Update guide is up on the NL site for U7, pretty much the same as the others but with an added "reboot" command at the end.... no results from anyone trying it yet though, so I think I'll try it on a spare box and see what happens, rather than blast my live box and lose it.

took a chance and did it the same way as the other updates by running the script I had created previously worked fine and now on update 7

Hi,

Does anybody use AVPlayer on their iOS device along with this NAS setup?

Streaming videos from my old Freenas Shuttle worked fine but from the new NAS I am getting audio drops every 10-15mins and sometimes video freezing.

Have tried 2 iPads so unlikely those.

Marvellous.... just ran through it now, worked a treat. Actually cleaner than previous couple of updates (dismounted drives etc).

Best way to do it. Not to keen on the new Video Station.

Not really tried video station tbh as I use plex, much changed?

Tried to update the usual way and it said 'fail to update the file. The file is probably corrupt.'

This was with update 7. It just refreshed and nothing changed.

Not sure what to do now?

Odd mine went through no problem at all, you did run the script before trying to install I presume?

I did indeed. Even tried rebooting and doing it again, but the same result. Unless the update was bad when I tried.

I'll try again tomorrow and see if it plays.

Cheers.

It's harder to find things now. It's trying to be a bit like plex. I do use the DS station app on my phone
to send the film to my tv, which is on the network.

Hi gents,

I want to give this a try. Is the step by step on post 11 still valid, or is there a more up to date version floating around?

That's for a DSM4.2 install, there will be some other guides out there for DSM5.0.

I originally used this one I think - http://cyanlabs.net/Thread-Install-Synology-DSM-5-0-4493-ESXi-Non-ESXI

Sweet, thanks Ci. Will follow that one

Quick question - do drives have to be wiped when they are added? I have 2 x 3TB and a 1TB currently that I'll want to use in mine and I'm going to get another 3TB drive, will I have to do some kind of juggling act? Move data from the drive I want to add before adding it and so on for the others as I add them?

You will have to juggle afaik as i did it that way.Even if its possible to plug and play so too speak i would still do a backup before trying.

Ok guys.. Got a crashed drive with 300 gig of data on it. The data isn't valuable, but I would like to try and save it. Is there any way of recovering it ?

Thanks

There is a how to on the synology site. You will need a version of Linux\Ubuntu via a another HD or USB stick.

Is it just one HD?

MarkeR · 14 Oct 2014 at 09:04

Yup just drive, not raid as there is nothing of major importance on it, just a few TV series seasons which I will find hard to get again.

Will check out the site.

Thanks

Anyone attempted 4528 update? Can't do it the usual way using the script unfortunately, I've downloaded a new nanoboot and am just backing up some stuff before I try

terminator2k2 · 26 Oct 2014 at 22:40

I did a clean install of nanoboot and 4528 pat file , but this was on a home made server, everything working good here. Go over to xpenology.nl plenty of stuff there. I used the no USB/exsi on single hard drive method by cyan labs , but that one wasn't update able.

I've read you need to change in the Menu_instal.lst file to

upgrade=5.0-4528

Then reboot , then manual install the 4528.pat file

Then it should update.

Just wish there was a app to monitor cpu temps
