Difference DS916+, DS3615xs and DS3617xs


Nebroth

Question

Hey!

I'd really like to hear the differences about these 3 DSM Versions.

The DS3615xs is bromolow architecture, DS3617xs is Broadwell and DS916+ is braswell. Alright. But what does it do?

I've got an Asrock J3455M Mainboard. which DSM Version whould be the best for my use?

Thanks in Advance,

Nebroth

Ah okay!

So i've got one more question. It seems that the DS916 Image is the best suited for me i think, then, right?

Where do i get a serial for the DS916? It won't boot without a valid serial, right?

The Serial Generators only use 3615xs or 3617xs...

afaik the SN is only for the dynamic dns function (quick connect), the image will boot with the serial already in jun's loader

 

does have the J3455M the same feature (instructions) as the processor in the DS916+ (to use hardware trancoding)?

you will have to check (read) for yourself

the DS916+ comes with a Pentium N3710 quad-core ...

hmm... ok so braswell to broadwell introduces a few new instruction sets but I don't see them as being significant. Xeon-D does not have onboard GPU so the benefits of the transcoding improvements in Broadwell would not be realised by me.

 

I believe the DS3617xs vs DS3615xs would be very minor then for a Xeon-D system. Any difference of opinion?

 

I'm not aware of any difference in the operability of either that Jun provides either (as another reliability reason when considering which to run right now).

imho you miss the point i was trying to provide

the image of the ds916+ might use features that might crash the software installed if the processor does not provide the features of the Pentium N3710 used for hardware based trancoding

your i5-2400s is at least 5 years old and has a completly differnt core design

i'd expect that the HD Graphics 405 will be providing the addional functions (like in a skylake dasktop processor?) i dont know what is used by synology but if i would have to guess it's "Intel® Quick Sync Video" ("Intel® Quick Sync Video delivers fast conversion of video for portable media players, online sharing, and video editing and authoring.") so if we asume that, then:

 

http://ark.intel.com/products/91830/Int ... o-2_56-GHz

-> yes, its the one synology uses in ds916+

 

http://ark.intel.com/products/52208/Int ... o-3_30-GHz

-> no

 

https://ark.intel.com/products/95594/In ... to-2_3-GHz

-> yes

some infos jun wrote, just to complete it:

 

On 4/11/2017 at 5:10 PM, jun said:

DS916 is added for hardware transcoding support, and its kernel is optimized for intel's braswell family processors. For desktop/mobile processors, 4th Gen Core processor or later is required to provide necessary instruction features.

for example, i7-4700mq works, but e3-1230v2 complains about undefined instructions.

found some interrsting detailed inforamtion about the hardware transcoding on intel based synology boxes

 

"...

DS214play and DS415play with Intel Evansport SoC are the only models supported. Serviio uses the multimedia tool FFmpeg for manipulating media files, and I am only able to build a hardware-assisted FFmpeg for DS214play and DS215play. Subsequent to those products, Synology has marketed a number of other systems with hardware transcoding features but these are not supported by Serviio. The DS216play with STiH412 Monaco SoC uses a specialised build of Gstreamer for the Synology transcoding solution, so its hardware features cannot be used by FFmpeg. It seems likely that Synology is also using Gstreamer for the Intel Braswell or newer generation CPUs with QuikSync, since DSM ships with an older FFmpeg (2.7.1) than the version which introduced QuikSync support (2.8.0). To implement FFmpeg QuikSync hardware transcoding support requires Linux kernel patches for libmfx support which is not currently included in DSM 6.x, so Serviio support for Intel QuikSync on Synology is unlikely unless Synology in future switches to using FFmpeg for its own hardware transcoding solution.

..."

https://pcloadletter.co.uk/2012/01/25/serviio-syno-package/

 

if someone plans to use ffmpeg in cooperation with Quick Sync Video, DSM 6 is no good, but the synology inegated hardware trancoding might work if the processor supports Quick Sync Video (up to now no reports about a running dsm 6.1 916+ image on non synology hardware)

i was digging and this cpu 2400s suports Intel® Quick Sync Video, where did you get that info?

i think a cant use-it because ffmpeg requires Linux kernel patches for libmfx.

i have 3 versions of ffmpeg instaled on my syno, one original from syno, one from tvheadend, and one from ffmpeg package from syno repo.

i use ffpmeg to segment files and stream live tv, using hls, and works flawless, but obviously the cpu usage is high.

mmmhhh, after following my own link, yes it does, i had a few tabs to ark.intel.com open as i wrote this, must have looked on a wrong/different tab as i compared it with the N3710

that 's what i took from the serviio syno package and posted here, ffmpeg is no option for hardware trancoding (atm), ffmpeg will use the normal cpu features and that means you need lots of cpu power if you want full hd transcoding (and thats usualy "only" h.264) to lower resolution

if you want hardware transcoding with dsm you will have to try the 916+ image (jun 1.02a2) or patch a synology kernel with ffmepg und complettly build (not just a kennel module) and implement it in dsm, don't know if anyone ever suceeded or even tryed that

the 916+ image might be working shortly, jun brougt it up so i expect he will make it work if it does'nt work with 1.0.2a2

Dont have thar encoder in any version.

To enable require libmfx.

Maybe we can compile it, and point ffmpeg to use-it.

https://github.com/lu-zero/mfx_dispatch

 

good luck with that, imho its about kernel patching and compiling, not just some libs

 

https://blogs.gentoo.org/lu_zero/

 

the same lu_zero aka Luca Barbato as in https://github.com/lu-zero/mfx_dispatch

 

- A machine with QSV hardware, Haswell, Skylake or better.
- The ability to compile your own kernel and modules
- The MediaSDK mfx_dispatch
...
MediaServerStudioEssentials2017.tar.gz
...
Kernel Modules
The patchset resides in:

opt/intel/mediasdk/opensource/patches/kmd/4.4/intel-kernel-patches.tar.bz2

The current set is 143 patches against linux 4.4, trying to apply on a more recent kernel requires patience and care.

The 4.4.27 works almost fine (even btrfs does not seem to have many horrible bugs).
...

 

i had a look into the MediaServerStudioEssentials2017R2.tar.gz

there are 147 patches in that directory and you only have kernel 3.10.102 with dsm 6.1 and not 4.4

...

 

under that condition i'm not even think about trying

Hi! Which one is more indicated for using with Plex Server? Is there a preferral DSM/bootloader to use with Plex?

My HardWare configuration is:

  • Mainboard Asrock H81M-HDS
  • CPU Celeron G1840 2,80GHz
  • Ram 4Gb DDR3
  • Storage 4HD 3Tb

Thanks!

found some interrsting detailed inforamtion about the hardware transcoding on intel based synology boxes

 

"...

DS214play and DS415play with Intel Evansport SoC are the only models supported. Serviio uses the multimedia tool FFmpeg for manipulating media files, and I am only able to build a hardware-assisted FFmpeg for DS214play and DS215play. Subsequent to those products, Synology has marketed a number of other systems with hardware transcoding features but these are not supported by Serviio. The DS216play with STiH412 Monaco SoC uses a specialised build of Gstreamer for the Synology transcoding solution, so its hardware features cannot be used by FFmpeg. It seems likely that Synology is also using Gstreamer for the Intel Braswell or newer generation CPUs with QuikSync, since DSM ships with an older FFmpeg (2.7.1) than the version which introduced QuikSync support (2.8.0). To implement FFmpeg QuikSync hardware transcoding support requires Linux kernel patches for libmfx support which is not currently included in DSM 6.x, so Serviio support for Intel QuikSync on Synology is unlikely unless Synology in future switches to using FFmpeg for its own hardware transcoding solution.

..."

https://pcloadletter.co.uk/2012/01/25/serviio-syno-package/

 

if someone plans to use ffmpeg in cooperation with Quick Sync Video, DSM 6 is no good, but the synology inegated hardware trancoding might work if the processor supports Quick Sync Video (up to now no reports about a running dsm 6.1 916+ image on non synology hardware)

 

According to Plex they now support hardware transcoding on Synology 64bit systems from DSM6 onwards. it's only for plex pass users, but possibly that might sort things out?

Want to try this with my system, but first need to go from DSM 5.2 to DSM 6, still havent pulled the trigger. 

 

Not sure though of it supports the 916, the 3615, or the 3617. I thought it was the 15, but can't find the info anymore.

As per my post in the loader thread I'm now running jun's DS916+ 1.02b loader and DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 1 on a Kaby Lake G4560 Penitum based system. From my very limited testing so far I cannot get hardware transcoding to work.

 

So far I've tried some videos with Emby server as there are reports of working hardware transcoding with DS916+ on the Emby forums with VA API set as the transcoder. There is no /dev/dri folder present under root so this doesn't execute.

I also run Plex server but don't have a Plex pass so am unable to test the Plex Hardware transcoding beta.

 

My next step is to check BIOS settings on my Asus B250M motherboard to confirm the iGPU is enabled correctly but unfortunately I don't have direct access to the machine until the coming weekend. I'm also unsure if the Kaby Lake quicksync version is backwards compatible with the DS916+ braswell N3710 version.

@l45er

I've installed the latest DMS 6.1 unter VMware Fusion (OSX system) with DS916+ settings. There's also no /dev/dri folder (which is used by Emby). I've copied this folder from my Openmediavault-server (if think DSM and OMV use the same kernel) to DMS with the proper permissions but after a reboot this folder was gone (deleted). I've tried several options but always after a reboot the folder wasn't there anymore. Maybe it has something to do with the virtual machine so I can't test it on bare-metal. Hope I will get a new PC in the near future to test again.

Well yes and no, Synology's kernel is full of backports and feature enhancements from newer kernels. They just like to have very strict control over what goes into their kernel and as a result their implementation is very fragmented and has doesn't have feature parity with your standard Linux distro.

 

Basically don't trust version numbers when it comes to Synology's kernel :smile:
