Update – Serviio version 2.0 is a new major version, so existing Serviio 1.x licences will not unlock the Pro features without a fresh licence purchase. If you wish to downgrade back to version 1.10.1 you may manually install the older package (merged architectures, or evansport) but your media library will need to be rebuilt.
Running the Serviio DLNA server on a NAS is a very efficient solution. It allows all your media to be constantly available to all your devices, all without the need for a dedicated media PC. Most TV and Bluray players are already capable media renderers – so indexing the library, retrieving metadata, and streaming the content are where Serviio fits in. Device support is continually improved by a community of contributors, and this crowd-sourced aspect was what initially drew me to the project, leading me to create the Sony Bluray device profile back in 2010. Serviio can also connect to online sources of content such as catch-up TV portals and allow fuss free content playback without advertising, even on devices which lack native support. These online plugins are also community maintained.
This new version of the Synology package updates Serviio to version 2.0 which fixes some issues and introduces multiple user support (release notes). Version 1.10 improved MediaBrowser, and also 4K media support. Version 1.9 replaced the Flash Player dependency in MediaBrowser with an HTML5 player. Serviio 1.7 brought audio track selection preferences, and automatic subtitle downloading. The most significant enhancement from version 1.6 onwards is the new web management console which removes the need to install the separate Serviio Console application on a computer. The web console uses a modern adaptive design which works well on mobile devices, and it is now integrated with DSM so you will see its icon in the application menu when the package is running:
The package supports hardware transcoding on the DS214play and DS415play with Intel Evansport media processor. This support required substantial personal effort and was made possible by the very kind donation of a new DS214play unit from MrK/Boretom a fellow package maintainer for ASUStor devices.
Limitations
If you use a TV, Bluray or media player bought in the last few years it is likely to have very good format support. In this case even a low specification NAS will be adequate for streaming most video content. There are some limitations however, in particular with video transcoding.
Serviio’s MediaBrowser is a Pro version only feature, and is designed to allow direct playback of media on tablet devices without the need for dedicated apps. Please note that Apple iOS devices require video in H.264 and audio in stereo AAC format when streaming. With the exception of the “play” models already mentioned, most Synology NAS models lack the CPU power to transcode video into H.264 in realtime. Even if the source video is already H.264, ARMv5 family CPUs (which lack an FPU) in the older models lack the power even to transcode AAC audio in realtime without libfdk_aac. Unfortunately I am unable to distribute an FFmpeg binary compiled against this library under the terms of its software license.
Ever since Serviio version 1.2 renderers that do not natively support subtitles via DLNA can have them burned into the video during transcoding, but as already explained a NAS usually lacks the CPU power to do this (more info on subs here). If you absolutely need hard subs for a particular film, you could start playback on your device 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 folder. Newer TVs tend to support inline SRT subs, but for those with older models I can recommend the PlayStation 4 Media Player as a competent DLNA renderer with inline subs support.
I was able to compile FFmpeg for all eight supported architectures (ARMv5, ARMv7, ARMv7 with NEON, ARMv8, Intel i686, Intel x64, Intel Evansport media processor, and PowerPC e500v2) with the additional libraries Serviio requires while using the libs included within DSM as far as possible. I have published my compilation methods to make the process easier for others in future since parts of it were difficult to figure out. Only the Intel CPU or higher end ARM CPUs are likely to be of any practical use transcoding to H.264, since the other CPU types lack vector units (no AltiVec in QorIQ/PowerQUICC, and no NEON in Armada 370/XP).
Synology Package Installation
- In Synology DSM’s Package Center, click Settings and add my package repository:
- The repository will push its certificate automatically to the NAS, which is used to validate package integrity. Set the Trust Level to Synology Inc. and trusted publishers:
- Serviio now requires Java 8 for OS-native filesystem watching, so you will need to install my Java SE Embedded package first if you have not already done so. Read the instructions on that page carefully too.
- Now browse the Community section in Package Center to install Serviio:
Community packages are not listed in the All category for some reason. The repository only displays packages which are compatible with your specific model of NAS. If you don’t see Serviio in the list, then either your NAS model or your DSM version are not supported at this time. DSM 6.0 is the minimum supported version for this package. - When Serviio is started for the first time, a plugins folder will be created in the public shared folder (usually /volume1/public/serviio/plugins/). Download any Serviio online content plugins that you require and place the .groovy files in that location.
- If you need subtitle support for glyphs not present in the default DejaVu fonts, add additional fonts to the following folder inside your NAS’s public shared folder (usually /volume1/public/serviio/fonts/).
Notes
- You should reserve an 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 prevent Serviio from appearing multiple times in the menus of your renderer devices as its IP changes.
- In the console disable ‘Generate thumbnails for local videos’ in the Metadata tab. Failure to do this can make adding videos to your library very slow on older NAS systems. 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 for Synology systems. 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 Browse button. This will show the root of the entire NAS Linux filesystem, so you will find your DSM shared folders inside /volume1.
- If you’re upgrading from a previous Serviio version you should check for updates of your online content plugins.
- MediaBrowser (Pro only feature) can be opened using the link in the side bar of the web console (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. Both of these service definitions are added to the DSM Firewall.
- Advanced users who wish to edit device profiles or enable debug logging can find the Serviio files in /var/packages/Serviio/target. You will need to use an SSH session to access this folder – it cannot be navigated to using DSM’s File Station. You will need to restart the Serviio package for profile changes to take effect.
- Some users may wish to restrict running Serviio to specific times of day in order to free up RAM for a scheduled backup window for instance. This can be achieved by creating tasks to start and stop Serviio using the Task Scheduler in DSM Control Panel:
- The package uses an FFmpeg wrapper script to modify the usual transcoding behaviour of Serviio to use the Intel Evansport hardware decoding and encoding available in the DS214play and DS415play models. I have left the FFmpeg wrapper scripts in the package even when not in use (in the Serviio/bin folder), because they are still useful for people trying to test a particular workaround or encoder setting. The wrapper was a 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 /var/packages/Serviio/target/bin/serviio.sh to point to your modified wrapper script.
- If additional fonts are not working as expected, some troubleshooting is available. You can re-create the fontconfig cache by connecting to the NAS via an SSH session as admin, and then running:
sudo -i
(enter admin password to become root)
rm -rf ~/.fontconfig.cache
FC_DEBUG=128 /var/packages/Serviio/target/bin/fc-cache --verbose
Hardware transcoding support
- DS214play and DS415play with Intel Evansport SoC are the only models supported for hardware transcoding. Serviio uses the multimedia tool FFmpeg for manipulating media files, and I am only able to build a hardware-assisted FFmpeg for DS214play and DS215play. Subsequent to those products, Synology has marketed a number of other systems with hardware transcoding features but these are not supported by Serviio.
The DS216play with STiH412 Monaco SoC uses a specialised build of Gstreamer for the Synology transcoding solution rather than FFmpeg, so its hardware features cannot be used by Serviio.
It seems likely that Synology is also using Gstreamer for the Intel Braswell or newer generation CPUs with QuikSync, since DSM ships with an older FFmpeg (2.7.1) than the version which introduced QuikSync support (2.8.0). To implement FFmpeg QuikSync hardware transcoding support requires Linux kernel patches for libmfx support which is not currently included in DSM 6.x, so Serviio support for Intel QuikSync on Synology is unlikely unless Synology in future switches to using FFmpeg for its own hardware transcoding solution.
The DS218play with Realtek RTD1296 SoC uses Gstreamer with OpenMAX drivers for the Synology transcoding solution. Although I was able to compile the ARMv8 build of FFmpeg with libomx support, unfortunately the Belaggio OpenMAX IL will not register these Realtek drivers which are distributed in the VideoStation package, therefore the hardware transcoding features of this model cannot be used by Serviio. - For the supported systems FFmpeg will use hardware decoding wherever possible.
- Although multiple hardware assisted decodes can take place simultaneously, only a single hardware encode is available. The package intelligently avoids race conditions for this.
- Any FFmpeg commandline to encode using libx264 will automatically be sent to the hardware encoder when available.
- profiles.xml has been modified so that the preferred transcode format for most devices for non-natively supported videos is H.264.
- In order to add hardware H.264 encoding to a device profile, specify h264 as the desired codec and the FFmpeg wrapper script will make the necessary substitution automatically.
- When the hardware encoder is used, the low quality settings in Serviio’s default libx264 options to favour encoding speed are ignored. The hardware encoder performance is not altered by quality settings.
- If a media stream is being both hardware decoded and hardware encoded, it will use pipelined mode. Based on responses from Synology support during development this means that both jobs occur on the media processor without exposing the intermediate bitstream to FFmpeg. Consequently it is not possible to burn subtitles in pipelined mode. As a result my FFmpeg wrapper script will run the decode part of the job in software in order to do this. The unfortunate result is that the encoder cannot quite achieve real time transcoding during subtitle compositing. For full 1080p HD material it achieves around 20fps, whereas most movies are 24fps. This means that in order to watch a film with hard subs you would need to start it off, pause or stop the renderer and return a bit later to view. An alternative would be to mux the content into an MKV container with the desired subtitles before adding it to the Serviio library, assuming that your device supports SRTs in MKV.
- The hardware encoded H.264 streams are not 100% compliant with the specification and fail validation using the tool DGAVCDec. For most tested renderers this does not affect playback (Bravia, Sony Bluray, iOS). FlowPlayer which had been the embedded player in MediaBrowser did not play these files satisfactorily and dropped many frames resulting in jerky playback. However since Serviio version 1.9 MediaBrowser uses an HTML5 player which is not affected by this issue.

befor
i used media server for synology {{{{{{{{ not showing external srt and plex not showing external srt only format to UTF-8
but now not need any think
thank you very match
Hi
I have made a fresh Install on my Synology DS412+ on DSM 4.3 and now I have a permission Problem. Serviio cannot read the Music Folder. When I give the right Permission on the File Station at least I receive this Error Message: The system has adapted to avoid some rights to access conflicts.
I see always the Warn Event on the Logfile LiberyAdditionsCheckerThread Folder is not readable.
Please help
Thanks in advantage
Hi patters,
just FYI: in your scripts, you could bypass creating the test user for the User home service by using the synoservice binary. Moreover, you can automatically enable the User home service with a code like
uh_service=”$(synoservice –list running | grep userhome)”
if [ -z “$uh_service” ]; then
synoservice –enable userhome
fi
Best regards,
winxi
Patters,
Many thanks over the last many months for java, crashplan and servo.
Now that Glacier and media server are half decent I’m using those instead but just wanted to show my appreciation for your work
Is having the console in the computer is absolutely necessary? Can it not be setup standalone on the NAS?
Thanks for the tutorial btw.
Hi Patters,
First thanks for all the great work on Serviio!
I have been using 1.0.2 on my DS211j (running DSM 3.2) for some time with no real issues. I have just updated my DS211j to DSM 4.2 (via DSM 4.0 as required) and installed 1.2.1 and I am having real trouble!
My TV (Sony KDL32W5810 – Sony 2009 profile) sees Serviio on the Diskstation, and I can navigate my media files, but as soon as I try and play one the TV says that the server is temporarily unavailable. When I go back to the Synology box and try to log in using the DSM Web UI it will not allow me to log in, and complains that the disk is full (it isn’t!).
Once you reboot the DS211j I can access the Serviio log, I can see after the DS211j boots there are a couple of RendererManager messages, then a ProcessExecutor message saying that ffmpeg-wrapper.sh has a return code of 1 and is a possible error, followed by 4 lines of output from ffmpeg with frame # etc, followed by a line that says “av_interleaved_write_frame(): No space left on device”. This is followed by a couple of lines saying that FFmpeg execution has failed, so I am stuck!
If you want more detail I can send the log – unfortunately as a jpg of the screen capture from the DSM Web UI.
Thanks!
Make sure you didn’t change the temporary file location in the Serviio Console. (/tmp on a Synology is too small – the package will automatically try to use /volume1/@tmp). Make sure your media is somewhere that is on your hard drive and not in the system partition (e.g. a folder down the tree from /volume1).
Hi Patters,
Thanks for the response. The temporary file location had set itself to /tmp, so I changed it to /volume1/@tmp and things have improved, but I think there is still an issue. I pulled the latest log (have now figured out how to get ssh access!) and there are the following four lines in it:
INFO [PluginCompilerThread] Looking for plugins at /volumeUSB1/public/serviio/plugins
INFO [UpdateChecker] Checking if a new version is available
WARN [PluginCompilerThread] Plugins folder ‘/volumeUSB1/public/serviio/plugins’ does not exist. No plugins will be compiled.
ERROR [MediaServer] FFMPEG not found. Serviio will not work properly.
I have used a USB drive connected to the Synology. I don’t remember but it is possible it was connected when I installed Serviio, but it isn’t now. Should I remove it, then uninstall and re-install Serviio?
Media is under /volume1/video and /volume1/music
Thanks
Probably best if you reinstall the package. You can trick it into performing an upgrade (to preserve your media database) by editing the version number in the file /var/packages/Serviio/INFO to a lower number, then refreshing Package Center.
To edit the INFO file, use vi – this is quite tricky to understand at first:

No sounds when it renders all vidoes at least so it feels…
Hello all, been using this package a while and at one point (1.2 i think or when subtitles arrived) i started having issue on my 412+ runnning DSM 4.2-3202 currently. I’ve tried to deinstall and resinstall without any luck.
In essence as soon as i turn on transcoding videos that normally does not play works picture wise but there is NO sound. Also when I FF I get a distorded image (which I think is normal and the time does not move, so when I FF 10 minutes into it, it does that from 0 minutes).
Main problem no sound, tried seetings like produce best quality, downmix to stero as well as keep original. Neither provided any sound. This is on a Samung B650 TV over LAN. Also removed the subtitle option with no luck (never gotten it to include subtitles though, I can get it to show some while FF but they dont update are become static so to speak till next FF).
Anyway sound is my main issue, no expert at all on Linux, so any suggestions on what this might be would be greatly appreciated with instructions for dummies (like myself).
Thanks in advance, would love to have sounds again.
Any clue on this one Patters, still helplessly lost sice 2-3 months with this issue (that was not there before, not sure what else I can post/do that can help somone solve this with me)
Pingback: Installing Subsonic on a DS-412+ ← A digital life
Hello,
Dear Patters,
I’ve read all the comments here and lots of threads on the net about seeing video files through serviio on my DS213j, but I haven’t found answer to my problem.
Ofcourse I’ve make my video folders accesible for serviio, my path are correct, becouse serviio finds it (/volume1/movies, /volume1/series) but when I’m checking files through AV Media Controler those folders are empty. I dont have any weird characters in names, co whats the problem?
All files are visible through synology media server or video station, but not with serviio.
I’ve restarted servioo, my pc, my diskstation many times, still no effect. Please help!
Serviio runs as a separate ‘serviio’ user. Make sure this user has permission to see the folders that contain your content.
I have already set it up. Serviio as user have all the necessery permissions for this folders.
But still nothing is visible.
I’ve lost many hours trying to solve this out, not many things pissed me of that much.
But you know what?! I’ve found solution!
Firstly take this shit and uninstal it all out your synology and pc.
Secondly download all again and one more time set it up.
Working!!
Nobody’s forcing you to use this you know.
I have been using your package for a couple of months. Thanks for creating this! Lately I am having hibernation issues. My DS413 won’t hibernate because the serviio.jar file is accessed every few minutes by java, see the entries written in the messages file below. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue?

Hi Patters,
I have a Synology 213+ and added your repository to the package source. Unfortunately I get no added packages after a refresh. DSM 4.2-3211. I have the console and server on my MacBook Pro and have put all the videos on the NAS. If I add the video folder on the NAS to my Console Library, I can play movies on my Bravia TV. I know I’ll need the processing power of the computer for the transcoding, so what benefit do I get from putting Serviio on the NAS? If it’s better to have Serviio on the NAS then I’m all for it. Just can’t get the packages to appear. I added the Java 7 zipped folder to the public folder that’s mentioned as a step on the Serviio forum. Please help? Great work by the way
Andy
Hi at all,
on my DS413j I have installed the Java 7 package and Serviio by the way you describe.
When serviio runs the cpu usage is 99% with a part of java up to 80 % and a memory usage nearly 275 mb. When I stop serviio the cpu usage is normal ( 15%) and java needs no memory.
Is the high cpu usage normal, or whats the problem.
Thanks in advance for help.
Is there a way to install an older version of serviio than the current 1.2.1 ? i am getting general lag on my synology 213air when serviio is running. also transfer speeds are about half of what they supposed to be. i used to run an older version on my other synology NAS without any problems.
Hi Patters,
Thank you for providing this package! I’ve been enjoying using this with my Sony Google TV NSZ-GS7 and Google Nexus 10, with Serviio running on my Synology 213+ (PPC cpu). I notice that the CBS online streams weren’t appearing on the ServiiGo or other player lists, even though they did appear in the console. I looked in the log file in the package center, and I found this related error dump in it several time. Do you have any suggestions for my next step to get CBS working?

Can I ask when Serviio 1.3 will be available for Synology NAS devices. I know the release was only yesterday, but I am awaiting the upgrade to enable streaming for some sites which need 1.3 according to support on the Serviio forum
I echo Paul’s request for 1.3. It has a number of features and improvements I am eagerly awaiting.
Can anyone tell me where the configuration is stored for the library paths? I need to change a path and can’t get it changed through Web Ui or Serviio-console on windows.
I’m running 1.2.1-0019. I also have Serviio Web Ui. In the Web Ui I can’t setup new or modify any media locations. Box come up but I can’t anything.
I also have Servii-console installed on windows and set to connect to Serviio on my Synology, but I get the error below. Installed the latest serviio-console and tried a couple different java versions.

same issue here…
OK, for the others to see – if you encounter the problem as described above, be sure to have the same version of the Synology package, and Console installed. I had 1.2.. installed on Synology (only available), and 1.3 Console installed on my Windows machine, as that’s what’s served from the website… just substitute the “1.3” in the download link with “1.2.1” and you should be fine downloading older version of console and be able to connect to the server. Then it works… but none of my videos play on my Sony TV (note to self: never *ever* buy Sony again). Serviio uninstalled. XBMC + HDMI it is…
I’d recommend trying to work through the issue on the Serviio forum, because in general Sony is one of the brands which works best with Serviio.
Sure, I’ll try that again when I have the time… it took quite a while to install Serviio on my Synology at all, and then my TV was unable to play any of the videos – frustrating to see Sony being the bad choice yet again.
When I start Serviio from my Synology it’s asking me to login with a password. How do I know what this password is? I have not chosen one.
same here and no password given during the install on my dsm713+
Can I be the third to ask what the password is, or where it can be changed? ServIIO looks cool, I want to use it! Anyone? Please e-mail me.
Same problem. Which pwd must be used?
Same here
Hello
I am happy to find a solution based on serviio as this software works well with my Samsung TV.
But I have a trouble with this installation.
I did evrything but I cannot connect to the NAS with the remote Serviio. I have an error message saying that the server cannot be found with the IP I record on the file.
Can you help me ?
Hey patters, I have a problem with Serviio on my Synology! It’s the same issue explained here: http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9780
Every 20min or so, the WD TV live will disconnect from Serviio and it’s a nightmare to connect it back. I added the value they mentioned on the post to the .plist file in Serviio console…
Do you know what the problem is? How to fix it?
THANKS!
Im buggered I have a Synology 24111+ have installed serviio, already own a copy of pro on my laptop but I can see the servvio on my tvs etc from the nas but nothing is in there…?
I had Serviio working perfectly on my DS213 until very recently. I did not upgrade synology to 4.3 yet, because I did not want to bugger up serviio. Since it stopped working I started seeing the following in the messages logfile:
Aug 30 13:33:33 pingpong.cgi: pingpong.cpp:69 SLIBRelaydGetServerId failed.
Aug 30 13:33:39 pingpong.cgi: pingpong.cpp:69 SLIBRelaydGetServerId failed.
Aug 30 13:34:44 scemd: scemd.c:423 stop manutild.
Any ideas what could cause this?
Hello
Just installed Java 7 and Serviio package to my NAS 213+.
Then downloaded and installed the Serviio console (WIN7) and changed the NAS config address.
Could not start the conslole though.

1.2.1 version of console installation worked!
I can’t get the Java installer to work. It’s asking for the old Java SE package (april 2013) but I can’t find it anywhere. It won’t work with the latest Java SE file (august 2013)

Someone can help?
Alex
Message seems to be clear : Serviio server version is 1.2.1, ServiioConsole version is 1.3.1.They might not be compatible.
You should use the same version of serviioConsole as your serviio server.
Of course it’s clear, what isn’t clear is where you actually get the old 1.2.1 installer from. Nor is it clear to anybody following the guide here that they cant just go to serviio.org’s download page.
While it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to copy the URL for the 1.3.1 version and substitute the 3 with a 2, it really wouldn’t be that hard to update this article to add a sentence or two about the version mismatch since 1.3 was released, and provide a direct link to the older version, would it?
I’m rather busy at the moment which is why I haven’t updated the page. I think most people would rather I focussed on compiling FFmpeg with all required libraries for four different CPU architectures so I can actually release version 1.3.1 for Synology.
Sorry Patterns, didn’t mean to suggest you were negligent in any way. Was just responding to Xtream who was pointing out the obvious to Alex who was having trouble.
That said, a simple link to the old version would be nice for those like Alex who are installing it now before the new version is ready, that wouldn’t take more than 30 seconds surely ;-)
Serviio 1.2.1 (with console) can be downloaded here : http://servio-for-windows.en.lo4d.com/
English is not my native language so I try to help some people with basic problems and not disturb Patters who seems to be very busy with really hard stuff to manage to give us a very good synology servioo package.I apologize if my sentence seems to be rude.Keep the good work Patters, and thanks for that !
Or, for folks who prefer to download from official sites, rather than random mirrors: http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.2.1-win-setup.exe ;)
Thanks Ryan. I’ve searched on official site but don’t find it. You’re right, it’s better on official site.
Hey Patters!
No pressure, but after the Java update nothing is working for me. I should have waited to update, but I didn’t and now Serviio won’t even start on my DS213j!
I’ve tried installing all different Java versions and a bunch of other things but no luck….
Any help please?
I’ve downloaded all the ARMv7 java 7 files and put them in my public folder. Whenever I try to install Serviio on my DS213j, this is the message I get: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v5tbg5hzl134omk/Screenshot%202013-09-30%2016.51.40.png
Is there anything I can do on my end to install Serviio or do you just have to update the package so that it can use the new java files?
Since I’ve updated to the latest version Nas (DSM 4.3-3776-2), the Serviio has stopped working, will not start. any Idea
Same here, I’m not able to use Serviio atm…
same problem here… and why is there no 1.3.1 version for synology?
Hi,
I installed the new Version on my DS213J. But the Server will not startet. Java is installed too.
The Java package for the DS213j was broken. It’s fixed now – sorry!
Patters, I don’t mean to be much of a hassle, but are you aware that Serviio is not working right now on Synology? There’s some kind of mismatch with the Java packages…
Could you give us an update on the status of Serviio for Synology whenever you have a break?
Thanks!
I’ve managed to solve it by uninstalling Java and Serviio and reinstalling from scratch

Yo he conseguido solucionarlo desinstalando Java y Serviio y volviéndolo a instalar desde cero
Blase, que versión de Java has utilizado? Puedes escribir un paso a paso de como lo has hecho? Yo desde que actualice Java se me fue todo al trasto en mi ds213j…
Can You Post a howto? What package of java are you using when installing Serviio from the repo?

¡Hola! La problema con Java 7 sobre el DS213j está reparado.
Hi all – the big delay releasing Serviio 1.3.1 has been caused by the fact that something has changed in FFmpeg’s build scripts for libs that link to other libs when cross compiling and my methods no longer worked (for libass in particular). It has been an absolute mission to get working, but I think I have it done now. I’ve had repeated starts and stops on this over several months, and unfortunately I really haven’t had much available time. As before I have compiled with shared libraries, using libraries native to Synology DSM where possible, but having the linking done with a relative path so the system’s libs are not interfered with.
Anyway, can someone with a DS213j please extract this archive to a folder and check that ffmpeg launches from the command line? I’m cross-compiling blind for an architecture I don’t own (armada370), so I can’t test at all. Can you post the screen output please? You need to launch it from inside the extracted folder using a dot slash like this:

Hello patters,
at first thanks you very much for all your hard work!
Unfortunately as many others have experienced, there seems to be a Java SE Update (ejre-7u45-fcs-b15-linux-ppc-e500v2-headless-26_sep_2013.tar.gz) being the most current at the moment. Any Chance to account for this in the Serviio install routine?
Thanks alot and keep up the great work!
Hi, I have updated the Java 7 package on the repo.
Serviio 1.3.1 for Synology is finally released. Enjoy!
Unfortunately after waiting for and looking forward to 1.3.1, I find it’s rendered my media box useless. It seems this new version doesn’t want to scan my folders for files.
I’ve removed the folders from the “Shared Folders” panel, and re-added them, and I’ve checked the serviio user has rights to my media share on the NAS box.
No matter what I do though, when I click Force refresh, the checking for new files light only stays green for a couple of seconds before going back to red with no files scanned.
My renderer sees the TV folder, but says there are no files within.
Any ideas please mate?
Just found the log… here’s one of the errors. I guess the question is, what’s different now to before I updated to 1.3.1?
2013-10-17 23:46:09.799 WARN [LibraryManager] Skipping processing metadata for an unsupported file (Game of Thrones – 2×07 – A Man Without Honor.mkv). Message: Unknown video file type.
Ok, I had to completely remove Serviio and put it back on again before it could read my files. A shame the update wasn’t as easy as it first seemed. Thanks for getting the new version out anyway Patters :)
There was an issue with the QorIQ build of FFmpeg which I have now fixed. Which model NAS do you have?
DS213+… think you’ve mentioned before this is a QorIQ model. I guess when I first downloaded it I got the bugged version, then after removing and reinstalling it I got the fixed version. That explains it :)
Update and run
Thanks
hi, i have same problem “Skipping processing metadata for an unsupported file” , my synology is actually an Xpenology VM , can i download the previous version which worked like a charm so far ? thanks !
XT
What happens when you run /volume1/@appstore/Serviio/bin/ffmpeg, and are you using version 0021 of the package?
EDIT : just see update available , scan is in progress , thanks Patters :)
Help!
I am trying to install java on my sinology ds213+ so I can run serviio. I have tried I carnt seem to sort the right file to place in my public folder can any one help please.
What exactly is your problem?
If you follow the instructions on top of this page everything should work just fine.
Did you use the correct Java SE Embedded version “ejre-7u45-fcs-b15-linux-ppc-e500v2-headless-26_sep_2013.tar.gz” from here (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/embedded/downloads/javase/index.html)?
Thanks so much Patters!!! With this update everything is working perfectly again! It had been months since I was able to use Serviio without a flood of errors, it’s so good to be back in business!
I give up I dont think any version will run properly of a 2411+ 8-(
If you can find a way for us 12 bay users to install it would be great… Ive tried changing paths etc nothing works…
You might need to be more specific about the problem. I bought an 2411+ in my last job and I would test all my packages on it without issues. Have you got lots of different volumes perhaps?
Yes have different volumes, tried config editor and just cant seem to get it to work..
Installs ok just cant point it to TV Movies etc
Not having any luck here. Syn 1512+, DSM 4.3, Intel CPU. I’ve used your CrashPlan before, and hence had your URL in PackageManager already. I can’t find anyway to get Serviio option. I eventually deleted the CP entry, now neither package shows up as available. Any clue?
Can you try again, but change the package repo URL to http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk/index-logged.php
If you give me your public IP (look at http://whatismyip.com) then I can see what CPU type your NAS is declaring as it connects.
I posted this IP info to the email associated with the paypal link.
Hmm. It’s declaring itself as cedarview which the repo is set up to service. Can you try to download the spk file and install manually?
http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk/downloads/serviio1.3.1-merged-0021.spk
Sorry, posted wrong link. Updated.
To be clear, I deleted the CrashPlan entry from Package Center settings, and readd it using Serviio tag, and I don’t see Serviio package. I add back as CrashPlan, and either way I can’t see CrashPlan now, except as an installed package.
I had a problem that Serviio didn’t started after the update. – Even after removing and reinstalling serviio and java. Turned out that some some utility from my optware busybox installation wasn’t good enough (sed or echo??) and borked the serviio installation script.
Solution was to temporarly remove busybox and install serviio again. Win
I can only really test stuff on an unmodded Synology. If you mod it with ipkg, all bets are off unfortunately. At a guess I would say that sed is quite likely to be the culprit since some of the character escaping does change slightly between versions.
I cannot download the x86 package http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk/downloads/serviio1.3.1-native-i686.tgz. I’m getting 404 error. Can you help?
There is no such file. There is only one Intel build and that is compiled using the i686 toolchain so it can link to the DSM labs which are all i686 even though the CPUs are x86-64.
For DS214 Play Intel CE5300 the package is wrong…any solutions Patters ?
Tks
Can you change the repo URL you entered into Package Center to http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk/index-logged.php and refresh in Package Center so I can see the CPU ID that your NAS presents? Then I can add that ID to the regular Intel package. Also, can you run:
uname -mand reply with the result. Thanks!
uname -m : result = i686
Tks Patters
Thanks. Can you download the existing Intel FFmpeg binary (which is in fact a 32bit compile) and run it? Do this:
cd /volume1/@tmpmkdir ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
wget http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk/downloads/serviio1.3.1-native-x86_64.tgz
tar xvzf serviio1.3.1-native-x86_64.tgz
./ffmpeg
Does it launch ok?
Is there a plan for create a build for armadaxp architecture (DS214, DS414)? That would be great. Thx in advance
Can you have a look at my last comment on the Java package blog post (use the link on the right)? I need some info from a live system first.Thanks.
I’ve built something that should work. Can you test and let me know? Thanks.
all commands seems allright.
But can’t connect to my serviio : http://192.168.0.6:23424/mediabrowser/
(192.168.0.6 is my private NAS IP)
23424 = default port ?
Can you paste the output from when you run ./ffmpeg
