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.

• 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

UPDATE – This is no longer the most recent package. I have released a new version and created a new blog post to keep the comments on topic.

My guide for installing Petr Nejedly’s excellent Serviio 0.5.2 on Synology has been a very popular post, and many people have got it running. However, the process is still complex enough to deter a lot of people and, as I learned more about my Synology NAS, I realised that I could automate the whole thing. The biggest obstacle was creating a package for Java, but adding locale support to the syno Linux also proved difficult.

The PHP Web UI is now included which you can use to manage Serviio once it’s installed. I have tried to fix most of the localization issues with it, and have edited the CSS to give it the look and feel of DSM as much as I could. You could also use Serviio Remote Console from another computer if you prefer. Any online content plugins (ending in .groovy) that are found in your NAS ‘public’ share will also be installed into Serviio’s plugins folder automatically during installation.

The package will allow future upgrades while preserving the media database and the online plugins, as long as Serviio itself is ok with that. You can see Serviio’s log by clicking More in the Package Centre. DSM 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, add online content plugins, or look at the log in detail that’s where you’ll find the files. 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.

Download

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

If you’re still on DSM 3.1, download one of the following packages. Right-click, Save As:

• serviio0.6.0.1-88f6281-005.spk for Marvell Kirkwood CPU (ARMv5)
• serviio0.6.0.1-x86-005.spk for Intel Atom CPU

Serviio uses some open source libraries without which it would not have been possible.
By downloading the software on this page you are agreeing to the terms of the original Serviio End User Licence Agreement.
I accept no liability for any damage that may occur to your data or your cat’s health as a result of using this software :) The scripts are shown in full below, so you are free to assess any risks yourself.

Instructions

This package can be installed on an unmodified NAS – no hacking is required. It has been tested on DSM 3.1 and DSM 3.2. Here’s what you need to do:

• In the DSM User control panel enable the User Home service
• In the DSM Web Services control panel enable Web Station
• Using the DSM Package Center install my Java SE for Embedded Synology package
• Download any online content plugins that you require and leave the .groovy file for each in your NAS’s public shared folder
• Determine your NAS’s CPU type, and install the appropriate Serviio Synology package from the download link above
• Give it some time to start (click More Info in Package Center to see the Log tab – check it has loaded all the renderer profiles), then you can use the Serviio icon in the DSM drop down menu in the top-right to launch the Web UI. This Serviio icon will only be visible to admin users in DSM
To use the Serviio Remote Console from a Windows PC edit ServiioConsole.exe.vmoptions in the Serviio folder and add the line: -Dserviio.remoteHost=192.168.x.x (replace with your NAS’s IP address). It can take a minute or so to start – this is normal. For details on how to configure the Remote Console on other operating systems refer to the Serviio FAQ. It seems that the first time Serviio starts with a blank database the Remote Console will get stuck showing the message “Serviio is updating its Media Library”. If that happens wait a couple of minutes, stop and restart Serviio via the Package Center. Give it another couple of minutes then the remote console should work fine.
• Once the console is up, disable ‘Generate thumbnails for local videos’, and set the ‘Transcoded files location’ to /volume1/@tmp. 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 you add folders to your library you need to use the ‘Add path…’ button (not ‘Add local…’) and give the full Linux path (e.g. /volume1/share-name/Movies). There are issues with the Add Local ajax file browser which mean that it doesn’t work properly even if you give PHP access to the filesystem root

Upgrading from 0.5.2

If you want to upgrade from a manually installed 0.5.2, you will need to follow the steps below. I was considering automating it, but it gets complicated trying to remove people’s edits from /etc/profile which may not be entirely consistent.

• Stop the Serviio 0.5.2 daemon by running: /opt/etc/init.d/S99serviio.sh stop
• Copy your media database somewhere safe: cp -R /opt/serviio/library/db /volume1/public
• Follow the uninstallation steps at the bottom of my original guide
• Install my Java Synology package
• Install the Serviio Synology package from the download link above but don’t start it yet
• Copy your saved database into position: cp -R /volume1/public/db /volume1/@appstore/Serviio/library (warning – for people with multiple volumes, the @appstore folder is not always on /volume1 apparently)
• Force ownership on database files: chown -R serviio /volume1/@appstore/Serviio/library
• Force ownership on transcode cache: chown -R serviio /volume1/@tmp/Serviio
• Start Serviio in the DSM Package Center
• Follow the rest of the settings guidelines from above
