Cross-compiling FFmpeg for Serviio with shared libraries on Synology NAS (Intel, ARMv5, ARMv7, and QorIQ CPUs)

Update 2 – Updated to allow build for ARMv7 CPU in Synology products using Armada370 SoC (currently the DS213j).

Update – I discovered that the cross-compiled ARMv5 build of FFmpeg cannot encode AC3 audio without severe artifacts. After a very long time spent recompiling with different options, trying static builds etc. I finally found that the Synology cross toolchain (GCC 4.2.1) appears to cause the problem. Compiling natively on a bootstrapped ARMv5 Synology system with GCC 4.2.3 produces a working binary. However, I had to spend a long time re-working the method, particularly since you can’t run automake to build libshine on the Synology due to a dependency on a threaded version of Perl, which is missing from the Optware repo, and in turn is very tricky to compile. I have appended the ARM shared build guide to the end of this post.

This method will build FFmpeg with portable shared libraries (linked with relative paths) using a Ubuntu Desktop 12 VM. The >10MB size of the static executable is kind of getting out of hand especially on embedded systems with very limited RAM. Using shared libs means many concurrent instances of FFmpeg can use broadly the same memory footprint, and package distribution binaries can be smaller – our target systems already have libmp3lame, libz, libssl, libcrypto, libfreetype, libexpat, and libpthread which add up to several megabytes. I’m also guessing that the OS will decide when to unload them from RAM which could help when FFmpeg is being launched repeatedly in a short period of time.

Although the unmodified source code will compile successfully for QorIQ CPUs, the FFmpeg binary will core dump when running any command on a video file. I contacted Synology Support for help with this issue. Their developers mentioned that they had needed to make numerous patches to the source of the version they used for DSM, and they guessed that the following one in particular was likely to be needed. This produced a working binary.

Here is a patch to add libshine as an additional encoder to FFmpeg 1.1.1 which is particularly useful on ARMv5 CPUs which lack an FPU (shine is an integer maths encoder).

Native compile for ARMv5 systems

Here is the method to natively compile FFmpeg with libshine and libass, with shared libraries rather than static. It transpires that the cross compiled build has a broken AC3 encoder which produces crackling and muffled audio streams. The guide assumes a bootstrapped NAS with the optware-devel tools installed. See my much earlier blog post for details of how to set that up, since there are some pitfalls. I haven’t run through and tested the whole sequence – I have assembled this from hundreds of lines of notes I made while working – but I’m publishing it here to help others, and to refer to in future when I need to build newer FFmpeg revisions for future Serviio releases.

Bliss album art manager package for Synology NAS

110 Replies

Bliss is a Java application written by Dan Gravell which can manage file names, tags and album art for your music collection and which can also enforce their consistency. It is designed to be left running once installed so that albums you add later will have these same policies applied to them automatically. It supports a wide range of music formats, and effortlessly deals with very large collections – apparently even ones containing quite obscure recordings. My own collection didn’t really put this to the test, since it doesn’t contain bootlegs, live sets or rarities plus I had also already obtained cover art for it (from back when CoverFlow first graced the screen of my iPhone 2G).

I could see from referrals to this blog that people were asking Dan for a Synology package which he didn’t have the time to investigate, and so I thought that it would make an interesting little project, especially since a NAS is the ideal device to run Bliss on. Although there was already a Howto post on the Synology forums, that guide only really covered getting the basic functionality of Bliss up and running – it was missing the best bits: the filesystem watching and audio fingerprinting features. These depend on natively compiled binaries, but Bliss doesn’t support running on ARM or PowerPC CPUs, and its Intel binaries don’t work on Synology either (the usual problem – glibc too old). Getting these working provided precisely the sort of challenge I like. Not only were they difficult to compile, but getting them integrated into the various OSGi ‘bundles’ that make up Bliss was quite involved too.

Bliss uses an open source library called Chromaprint, itself part of the wider Acoustid project. The aim is to scan an audio file, to produce a fingerprint of the sound, and then to compare this against an open online database such as MusicBrainz.org to identify music regardless of compression codec used. Its author Lukáš Lalinský explains how it works. It turns out that Chromaprint uses some complex maths functions that FFmpeg can provide (specifically Fourier Transform), and FFmpeg’s shared libraries are already included with Synology DSM. I was able to download the sources that were used to build DSM, which then allowed me to build Chromaprint linked to those existing libraries – resulting in a minuscule 84KB build of fpcalc, rather than the statically compiled ones for various OS and CPU architectures included with Bliss, which weigh in at several megabytes. I think I’m finally ‘getting’ what open source is all about, which is nice since that was my objective in experimenting with my NAS. To prevent fpcalc building and linking to its dynamic library libchromaprint.so and to get it to detect FFmpeg properly I had to carefully inspect the Makefiles to find the correct build syntax:
FFMPEG_DIR=/usr/local/i686-linux-gnu cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=NO .
FFMPEG_DIR is the base folder from which CMake will look for lib/libavcodec.so and include/libavcodec/avfft.h.

It’s a bit of a nuisance that on ARM you first have to compile CMake because it doesn’t exist on the Optware ipkg repository, but it was straightforward enough to build. To build the Intel binaries I cross-compiled on a Ubuntu Desktop 12 virtual machine using the Synology toolchain (see the Synology DSM 3rd party developer guide for details).

For watching the filesystem Bliss uses JNotify to hook into the Linux kernel’s inotify subsystem. Getting this compiled was tricky. It seems no one has reported successfully compiling it for an ARM CPU, and JNotify’s author Omry Yadan wasn’t aware of anyone doing this either. The problem is that compilation halts with these errors:

In file included from ../net_contentobjects_jnotify_linux_JNotify_linux.c:43:

/opt/include/asm/unistd.h:346:1: error: this is the location of the previous definition

By searching in a very generic way for a solution I found this post on stackoverflow.com which helped me to patch the header inotify-syscalls.h to get around the problem. Since there is no JDK for ARM embedded systems I included the headers from OpenJDK6 which I took from a Ubuntu VM.

Compiling on Intel also required a fix. I was getting the same error as featured in this post on the JNotify user forum on SourceForge.net:
expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘pid_t’

Despite some people’s apparent success simply rearranging the order of the includes in net_contentobjects_jnotify_linux_JNotify_linux.c this didn’t help me. I’m not sure quite how I stumbled upon it, but I found the solution staring at me on this page:
The size_t, ssize_t, uid_t, gid_t, off_t and pid_t types are defined as described in sys/types.h

I inserted an additional include in for sys/types.h and it compiled ok. It’s worth pointing out that, although all Intel Synology units are x86-64 architecture, the Oracle JRE for Embedded is x86 (32 bit), so I used the i686 toolchain. Synology DSM’s FFmpeg shared libraries are also 32 bit so my build of fpcalc needed to comply with this. Bliss nonetheless expects the binary to be called fpcalc_linux64 since Bliss is detecting the underlying Linux CPU architecture.

Once I had got past the obstacle of compiling the native code, I needed to liaise back and forth with Dan to understand how Bliss was dealing with its libraries and how I could replace the built-in versions. Originally this was quite a kludge but Dan has since abstracted out the native binaries into their own OSGI bundle fragments which makes things a lot easier, and should allow Bliss to survive an in-app update. The Synology package provides the following architecture-specific jar files (with corresponding edits to their manifest). Thank you to Dan for all the quick answers!

Package instructions

The package can be installed on an unmodified NAS – no hacking or bootstrapping is required. Only Marvell Kirkwood, Intel, and Freescale QorIQ PowerPC CPUs are supported, so please check which CPU your NAS has.

Firstly, in the DSM User control panel enable the User Home service.
Open the DSM Package Center. In Settings -> Package Sources add my package repository URL which is http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk
Install either one of my Java SE for Embedded Synology packages (Java 6 or Java 7). Only Marvell Kirkwood, Freescale QorIQ, or Intel CPUs are supported. Please read all the notes and instructions on that page carefully.
Install Bliss using DSM’s Package Center.
The rest is self-explanatory.

CrashPlan PROe Server package for Synology NAS

55 Replies

CrashPlan is a popular online backup solution, with most people using it to protect their data in the Cloud. However, by licensing CrashPlan PROe server you can be that Cloud and act as the storage provider for other client machines running CrashPlan PROe.

I was recently contracted to implement this on Synology hardware for North Bay Technologies, an IT services company in San Francisco. Instead of undertaking a careful manual install that would be difficult to maintain in future, I decided to go one better – to build a package which integrates properly with Synology DSM. I then back-merged most of the changes into the existing CrashPlan client package scripts so everything is as consistent as possible. It was agreed that I would also publish this to the community, so here it is!

CrashPlan-PROe-dashboard

I should stress at this point that although this package could technically install on Synology products with ARM or QorIQ processors, you should only use this on a model with an Intel CPU. Ideally you should equip it with more than 1GB of RAM too, because the application requires 1GB all for itself. The package repo will not advertise it to ARM systems, because they have far too little available RAM.

As with the CrashPlan client packages I have made, I have been careful to comply with Code 42 Software’s stipulation that no one redistributes their work.

CrashPlan-PROe-server-info

Installation

This package is for Intel CPUs only. It will work on an unmodified NAS, no hacking or bootstrapping required.
More than 1GB of RAM is recommended.
You will need to install my Java SE for Embedded package first. Read the instructions on that page carefully too.
In the User Control Panel in DSM, enable the User Homes service.
Purchase your Master License Key and licences (or obtain a trial key) from crashplan.com, download the PROe Server installer for Linux, and save in the public shared folder on your NAS. You should have created this folder when you installed the Java package.
Install the CrashPlan PROe server Synology package directly from Package Center in DSM. In Settings -> Package Sources add my package repository URL which is http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk.

Notes

The package expects the end user to have separately downloaded the CrashPlan PROe Server installer for Linux, and it presents them with the official EULA during installation.
For details of TCP ports used, to help you set up firewalling and/or port forwarding please consult the requirements document.
Once running, CrashPlan PROe server is configured by a web dashboard on https://yourNasIP:4285/console/ This link can be found in the package info screen in Package Center in Synology DSM when the package is running.
Full support documentation is available here.
The Package Center upgrade functionality allows you to move between my package versions without losing settings or data, but if you’re moving to a new CrashPlan PROe Server version you will need to do that manually via the admin web app, using the Linux downloads available from Code 42 Software. Before you apply a Code 42 update package, you should manually install the latest Synology package for the specific PROe Server version you’re currently runnning. This will ensure the update scripts are handled correctly. So for example if you’re upgrading from 3.2.1.2 to 3.3.0.2 you should manually install cpproeserver3.2.1.2-merged-017.spk over the top first. You can find up to date package versions for each PROe Server build here:
cpproeserver3.2.1.2-merged-0018.spk
cpproeserver3.3.0.2-merged-0018.spk
cpproeserver3.3.0.3-merged-0018.spk

The engine daemon script checks the amount of system RAM and scales the Java heap size appropriately (up to the default maximum of 1024MB). This can be overridden in a persistent way if you are backing up very large backup sets by editing /volume1/@appstore/cpproeserver/syno_package.vars.
As with my other syno packages, this user account password is randomized when it is created using a perl script called passgen (I followed the example of the Transmission package). DSM Package Center runs as the root user so my script starts the package using an su command. This means that you can change the password yourself and CrashPlan will still work.
The default location for saving backup data is set to /volume1/cpproeserver (where /volume1 is you primary storage volume) to eliminate the chance of them being destroyed accidentally by uninstalling the package.
The package supports upgrading to future versions while preserving the machine identity, logs, login details, and cache.
The log which is displayed in the package’s Log tab is actually the activity history. If you’re trying to troubleshoot an issue you may need to use an SSH session to inspect the more detailed log files which are stored in /volume1/cpproeserver/log
I’m not sure if it works for the PROe products, but I would really appreciate it if you could use this affiliate link when purchasing your licences (you may need to browse to the PROe section of the website using the links in the footer of that page). If this package saves you the several days worth of work I put into making it, please also consider donating using the PayPal button on the right hand side of the page. Thanks!

CrashPlan packages for Synology NAS

1,526 Replies

UPDATE – The instructions and notes on this page apply to all three versions of the package hosted on my repo: CrashPlan, CrashPlan PRO, and CrashPlan PROe.

CrashPlan is a popular online backup solution which supports continuous syncing. With this your NAS can become even more resilient – it could even get stolen or destroyed and you would still have your data. Whilst you can pay a small monthly charge for a storage allocation in the Cloud, one neat feature CrashPlan offers is for individuals to collaboratively backup their important data to each other – for free! You could install CrashPlan on your laptop and have it continuously protecting your documents to your NAS, even whilst away from home.

CrashPlan-client

CrashPlan is a Java application, and one that’s typically difficult to install on a NAS – therefore an obvious candidate for me to simplify into a package, given that I’ve made a few others. I tried and failed a few months ago, getting stuck at compiling the Jtux library for ARM CPUs (the Oracle Java for Embedded doesn’t come with any headers).

I noticed a few CrashPlan setup guides linking to my Java package, and decided to try again based on these: Kenneth Larsen’s blog post, the Vincesoft blog article for installing on ARM processor Iomega NAS units, and this handy PDF document which is a digest of all of them, complete with download links for the additional compiled ARM libraries. I used the PowerPC binaries Christophe had compiled on his chreggy.fr blog, so thanks go to him. I wanted make sure the package didn’t require the NAS to be bootstrapped, so I picked out the few generic binaries that were needed (bash, nice and cpio) directly from the Optware repo.

UPDATE – For version 3.2 I also had to identify and then figure out how to compile Tim Macinta’s fast MD5 library, to fix the supplied libmd5.so on ARM systems (CrashPlan only distributes libraries for x86). I’m documenting that process here in case more libs are required in future versions. I identified it from the error message in log/engine_error.log and by running objdump -x libmd5.so. I could see that the same Java_com_twmacinta_util_MD5_Transform_1native function mentioned in the error was present in the x86 lib but not in my compiled libmd5.so from W3C Libwww. I took the headers from an install of OpenJDK on a regular Ubuntu desktop. I then used the Linux x86 source from the download bundle on Tim’s website – the closest match – and compiled it directly on the syno using the command line from a comment in another version of that source:
gcc -O3 -shared -I/tmp/jdk_headers/include /tmp/fast-md5/src/lib/arch/linux_x86/MD5.c -o libmd5.so

Aside from the challenges of getting the library dependencies fixed for ARM and QorIQ PowerPC systems, there was also the matter of compliance – Code 42 Software’s EULA prohibits redistribution of their work. I had to make the syno package download CrashPlan for Linux (after the end user agrees their EULA), then I had to write my own script to extract this archive and mimic their installer, since their installer is interactive. It took a lot of slow testing, but I managed it!

CPPROe package info

My most recent package version introduces handling of the automatic updates which Code 42 sometimes publish to the clients. This has proved to be quite a challenge to get working as testing was very laborious. I can confirm that it worked with the update from CrashPlan PRO 3.2 to 3.2.1 , and from CrashPlan 3.2.1 to 3.4.1:

CrashPlan-update-repair

Installation

This package is for Marvell Kirkwood, Intel and Freescale QorIQ PowerPC CPUs only, so please check which CPU your NAS has. It will work on an unmodified NAS, no hacking or bootstrapping required. It won’t work on older PowerQUICC PowerPC models owing to difficulties getting Java working. It is possible to run CrashPlan on those, but it requires chroot-ing to a Debian install. Christophe from chreggy.fr has recently released packages to automate this.
In the User Control Panel in DSM, enable the User Homes service.
Install the package directly from Package Center in DSM. In Settings -> Package Sources add my package repository URL which is http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk.
You will need to install either one of my Java SE for Embedded packages first (Java 6 or 7). Read the instructions on that page carefully too.
If you previously installed CrashPlan manually using the Synology Wiki, you can find uninstall instructions here.

Notes

The package downloads the CrashPlan installer directly from Code 42 Software, following acceptance of their EULA. I am complying with their wish that no one redistributes it.
CrashPlan is installed in headless mode – backup engine only. This is configured by a desktop client, but operates independently of it.
The engine daemon script checks the amount of system RAM and scales the Java heap size appropriately (up to the default maximum of 512MB). This can be overridden in a persistent way if you are backing up very large backup sets by editing /volume1/@appstore/CrashPlan/syno_package.vars. If you’re considering buying a NAS purely to use CrashPlan and intend to back up more than a few hundred GB then I strongly advise buying one of the Intel models which come with 1GB RAM and can be upgraded to 3GB very cheaply. RAM is very limited on the ARM ones. 128MB RAM on the J series means CrashPlan is running with only one fifth of the recommended heap size, so I doubt it’s viable for backing up very much at all. My DS111 has 256MB of RAM and currently backs up around 60GB with no issues. I have found that a 512MB heap was insufficient to back up more than 2TB of files on a Windows server. It kept restarting the backup engine every few minutes until I increased the heap to 1024MB.
As with my other syno packages, the daemon user account password is randomized when it is created using the openssl binary. DSM Package Center runs as the root user so my script starts the package using an su command. This means that you can change the password yourself and CrashPlan will still work.
The default location for saving friends’ backups is set to /volume1/crashplan/backupArchives (where /volume1 is you primary storage volume) to eliminate the chance of them being destroyed accidentally by uninstalling the package.
The first time you run the server you will need to stop it and restart it before you can connect the client. This is because a config file that’s only created on first run needs to be edited by one of my scripts. The engine is then configured to listen on all interfaces on the default port 4243.
Once the engine is running, you can manage it by installing CrashPlan on another computer, and editing the file conf/ui.properties on that computer so that this line:
#serviceHost=127.0.0.1
is uncommented (by removing the hash symbol) and set to the IP address of your NAS, e.g.:
serviceHost=192.168.1.210
On Windows you can also disable the CrashPlan service if you will only use the client.
If you need to manage CrashPlan from a remote location, I suggest you do so using SSH tunnelling as per this support document.
The package supports upgrading to future versions while preserving the machine identity, logs, login details, and cache. Upgrades can now take place without requiring a login from the client afterwards.
If you remove the package completely and re-install it later, you can re-attach to previous backups. When you log in to the Desktop Client with your existing account after a re-install, you can select “adopt computer” to merge the records, and preserve your existing backups. I haven’t tested whether this also re-attaches links to friends’ CrashPlan computers and backup sets, though the latter does seem possible in the Friends section of the GUI. It’s probably a good idea to test that this survives a package reinstall before you start relying on it. Sometimes, particularly with CrashPlan PRO I think, the adopt option is not offered. In this case you can log into CrashPlan Central and retrieve your computer’s GUID. On the CrashPlan client, double-click on the logo in the top right and you’ll enter a command line mode. You can use the GUID command to change the system’s GUID to the one you just retrieved from your account.
The log which is displayed in the package’s Log tab is actually the activity history. If you’re trying to troubleshoot an issue you will need to use an SSH session to inspect the two engine log files which are:
/volume1/@appstore/CrashPlan/log/engine_output.log
/volume1/@appstore/CrashPlan/log/engine_error.log
When CrashPlan downloads and attempts to run an automatic update, the script will most likely fail and stop the package. This is typically caused by syntax differences with the Synology versions of certain Linux shell commands (like rm, mv, or ps). You will need to wait several minutes in the event of this happening before you take action, because the update script tries to restart CrashPlan 10 times at 10 second intervals. After this, you simply start the package again in Package Center and my scripts will fix the update, then run it. One final package restart is required before you can connect with the CrashPlan Desktop client (remember to update that too).
After their backup is seeded some users may wish to schedule the CrashPlan engine using cron so that it only runs at certain times. This is particularly useful on ARM systems because CrashPlan currently prevents hibernation while it is running (unresolved issue, reported to Code 42). To schedule, edit /etc/crontab and add the following entries for starting and stopping CrashPlan:
55 2 * * * root /var/packages/CrashPlan/scripts/start-stop-status start 0 4 * * * root /var/packages/CrashPlan/scripts/start-stop-status stop
This example would configure CrashPlan to run daily between 02:55 and 04:00am. CrashPlan by default will scan the whole backup selection for changes at 3:00am so this is ideal. The simplest way to edit crontab if you’re not really confident with Linux is to install Merty’s Config File Editor package, which requires the official Synology Perl package to be installed too (since DSM 4.2). After editing crontab you will need to restart the cron daemon for the changes to take effect:
/usr/syno/etc.defaults/rc.d/S04crond.sh stop /usr/syno/etc.defaults/rc.d/S04crond.sh start
It is vitally important that you do not improvise your own startup commands or use a different account because this will most likely break the permissions on the config files, causing additional problems. The package scripts are designed to be run as root, and they will in turn invoke the CrashPlan engine using its own dedicated user account.
If you update DSM later, you will need to re-install the Java package or else UTF-8 and locale support will be broken by the update.

001 intial public release

Serviio 1.2.1 package for Synology NAS

Serviio 1.2 in DSM Package Center

Many people are using the Synology packages I created for Serviio and Java, and most of them will have installed from my package repository making the upgrade possible with just one click.

This new version updates Serviio to version 1.2.1 (release notes here). Renderers that do not natively support subtitles via DLNA can have them burned into the video during transcoding, but in general a NAS lacks the CPU power to do this. Please comment if this works nicely on the Intel models, but ARM and QorIQ are confirmed to be too slow. I was able to compile FFmpeg 1.1.1 for all three supported architectures with libass support (and dependent libraries) while using the libs included within DSM as far as possible. The package downloads the free DejaVu font family from SourceForge during installation, since DSM does not include any fonts. If you absolutely need subs for a particular film, you could start playback then stop it and Serviio will continue transcoding. Then you will be able to try again in a few hours since it will play from the transcode cache.

As with version 1.1 of the package, there is no Web UI included so I recommend that you manage Serviio using Serviio Console installed on another computer. Integrating a Web UI into the package can be tricky because they do introduce problems of their own (bugs, browser incompatibilities), their development tends to lag behind the Serviio releases which can significantly delay my releases, and this also means I have to re-package as they get updated. Maintaining the CSS was also a lot of work. For the relatively small benefit the WebUI brings, it doesn’t really justify the effort. It only takes a few minutes to set up a remote console.

Instructions

The package can be installed on an unmodified NAS – no hacking is required.

Firstly, in the DSM User control panel enable the User Home service.
Open the DSM Package Center. In Settings -> Package Sources add my package repository URL which is http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk
Install either one of my Java SE for Embedded Synology packages (Java 6 or Java 7). Only Marvell Kirkwood, Intel, and Freescale QorIQ PowerPC CPUs are supported, so please check which CPU your NAS has.
Install Serviio using DSM’s Package Center.
Download any Serviio online content plugins that you require and leave the .groovy files in your NAS’s /volume1/public/serviio/plugins folder (where /volume1 is you primary storage volume). This folder is created automatically by the package installer.
Download and install Serviio on another computer (selecting only the Console when prompted) and configure it to connect to your NAS:
For Mac OS find Serviio-Console, right-click, then Show Package Contents. Use TextEdit to open Contents/info.plist and add this towards the end of the file after the last key and string entries (Properties section):
<key>serviio.remoteHost</key> <string>192.168.1.100</string>
..replacing that IP with the IP of your NAS obviously. Then save, navigate back the Serviio folder and launch Serviio-Console again.
On Windows, use Notepad to open ServiioConsole.exe.vmoptions (in the Serviio/bin folder) and add the line:
-Dserviio.remoteHost=192.168.1.100
On a Linux client, add this same parameter to the JAVA_OPTS in Serviio/bin/serviio-console.sh
Do not make this change on the NAS – only on the computer that runs the console.
Since this console binding uses a static address you should reserve this particular IP address for your NAS (most home broadband routers will let you do this in the DHCP options), or use a static IP address. This will also prevent Serviio appearing multiple times in the menus of your renderer devices.
Once the remote console is connected be aware that everything it indicates relates to the NAS, *not* to the Serviio installation on your computer.

Notes

In the console disable ‘Generate thumbnails for local videos’ in the Metadata tab. Failure to do this will make adding videos to your library very slow. With this disabled Serviio will still fetch thumbnail images automatically from the online databases.
Don’t alter the transcoded files location on the Transcoding tab, it’s already set to a sensible location. This particular folder is deleted each time your NAS restarts, and Serviio cleans up its temp files automatically in any case.
When adding folders to the media library use the Add Path button (not Add Local). You will need to specify the folder path in the NAS’s Linux notation, for example /volume1/public/videos
Don’t forget to use the Users control panel in DSM to grant permission for the Serviio user to read your files (if they’re not in the public share).
When closing the Console, notice that ‘Exit Serviio’ quits the Console and also stops Serviio running on the NAS. To only quit the Console, be sure to select ‘Exit Serviio Console’ instead.
The package will allow future upgrades while preserving the media database, as long as Serviio itself is ok with that (0.6.2 to 1.0 is fine – settings are retained but the media database is rebuilt automatically, which can take a while depending on its size).
If you’re upgrading from a previous Serviio version you should update your online content plugins.
You can see Serviio’s log by clicking More in the Package Center.
The URL of the MediaBrowser is also displayed there (http://IPofYourNAS:23424/mediabrowser). If you want to use the MediaBrowser from a remote location you would need to either port forward 23424 on your router, or use SSH tunnelling. You can also manage Serviio remotely by SSH tunnelling port 23423 which the console uses.
If you have upgraded your DSM version and have lost unicode character support in Serviio, you will need to remove and reinstall the Java package which will fix the system locale support (DSM updates break this unfortunately).
Package Center installs the application to /volume1/@appstore/Serviio though from what I understand, on multi-volume systems the user is prompted for a destination volume. If you need to edit device profiles or enable debug logging then that’s where you’ll find the files. You will need to use an SSH session to access this folder – it’s not browsable in DSM’s File Station. The simplest way to edit these files if you’re not really confident with Linux is to install Merty’s Config File Editor package, which requires the official Synology Perl package to be installed too (since DSM 4.2). Load Config File Editor, then in the dropdown menu edit Config File Editor’s own config (it’s the last in the list) and add the lines:
/volume1/@appstore/Serviio/config/profiles.xml,Serviio-profiles /volume1/@appstore/Serviio/config/log4j.xml,Serviio-logging
Make sure to add an extra blank line underneath, save, then relaunch CFE and you’ll have an entry for Serviio in the dropdown. You’ll need to restart the Serviio package for any changes to take effect.
Bear in mind that a NAS, even an Intel Atom powered one, is unlikely to have sufficient CPU power to manage realtime video transcoding (e.g. from DivX to MPEG2), though it will manage remuxing MKV to M2TS and realtime audio transcoding. If you have a DLNA renderer with good format support then this isn’t an issue.
Unfortunately for this same reason the MediaBrowser is probably of limited value if you run Serviio on a NAS, since it uses realtime video transcoding, but I have nonetheless taken several steps to mitigate this. I have modified the FlowPlayer application profile to play AAC audio natively (you will only get the L+R channels from a multichannel file), and I have been able to integrate the integer maths libshine MP3 encoder into my build of FFmpeg for ARM CPUs, which allows you to listen to FLAC music transcoded to MP3 in realtime (useful for wifi music players for instance). I used a wrapper script to force libshine’s encoding bitrate to 320Kbps at all times since it didn’t increase the load, and it hides this simple encoder’s slight lack of quality. Source code for libshine is available here.
I have left the FFmpeg wrapper script in the package even when not in use (in the Serviio/bin folder), because it’s still useful for people trying to test a particular workaround or encoder setting. The wrapper was a really tricky script to get working due to variable expansion precedence issues and quote handling. If you need it, just change the ffmpeg.location system property in /volume1/@appstore/Serviio/bin/serviio.sh (changing the location to /volume1/@appstore/Serviio/bin/ffmpeg-wrapper.sh).

1.0-010 updated to Serviio 1.0, removed WebUI, FFmpeg wrapper no longer needed on ARM, plugins folder moved to /volume1/public/serviio/plugins to make adding/updating plugins easier
0.6.2-009 installation fails unless User Home service is enabled, unified the installer scripts, merged ARM and Intel packages into one which downloads the FFmpeg binary separately, used integer maths Dolby AC-3 encoder on ARM systems (no floating point)
0.6.2-008 fixed DST timezone support, installer no longer assumes /volume1 is primary storage volume
0.6.2-007 updated Serviio to 0.6.2, kairoh’s WebUI to 0.6.2c, changed package to download Serviio from the official website during installation, temp path is set by default to /volume1/@tmp on first run, and finally some CSS improvements
0.6.1-006 switched to kairoh’s Java WebUI, added timezone support, removed DSM icon when Serviio is not running, adjusted Java max heap size for systems with low RAM, specified FFmpeg path directly rather than creating a symlink in /bin so as not to interfere with other packages which may use different versions of FFmpeg
0.6.0.1-005 added Web Station dependency, EULA dialog, and links for Web UI and user forum in More Info
0.6.0.1-004 test for package repo to allow update notification
0.6.0.1 v3 hopefully fixed an issue with the Serviio DSM icon in DSM 3.2 on NAS units without Optware installed

0.6b3c v1 initial spk test release

Minecraft package for Synology NAS

406 Replies

UPDATE – The instructions and notes on this page apply to both the Minecraft and the CraftBukkit packages hosted on my repo. Now works on QorIQ CPU Synology models!

Minecraft is an intriguing game. I only recently bought it after a friend had recommended it. There’s a lot to like: the striking retro visual style, the mellow sporadic music, exploring the procedurally generated world, the logical way items are crafted, multiplayer collaboration, and emergent gameplay. Notch its creator certainly deserves the fortune he’s now sitting on. I thoroughly recommend you watch this short documentary all about it.

Minecraft Package Info

Right after I released the Java package for Synology a couple of people mentioned that they wanted to use it for installing a Minecraft server. Now that I have the game, I decided to try that too. I had assumed that the ARM CPUs would not be capable of running it, and the first tests seemed to confirm this. I decided it would be worth creating a package nonetheless since the Intel CPU NAS units would be ok, especially with their extra RAM. However, with a little performance tuning it actually runs acceptably (no lag when mining blocks) on my ARM powered DS111 which only has 256MB. The CPU load is 100% for a while at first, but soon after playing it settles down to around 60%. I have briefly tested with two players connected and after a bit of lag at first (one second delay to mine a block) it does seem to settle down.

Minecraft running showing draw distance and server load

Minecraft showing draw distance and server load running on a Synology DS111

Installation

This package is not CPU specific. If you have Java it will run. At the moment that means ARM, Intel and QorIQ PowerPC processors, but not the older PowerPCs.
In the User Control Panel in DSM, enable the User Homes service.
Install the package directly from Package Center in DSM. In Settings -> Package Sources add my package repository URL which is http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk. You will need to install either one of my Java SE for Embedded packages first (Java 6 or 7).

Notes

The package fetches the minecraft server jar file from Mojang as it is installed. I am complying with their wish that no one redistributes it.
The server daemon script checks the amount of system RAM and scales the Java heap size appropriately. It also applies a few performance tweaks to Java to try to reduce garbage collection latency.
The first time you run the server it will create a new world, which can take a few minutes. You cannot interrupt this but you can check on progress by repeatedly viewing the Log tab.
Because the time investments in playing Minecraft can be so considerable, when you uninstall the package it will back up the world folder and settings to /volume1/public/minecraftworld.todaysdate.bak to prevent accidental deletion.
The package supports upgrades to future versions while preserving the world folder and server settings.
If you want to transplant an existing world folder into the server, copy it to /volume1/@appstore/Minecraft. You will also need to run chown -R minecraft /volume1/@appstore/Minecraft to grant ownership of the files to the daemon user.
The first time you run the package, the server config file /volume1/@appstore/Minecraft/server.properties is generated. The next time it is launched, my script reduces the default draw distance for ARM CPUs from 10 chunks to 7. This was appropriate for my DS111 to prevent latency when mining blocks, but you may wish to reduce this further on the J series NAS units which have less RAM and slower CPUs. Other server files (white-list.txt etc.) are found in the same folder. For CraftBukkit the files are in the folder /volume1/@appstore/Craftbukkit/server.properties (note the capitalization – the CraftBukkit project seemed to change this after I had already created the package with a lower case ‘b’).
The simplest way to edit these config files if you’re not really confident with Linux is to install Merty’s Config File Editor package, which requires the official Synology Perl package to be installed too (since DSM 4.2). Load Config File Editor, then in the dropdown menu edit Config File Editor’s own config (it’s the last in the list) and add the lines:
/volume1/@appstore/Minecraft/server.properties,Minecraft-properties /volume1/@appstore/Minecraft/white-list.txt,Minecraft-whitelist /volume1/@appstore/Minecraft/ops.txt,Minecraft-ops
Make sure to add an extra blank line underneath, save, then relaunch CFE and you’ll have entries for Minecraft in the dropdown. You’ll need to restart the Minecraft package for any changes to take effect.
It was a bit tricky to get the server to shut down gracefully without just killing the Java process. We need it to shutdown properly so it saves the active chunks to disk first. Most of the guides on the Net use the screen binary which isn’t included with Synology DSM, and I didn’t want to have to make a version of the package for each CPU architecture. I found that I could use tail to send the last line of the file /tmp/stdin.minecraft to the server (stdin.craftbukkit for the CraftBukkit package). This is how the stop command is issued. You could send your own commands, for instance echo say Hello players >> /tmp/stdin.minecraft. You can verify that the command was received by looking at the server log in Package Center.
The server runs on the default TCP port for Minecraft (25565) so you will need to port forward this on your router if you want it to be publicly accessible.

Package scripts

For information, here are the package scripts so you can see what it’s going to do. You can get more information about how packages work by reading the Synology Package wiki.

OpenRemote package for Synology NAS

86 Replies

Since creating the Synology packages for Java I have noticed that they are being referred to by some diverse projects, and one that caught my eye was OpenRemote. Since a NAS is a low power always-on system, it’s a perfect candidate to run home automation control software. As you would expect, the project’s strapline summarizes its intent nicely:

Choose Any Hardware. Design On Any Panel. Deploy On Any Platform. Control Everything.
The Open Source Way.

OpenRemoteFullscreen

Download

On DSM 3.2 or later, you can install directly from Package Center. In Settings -> Package Sources add my package repository URL which is http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk

Instructions

This package can be installed on an unmodified NAS – no hacking is required. It has been tested on DSM 3.2, and 4.0. Here’s what you need to do:

In the DSM User control panel enable the User Home service
Using the DSM Package Center install my Java SE for Embedded Synology package for your CPU type
Install the OpenRemote Synology package
Give it a few seconds to start, then you can use the OpenRemote icons in the DSM drop down menu in the top-left. These new icons will only be visible to admin users in DSM
Finally, you will need to update the webapp.port value in OpenRemote Designer to 18581 like so:

OpenRemote saves your designs in the cloud with your online account, and the controller syncs with those designs. You can see the controller’s underlying Catalina log by clicking More Info in the Package Center. DSM Package Center installs the application to /volume1/@appstore/OpenRemote though from what I understand, on multi-volume systems the user is prompted for a destination volume. If you need to edit config files, or look at other logs in detail via SSH – that’s where you’ll find them.

Package scripts

For info, here are the scripts inside the package. The security-conscious among you can untar the package and take a look at the contents for yourself.

Compiling nano with UTF-8 support for Synology

2 Replies

The version of nano in Optware doesn’t have UTF-8 support for some reason. This took me ages to get working – hopefully it’ll help someone else.
I have made a compiled binary for Marvell Kirkwood CPU available here.

These are the steps taken to compile your own from source (you will need to have bootstrapped your NAS and have the development tools installed):

#-----compile ncurses static library - neither DSM nor ipkg provide headers
cd /volume1/@tmp
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-5.9.tar.gz
tar xvfz ncurses-5.9.tar.gz
cd ncurses-5.9
./configure --prefix=/opt --enable-widec
make
mkdir /tmp/lib
cp lib/libncursesw.a /tmp/lib
cd ..
#-----compile nano
wget http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.2/nano-2.2.6.tar.gz
tar xvfz nano-2.2.6.tar.gz
cd nano-2.2.6
./configure --prefix=/opt --includedir=/volume1/@tmp/ncurses-5.9/include --libdir=/tmp/lib --enable-utf8 --disable-nls --enable-color --enable-extra --enable-multibuffer --enable-nanorc

Cross-compiling FFmpeg with librtmp for Intel CPU Synology NAS

12 Replies

I used this method to compile the FFmpeg binary for inclusion in my Serviio package, because I don’t have a NAS with an Intel CPU. Several people who tried to help were getting strange errors while trying to compile on their NAS units.

To begin, install 64bit Ubuntu Linux (I used a VM). As a test I first successfully cross-compiled ARM binaries using the same method but using the ARM Synology toolchain, since I was able to test the results. Once I got it working I did the following:

#-----set up Synology toolchain
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/files/DSM%203.1%20Tool%20Chains/Intel%20x86%20Linux%202.6.32/gcc420_glibc236_pineview.tgz
tar xvfz gcc420_glibc236_pineview.tgz
sudo mv i686-linux-gnu /usr/local
sudo mv x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/local
#-----I think the Synology toolchain is anticipating being run on i686-linux-gnu, so we need 32bit libraries to even run the binaries
#-----http://maketecheasier.com/run-32-bit-apps-in-64-bit-linux/2009/08/10
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
export PATH="/usr/local/x86_64-linux-gnu/bin:${PATH}"
