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.

• 0030 21/May/16 – Updated to Serviio 1.6.1
• 0029 28/Jan/16 – Updated to Serviio 1.6, integrated the new built-in web console into DSM, fixed stupid wrapper bug which had broken evansport hardware transcoding on DS214play and DS415play, fixed online content when using evansport build. You must have already upgraded to version 1.5.2-0028 or else Package Center will report a TCP port conflict and will fail to upgrade the package. If you missed the 0028 update, install it manually in Package Center using the .spk file: (DS214play/DS415play), (all other models).
• 0028 08/Jan/16 – Serviio instance uses hostname rather than localhost, more accurate detection of DSM 6.0 on Intel CPUs which need x64 FFmpeg build, added DS216play support, fixed missing libgmp on DS3612xs running DSM 5.0, change to allow easy package upgrade to forthcoming Serviio 1.6
• 0027 12/Nov/15 – Substantial package re-write hence the long delay since the last release
  Completely refreshed documentation, please re-read
  Updated to Serviio version 1.5.2
  Java 8 is now required – this is a Serviio imposed requirement
  DSM 5.0 or newer is now required
  Updated to FFmpeg 2.7.1 and many libs e.g. x264 at latest versions from late July 2015
  Added optional hardware transcoding support for Intel Evansport systems (DS214play, DS415play) built using Synology-modified sources for FFmpeg 2.0.2
  FFmpeg is now compiled with https support via GNUTLS library (useful for online streams via plugins)
  Switched to using root account which was necessary for Evansport hardware encoding – no more adding account permissions, package upgrades will no longer break this
  Added support for Mindspeed Comcerto 2000 CPU (comcerto2k – ARM Cortex-A9 with NEON) in DS414j
  Added support for Intel Atom C2538 (avoton) CPU in DS415+
  Fontconfig fc-cache utility now included to allow troubleshooting issues with adding new fonts for additional subtitle language support
  Fontconfig variables checked on each package startup so DSM upgrades no longer break hard subs support
  Updated DejaVu subtitle font to version 2.35
  DSM Firewall application definitions added
  Tested with DSM Task Scheduler to allow package to start/stop at certain times of day, saving RAM when not needed
  Daemon init script now uses a proper PID file instead of the unreliable method of using grep on the output of ps
  Daemon init script can be run from the command line
  Improved accuracy of temp folder and plugins folder detection
  Switched to .tar.xz compression for native binaries to reduce web hosting storage footprint
  Package is now signed with repository private key
  User Agent customization while downloading Serviio binaries from serviio.org to allow download stats gathering

• 013 Fixed a bug in the plugins folder creation, fixed deletion of home directories after user deletion (DSM 4.1)
• 012 Reduced Java prefs checking interval to once every 24 hours to allow the NAS to hibernate (was 30 seconds by default – remember to increase the time between library refreshes if you want hibernation)

• 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
• 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)
• 008 Fixed DST timezone support, installer no longer assumes /volume1 is primary storage volume
• 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
• 006 Updated to Serviio 0.6.1, 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
• 005 Added Web Station dependency, EULA dialog, and links for Web UI and user forum in More Info
• 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

• 0.6b4 v2 Fixed permissions on transcode temporary folder following upgrade, avoiding the need for a reboot
• 0.6b4 v1 Updated to Serviio 0.6 beta 4, added upgrade scripts to allow media database migration (install future packages over the top of this one – database is preserved)
• 0.6b3c v2 Fixed HOME env var for serviio user (to fix librtmp issues with BBC iPlayer) and removed the need to edit the passwd file to change the shell (safer)
• 0.6b3c v1 Initial spk test release – Serviio 0.6 beta 3
