.0.

DSM (6.2.4.x) shows Emby as stopped and no updates available, but Emby is running fine on this NAS. Odd that DSM shows Emby as stopped when it is definitely running.

No updates show in DSM for Emby and the package source is listed as packages.synocommunity.com

Do I download from https://emby.media/synology-server.html, and download the 64-bit NAS build?

Emby server suggested following the link above and shutting down the server. Once Emby is shut down do I perform a manual install in DSM by uploading the 4.6.4.0 spk package?

On the website it is no longer listed as beta, so you need to use the correct one for your DSM version:

Thanks. I am still running DSM 6 and no immediate plans to go DSM7. Thanks for confirming the d/l location, looks like I was in the right spot.

Emby server suggested shutting down the server to install the update. Once Emby is shut down do I perform a manual install in DSM6 by uploading the 4.6.4.0 spk package?

Yes, that is correct.

Thanks. I updated today, shutdown Emby, installed the package manually and restarted and it retained my config. Thanks
