Newbie - Problem Installing Serviio

I am a bit new to all this but Serviio is the only solution i can see to get my samsung tv to work properly with DLNA other than buying another device. My problem is this
When going through the setup i get to the following part

"ipkg install optware-devel" - this is fine and when i goto the next stage "cp /usr/syno/bin/wget /opt/bin" this is also ok but at the following stage "ipkg update" it come up withthe following error

An error ocurred, return value: 1.
Collected errors

"ipkg download error: command failed with return value 41: 'wget --passive-ftp -q -p /opt/ipkg-rcj5kv http:/ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08qlarmel/cross/unstable/Packages.gz"

i am currently running win 7 64 on my pc and a DS211J

Thankyou in advance for helping with this learning curve

Patters might help you, I'm moving this topic to NAS forum.

Ok, i hope he or someone can as i am really stuck.

Looks like the error relates to wget failing to reach the repository to download the file. Have you tried again in case the server was offline? Has your Syno definitely got a DNS server configured in its network setup? Can you ping ipkg.nslu2-linux.org?

Similar issue here:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=16929

Definitely works on mine:

  Code:

~$ ipkg update
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable/Packages.gz
Inflating http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable/Packages.gz
Updated list of available packages in /opt/lib/ipkg/lists/cross

I can ping it but not sure what you mean about th e DNS bit

Could it be my billion 7800n Router causing the problem as i am using wireless?

[patters]

If it pings ok then your syno can resolve DNS ok.
I guess it could be something to do with your firewall/router not being application aware enough to NAT passive mode FTP correctly. Is it old? Have you got restrictive rules in force?

I currently use a Billion 7800n modem Router and it not old. I have spoken to them and they suggested putting the details of the nas in port mapping which i have done but still does not work.

Could it have anything to do with the port number used on the router or should i maybe not do this wireless and either plug direct into the nas or router by ethernet

just had another try today from the start and no joy at all. I plugged the laptop direct into the router,
Ran the bootstrap no problem and downloading in putty was fine but as soon as i get to ipkg update in command below that is when i get the error.

ipkg remove wget
cp /usr/syno/bin/wget /opt/bin
ipkg update
ipkg upgrade
ipkg install optware-devel

Could this error be because i am running DSM 3.1 which has only just been released. I have tried again and again but really struggling, please any help appreciated.

[patters]

Ah, that could be the problem I suppose. I carried out the process on DSM 3.0 and I have recently upgraded to DSM 3.1, but I didn't need to do that bit as the Optware stuff survived the upgrade. I can't really simulate your install scenario without doing a factory restore on my Syno - not something I'm up for as you can imagine.

Here is the wget binary from an RS411 (same Marvell Kirkwood CPU) that I bought for work which is still running DSM 3.0.
You may need to do a chmod +x on it to make it executable.

Does that help?

What you are suggesting might be a little bit complex for my mind. I am ok following the installation instructions word for word etc but adding things in i dont understand is a recipe for disaster.
Do you know if the instructions for setup will be updated at somepoint to reflect the new DSM 3.1?

[patters]

Probably not, because to test the steps I'd have to destroy all the data on my NAS to start from a completely untampered DSM 3.1.

What I'm suggesting isn't too tricky. Open that Zip file on your computer, extract the wget binary inside to somewhere on your NAS (like /volume1/public).
Then in PuTTY, type chmod +x /volume1/public/wget
Then try:
cp /volume1/public/wget /opt/bin
ipkg update

This is just in case they altered the wget binary between DSM 3.0 and DSM 3.1, which I think is pretty unlikely.
