    Like Xpenology, QNAP SO porting

    The other transcoding use case is that you have your media stored on your NAS, but want to stream it remotely to your phone/tablet device. Depending on media format and device capabilities, you may need to have HW transcoding to be able to do that. This saves the headache of having to pre-download/convert media files prior to going to the gym/etc.

    I have an older qnap that is running xpenology. I agree QNAP traditionally has had stronger hardware in their boxes (why I went with them over synology the last time), but the SW side is lacking. They have been playing catch-up in many areas to synology in their OS, and their mobile apps (especially for apple) are limited compared to Synology.

     

    I guess it really comes down to how you are going to use it. Great transcoding, but if their mobile app is lacking, what are you going to play it on???

     

    One thing to note, I have seem many on the qnap forums getting the x53 families up to 16GB of memory (even though qnap/intel only say 8GB). While it is "unsupported" there are several posts about it working.

    NEW DSM 5.1-5004 AVAILABLE !!

    You're right. Few people know me and my work. I'll stop this sh*t.

    All donations will be refunded. Thank you, once again sorry.

    Maybe You or sancome or gnoboot helps, but I'm quit.

     

    Damn man, I know your work. It was your work on Qnology that originally brought me here. Really hope you decide to stick around. There are those of us that both know of and respect the work you've done. I wouldn't have XPEnology running on my QNAP without your guidance.

     

    I think we also lost a fairly important link in all the post deletions. This is the link to Vortex's work related to getting DSM 5.1 on Thecus: http://forum.thecus.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=8448

     

    I also am very familiar with Vortex's work from his QNology Qnap days and echo Jman's sentiments that I hope you will stick around and help with this Vortex.

    XPEnology DSM 5.0-4493 Discussion / Bootloaders

    in Readers News & Rumours

    Do not update with the DSM gui.

    You can use Nanoboot 5.0.2.2 but you have to alter the upgrade option in grub menu to 4493. You can also use new boot image.

     

    There appears to be an issue with the x64 4493 image file. I tried multiple ways of restoring it to a boot usb, but I kept getting non-bootable disk error.

     

    I ended up using the vfat image for 4482 and modified it for 4493.

    gnoboot & DSM 5.0-4482 - Experiences?

    There is a simple solution. BUY an actual Synology NAS.

     

    Absent of that, be thankful for the hard work that people like gnoBoot and Trantor put in to bring the synology platform to the rest of us. And yes there may be some speed bumps along the way, but lets get real... Synology owes us NOTHING as we haven't supported them through purchasing their product.

     

    Would I like the newest/latest/greatest update - sure.. but i don't feel ENTITLED to it.

    XPEnology gnoBoot

    Hello, now I`m trying gnoboot-alpha-10.5 and v10.4 directly on hardware (MB GA-EP-DS4). Installed latest DSM 5.0-4458. I have some issuses with that configuration.

     

    2. Unable to install Update 1 no matter if trying automatic or manual update. System loads update the saying that the file is broken.

     

    Any suggestions ?

     

    Thanks

     

    For #2, did you try the following:

     

    1) Click Download of update in DSM

    2) SSH into box as ROOT

    3) Run the following commands:

     

    sed ‘s/flashupdateDeb/flashupdateDeb1/’ /autoupd@te.info > /autoupd@te.info1

    mv /autoupd@te.info1 /autoupd@te.info

     

    4) Click UPDATE box in DSM

     

    That fixed my DSM update1 issue.

    4.3 issues

    in DSM 5.2 and earlier (Legacy)

    It would also be helpful to get a custom 4.3 ".pat" file for those of us running QNAP (leveraging all of Vortex hard work) who are not booting from USB, but have flashed our internal eprom. The USB route will be handy for initial testing, but would like to not have a dependency on it if possible. Well that and I am running out of USB ports :smile:

     

    Thanks again for all the hard work here.
