Do you mean how to install DS 4.3?
Yes you can and it's very easy if you follow a few steps. I suggest having a read of this thread from the start, it's only 6 pages.
This is the files I'm using at the mow http://xpenology.trantor.be/. Don't forget any HD you use will be wiped clean.

It tells you at the top
Oh and don't forget to read the thread then you know what version of media server to install to do transcoding.
So I noticed something weird with my DSM installation today - The CPU is permanently at 99%. When I had a look at the process log I saw 8 processes called https_x86_64, each taking up a chunk of CPU.
SSHing into the box and running top shows a bit more detail:
I then checked out the .cfg shown in top:
It seems my box has been hacked and is being used for *insert nefarious scheme here*. The box was immediately taken offline but it is a major concern that a third party has gained root access. The only port presented to the web was HTTPS, no other ports were forwarded and telnet/ssh were disabled too. I was running DSM 4.2-3211. Its frustrating that I am going to have spend the weekend sorting this out but at least I haven't lost any data...
you've missed loads of updates. Read above on how to do it.
Theres been nearly 5+ updates on 4.3 (literally every month since its release) ALL of which included security updates.
For the time and effort - why not just buy a synology to start with?
PS - DSM 5.0 Beta here now / me hearts my 712+
I did have a synology but I wanted more drive bays so I went this way. HP N54L £160 synology 6 bay £1600
Just get Ubuntu or a like installed on a USB stick then you can find out your mac addy.
Just post if you need any help.
EDIT=Forgot to say..get this file from synology server MediaServer-x64-1.1-2403.spk as the new Media serve does NOT do transcoding.

Have you updated to Update 4
Have you tried to re-index them again? I have no problems here. But sometimes it picks the wrong info for the film.
You could try re-picking the \video folder and see if it gets the metadata and try to leave it a bit longer to index this time.
I did try that and left ot overnight
However, discovered the cause this morning ! All the films that we in the folder I was trying to index had "disappeared" they were deifinately there as I watched some of them :/
I copied them back over from my external HDD this morning and they have started to pick them up
On a slight tangent is there a media streamer / way to run DS video on a (non smart) TV in the lounge ?
I have an Asus OPlay! but you cant install the DS Video app on that - cheers !
That's confusing but good news in the end. Does the Oplay have DLNA? if so then your sorted.
What is the version of the media server you have installed? is it MediaServer-x64-1.1-2403.spk
Yeh you got it. Get the app here http://www.raving.at/ to change your mac addy.
Once 4.3 is installed it will tell you about some updates, click download DON'T click update
go to scheduled tasks and create a custom task and copy+paste this in to the box.
sed 's/flashupdateDeb/flashupdateDeb1/' /[email protected]> /[email protected]
mv /[email protected] /[email protected]
Then go back and click update
I would make sure you have a backup mate.

Nope
Storage, Disc, Network or UPnP - so just the crappy Asus browser :\
What about media share? that will work.
I would try to look for mods out there(but watch what you're doing). I use a WDTV SMP but my TV has a Lan
so I use that mostly with plex installed on the Nas and on my TV.
Do you mean using DS download station? I use the android apps to do everything. I use no-ip(free) for my Nas addy.
My family upload photos to the nas via file station when they are out and about or the mem card is full.

Yes and video station, well all of them that's why this OS is better then any of the others in my opinion.
That's the whole point of a NAS
Glad to help.
So trantor has done a DS 5 beta http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2219
I would NOT use this yet. I will test it in the morning on a spare HD and see what's what and report back.
I've upgraded and all went fine. Now I'm changing the grub.conf so I will get the real mac addy.
Edit=All done and is running great(so far)
The new GUI is great and WOL worked out the box, it configured my router(SH2) in seconds.
Transfer speed is the same as 4.3. Any thing you want me to try just ask.

So hibernation doesn't work on V5 
even if I take out the USB stick.

You have to SHH into the nas and edit the grub.conf.
No you need to SHH as you will need root rights.
No. But it's easy to do on a pc.
I forgot to post about that. I did it by moving the hibernation time to 30\save\restart. Then move it back to 10 min. All fine and dandy
