Serviio

Let me know if that solves your issue....although you'll need to rebuild your database.....which doesn't sound like fun to me.

I recently reinstalled my NAS and had to reinstall Serviio too, this time with the 2.1 version instead of 2.0

The installation went without any issues, but i however do not have any "shortcut" to serviio in the "Start Menu" or on desktop - Is there a way to re-create it? Based on the initial post it should be there as im reading it?

As always, great work with the package, and very nice with the tip "You must install Java8 before installing this package" in Package center, but it could be even more precise by adding the word Embedded, since Synology also has their Java8 package, its a really minor thing but hey, just a suggestion

Thanks for the feedback. I did re-read my post and it states "Java 8 SE embedded".....this is what your describing yes?

As far as the icon, I'll have the dev take a look, I can't mess my install as it takes a long time to recover.

Question, if you put in the admin console link, does the admin panel show up?

Hi and thanks for your reply

In regards to the Java 8 tip.. I dont mean in the post here, but rather in the Synology Package center, if you try to install it without having Java 8 Embedded installed, you will get a "You must install Java8 before installing this package" notification from the Package center itself, and the package will not install, not even sure if this tip is created by you guys or if its a standard synology check thing.



I naively just installed the Synology Java8 package and still got the same warning, uninstalled it and installed the Embedded one, and it was working.

So it's just the notification from the package center.

And yes, everything appears to be working as it should (It's currently indexing my files again) so i can access the console via the :23423/console link, but just for my own OCD, i would like the "desktop" icon in DSM

Oh one last thing, i noticed that the version attached to this topic was version 0.14 or 0.24 (Cant remember exactly now) and the latest version package center will update to is 0.28, maybe the attached file could be updated as well Not trying to be nitpicky here, just suggestions on making it even easier for new users

Best regards

I can see serviio in the repository, but unfortunately if I won't install java 8 first, I get the same notification from the package center.
Any idea anyone??

These are the land mines that I've been warning against all along, but fortunately patters as returned and updated.

The issue you have here is something I ran into, the java you need doesn't show up in the repository and has to be installed manually.

I only had to do it one, but the .spk version of the file has to be put in the PUBLIC folder that is created on your NAS and then in stalled MANUALLY.

So I've attached the file to this post. UNZIP IT FIRST.....then place the .spk file in the PUBLIC folder on your NAS......access the Synology admin area......go to file station......and double click to start the java.spk installer from the PUBLIC folder.

That should solve your issue.

Let me know how that goes as soon as you finish so we can have a confirmation data point.

EDIT: This forum is so stupid....can't attach the file of any extension to help SUPPORT you....you'll have to trust my link then because the dumb forum won't let me attach it here.

Question for you, have you ever had Serviio run on your NAS or is this the first time? Also, what DSM are you using?

Hello again, this is the first time for Serviio on this NAS (I had serviio ver 1.6 on my old NAS and i was very excited with this app, in my opinion far way better than Plex) and I have DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3.
I'm sure you will find a solution and I really thank you once again for your effort!!!!

Ok good, don't update to 7.0 as there are issues that are unsolvable right now.

I've contacted Patters to see if he can help provide some insight here and to see if it's a hardware or java issue.

I'll update as soon as I hear back from him.

All the links to it are dead or access denied....I've sent him PM to see if it can be fixed....while the webpage is still valid, all download links have issues.

However, if you follow the original links from my blog page (and from the package error messages) you will see at the bottom of that Oracle webpage is an option for "Java SE Embedded Archive Downloads". The file needed by the package can be found there. As was the case all along, you need to sign up for an Oracle account to actually access the downloads. This is why I cannot distribute the files. It's free to get this account though you just need to fill out some information. Doesn't have to be accurate though Well the email address probably does need to be.

Thanks for the update and linkage.....I only did this once when I first set it up and was foggy on how it was done.

I've downloaded all 3 versions to ensure a copy will be around for the long haul....thanks patters for the assist!
