Serviio 1.6 - Synology NAS install does not work! - SOLVED!
I made the upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 and the mandatory Java update too
Nothing works.
According to the Synology package the java has a hotspot & serviio shows as running.
Installed the PC console (mac version) and attempted to set the library
Problem 1) The console does not easily identify network shares ... you need to know the syntax to get to your NAS - OK if your a Linux / windows command line genius, not so for us mortals
Problem 2) When you do eventually find the correct syntax for linking to your drive SMB:/DISKSTATION/Films/ (is this correct? who knows!!) and save it, nothing happens
Problem 3) When you go back to check your library, Is shows a warning triangle and says the drive / location is not available - the location syntax has changed to /smb:/DISKSTATION/Fims/
Rolled back to V 7 java - no difference ... tried to fins a working Serviio V1.5 with no success
Tried installing the synology V6 & V7 Java releases , no change
Following advice from the forum, i tried again on a windows machine ...
V1.6 does not work with XP !
Using a Win 7 machine, i installed the PC package without the server ... big mistake... error the server does not seem to be running and a white box
uninstalled and reinstalled with the server and i get the program to start .... specify my NAS location using the syntax... and it gives the same error drive / location not ready / available
So windows console doesn't work & Mac console dosent work .
Is it the NAS package or the NAS Java?
So where do i go from here??
1.4 & 1.5 worked ... 1.6 clearly dosent.
Can we have an archive we can use to allow us to get somthing up and running .
