After several years Synology Photos is still useless for lots of professionals. For one it destroys meta-information in jpg's and lacks several valuable features from Photo Station. This means we are stuck with DSM 6. Is there any way to install Photo Station on DSM 7 through docker or other...

Note Station isn't as good as it could be. Research here seems to confirm this. What to use instead? I'm seeing Standard Notes and Joplin mentioned. Both have macOS and iOS clients and I need that. Both are hard to install, and I don't need that. I'm reluctant to return to using apps which need...

I have a Synology with 2 ethernet ports. On my network I have a public and private network. The TV is connected to the public network directly to the router. The synology is on private network. I configured a static address for the second ethernet port, then tried logging into the video...

Hi there, my Openvpn connections work like a breeze but after that, nothing goes. What could be the cause? Should I go with an older Connect client? I read everything I could but there's not much on this topic. Here the curious diagnosis details: I can connect to the same DSM 6.2 NAS and web...

I have Download Station installed on a DS216 play. This particular machine isn't used for much of anything other than Download Station, so it can enjoy a VPN connection to a VPN provider full time. I notice that this machine gets a little bogged down when there are more than a thousand tasks...

My VPN (on the network edge, not in Synology) is running slow. Locally files are available as expected but over VPN it's slowed down. Rather than find out why, how about if users login to their account and access files via File Station using a browser. What's the danger? I know their VPN...

I think the answer will be a resounding no but can I in some some way connect my Hikvision DVR with 8 analogue cameras to Surveillance Station? Jim

OK I just used another app in my TV called VLC. It allowed me to access the NAS. I can see Folders in the NAS. It even plays VOB files!! Why would I need Video Station to play my home movies?

Hi All, I am trying to set up the Alexa link with Audio Station, but the settings in Audio Station do not have the checkbox for activating the Alexa-service. I tried it both on an Android device (in Desktop mode) and on a Windows PC, same result. See screenshot attached (in German, apologies)...

Hello, I have a TP-Link IPC43AN camera, however since acquired a new router (ASUS RT-AX88U), I can no longer use it normally : for the Test connection function on Surveillance station, I have the following message : 'Unable to take camera snapshot' (I attached a photo) On the other hand, the...

In case you have missed the official news on the Synology site, or their email newsletter, as of May 1st 2023, certain legacy DSM, as well as Surveillance Station, SRM, and some other smaller packages will no longer be supported and as such their installations will no longer be available on the...

I'm trying to route Download Station's traffic through LAN 2. My plan is to use a VPN on LAN 2, once I can set this up. I went into the firewall and blocked all BT/eMule traffic from LAN 1 and allowed it on LAN 2. However, upon doing this, I still see that Download Station is using LAN 1 to...

Well, after this thread: https://www.synoforum.com/threads/replacing-ds212j-time-to-move-to-dsm-7-and-synology-photos.10165/ I finally bit the bullet and installed DSM 7. All good, until I came to moving photos. I'm obviously not the first person to fall into this trap, and I'm sure I won't be...

Does File station have the ability to compare folders. I have 2 folders full of the same music, would like to check if they contain the same files or not. I thought of just copying the one over the other. Tried that in a different folder and it made duplicates even after telling it to skip. TIA

I've been using Surveillance station since getting my NAS. I use the windows client and keep it open instead of going to the NAS web page to view outside. I works ok but if I maximize it and then go back to a smaller size, the image is off center, and you can't see the right half. Tech support...

My Download Station is suddenly not downloading anything. It is uploading, but DL is at 0 kb. I can download torrents directly to my computer, so not an ISP issue. Is there someway to do a port test or similar, to check everything is okay?

I have 2 separate sites with separate public IP's. I have never been able to view the 2nd site camera with surveillance station and I've been told its because SS can only find and receive feeds from cameras that are on the same LAN as the device hosting SS. Last time I looked into this was...
