I didn't see a section about the iTunes Server app so I figured that I would post my question here. If I should ask this elsewhere then please let me know. I just got my DS920+ and I'm starting to get it all configured. I downloaded iTunes Server and it automatically installed a Music folder...

Probably late to this party but I've just updated to the latest release of Plex on my NAS running DSM 7. In DSM 6 Plex created shared folder 'Plex' to hold its configuration data, media metadata, logs, caches, etc. This folder could be backed up by Hyper Backup and made restoring easy. With...

My new LG TV automatically found my Diskstation on my local network. This now allows anyone to see any photos or videos, regardless of any access permissions that have been set. At no time have I ever been asked for any user ID or password for the Diskstation. I can't find any way of fixing...

Does Synology Media Server maintain a log of the files it has served? If so, where is that log located? And is the information it contains in a format that would be relatively easy to read into a PHP script? I would like to write a Web Server / PHP script to read and report from the Media...

Hi guys, I did a quick search but couldn't find the answer. I'm quite a novice at all things NAS and Synology. I have set up Video Station with a number of my favourite films and media and spent quite a few hours organising it and making it look nice in Video Station. I'm on DSM 6.2.xx...

Hello, I've lurked here a little while but I just signed up to ask a question.... Has anyone succeeded in installing & running wifi drivers with usb recovery media? I'm testing bare metal recovery of a couple of systems and I can load the wifi drivers manually - but the internet options page...

Hi, I've just installed the Active backup agent on 11 Windows 10 workstations (a variety of 32 / 64 bit) and a couple of Windows 2012 servers. Just logged into the Diskstation to view them all in Active backup and they're all listed as PCs, and nothing under Physical Server. Does that matter...

First post here and apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum. I'm about six weeks in with my new DS920+ that replaced an ancient LaCie single-spindle NAS solution at home. Main use is as a media server plus backup of family's data from various laptops and PCs. I'm running the Plex...

Well, request assistance on my Synology Rack Station Model RS2418RP+ Apparently after upgrading to the newer DSM version 6.2.3-25426 Update 2 the Asus converter boxes only !Oplay's are not able to connect to the NAS via UPNP anymore. I did several things, like decrease the SSDP advertisement...

I came across a guy on another forum that says he has over 50Tb of family videos and pics stored across 25 3-Tb drives that he currently manually swaps out when needed. He was talking about getting a used enterprise server. I don't know if he was hoping to just drop the drives into a 30- or...

I saw reference to IINA in an online article discussing media files and playbacking using free apps such as VLC [all normal so far] and IINA [what?? never heard of it]. So this is a Mac-only app based on mpv and written using Apple's Swift. If you're going to google it use 'mac iina' as 'iina'...

Hello, As I patiently wait for the 2020+ series Synology NAS drives to arrive, I am trying to learn all that I can so that I am prepared when it comes time to configure. The main goal of my NAS will be to store many pictures. While this is not my only goal, it's what is driving the purchase...

Hi, If I have a DS1019+ (5 bays with 5 disks loaded). 4 are in a RAID 5 configuration and 1 as a separate volume. When using Video Station and storing all the media files on the single volume (don’t care if they are lost). If the DS gets restarted will Video Station go through reindexing? Is...

Question for the community. Has anyone found a social media post scheduler that you can self-host on your Synology? I am looking for something similar to HootSuite and Buffer. The main platform I am looking to schedule posts for is on my twitter account. Thanks in advance.

We have a home media server with about 30TB of video - currently on a RAID 6 array (6x16TB). We run daily versioned HyperBackups via 10GbE, alternating between two other servers that are also RAID 6 arrays (8x 10TB). All drives are Seagate Exos. Additions and changes, day-to-day, are easily...

I decided to start a new thread so as to not add too much to my "is my strategy sound" thread. As a recap, I was just gifted a DS-718+ as a new family NAS that replaces an ancient Zyxel NAS. Among the tasks I want the new NAS to do is manage media. We all have Iphones and I have a large...

I use a home-brew PHP application to manage media files, including the movement of .mkv and .m4v video files within DSM's indexed 'video' folder. The PHP apps run on the same server as the media files, under Web Station / Apache. Unfortunately, files moved using PHP 'rename' do not trigger...
