Serviio

Hello mimis and sorry for late reply.


I tried to make a guide how you can see or find log files on NAS.

1. For first you need program called WinSCP https://winscp.net/eng/download.php And install it. (its a small client program)
2. Go to NAS and enable SSH service. (see pic 1)
3. Set up connection and connect. (see pic 2)
4. See log files. (see pic 3)

Hi all - I have updated the Serviio package to 1.10.1, and added support for the new DS119j model.

Unfortunately Synology decided to remove the ability to view package log files via the DSM 6.2 GUI and they've provided no information in the Developer Guide on how to integrate with the new Log Center apps. I lack the motivation to reverse engineer the stuff they invariably smash up with each DSM release, so unfortunately troubleshooting Serviio does now require some familiarity with SSH or SCP, as atc98092 and Meelis have explained above.

but is hw transcoding supported on models like ds918+ ?

I'm afraid not. The technical reasons why not are already explained here near the bottom of the page in the section titled "Hardware transcoding support".

After update i see some library's empty. But i can see the movies from these library's from web interface.

I have updated the Synology package to Serviio 2.0. Be sure to clear your web browser cache following the upgrade or the Serviio Console will not render correctly (errors, and missing elements). This is not a Synology-specific issue, and has been reported on the main forum too.

First, I would like to say thanks @patters for bringing Serviio to NAS. I have a new Synology DS218+ and serviio is installed and everything is working correctly but I have run in to one little hitch. It doesn't seem to update when new files are added. I have tried the poller system but that didn't make a difference. The only way I can get new files added is to Force Refresh. Is there something I am missing? I have been a pro user for a few years and never really had an issue with my windows installations. I recently moved to my new NAS to free up my PC and am enjoying it, save for this one hiccup. Thanks for any input.

Hi, I have same system up an a bit familiar that issue what you describe... But i havent payd much attention on that. Overall its working fine. As i rememmber i had something similar when i uploaded a lot of files to NAS. But if only 1-2 movies then no problem. Maybe was small delay...

Disclaimer: did not read all 18 pages of this thread.

I do have a question or recommendation:

Allow for a manual installation option. Why? Because right now it depends on getting a deployment package from your blog site. What happens if you win the lottery or get hit by a bus? There would be no way to be able to reinstall on a NAS as most likely your website would disappear.

Just the fact we have to put the embedded headless installer in a specific folder puts me in a place where I'd like to have all the files in a central location for me to add to my single/multiple NAS devices without requiring a single point website where it could disappear without notice.

I assume this can use the manual install option in the spk package yes?

Please consider this a request.

Thanks.
Chris

Hi everyone,

Thanks.

Hi,
I got a Synology DS211 since 4 year only for Serviio.
Since i've upgrade to Serviio 1.6, using the "ssh" method, the CPU load still above 90%, even if no content was played.
Transcoding option is Off in Serviio console.
When i check Ressources Monitor, the process named "ffmpeg" use always more than 65%, many time 99% of CPU.
The only thing that was not upgraded is Java, my version is : 1.8.0_65-0035.
There's a solution, or shuld i downgrade my Serviio version to 1.5

Any idea when you may release 2.1 version for Synlogy?

Thx.

It's done. Unfortunately I've found very little time for this between work, the pandemic, and parenting. One of the delays was I had to make sense of how I'd set up the repo hosting in AWS several years ago. When you don't look at something in that long you forget how you did it. It's complex because of the insane numbers of products which distinct model designations, and architectures.

Thank you, sir!

I also added support in for all the new models that have been released in the last couple of years since 2.0

Has anyone upgraded to DSM 7.0? Will this break Serviio or is it safe to upgrade?

There are other threads that mention that 7.0 breaks Serviio.

I didn't upgraded. I wait with that. I don't have any need for update actually.
