Hello, I'm currently running dsm 7.0 on my DS220+ and want to upgrade to 7.1. However, 7.1 wants me to sign in with a synology account so that I can accept the new license agreement for the AAC and HEVC codecs (advanced media extensions package). I have zero interest in creating a synology...

When I upload a folder to Synology Photos using drag and drop, 95% of the time, the app auto sorts these folders into a Year/month folder format. This has saved me a ton of time, and I LOVE this feature and the app as a whole. Occasionally it hangs up while loading, so i have to babysit the...

Hello again. Been loving this forum and am learning a lot. I'm nearing my first NAS purchase, a Synology 1821+, and am checking Amazon for drives to get it with (have good experience with them and am unsure of other UK retailers like Scan and Box). The plan was to perhaps get 2 8TB drives to...

Upgraded my DS415+ and the DS620Slim to the 7.1 No issues at all at the good old DS415+, the package opens fine and shows the HEVC and AAC codecs . On DS620Slim, the advanced media extensions do not download. It opens with a screen that tells me to press a button to download the licence for...

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...

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...
