That's a great idea, and something I'd not tried until yesterday. Unfortunately, that yielded no more success. Hey man, thanks for the reply. I really love the work you do. So, you say "no point to use it". The main reason I wanted to use it was, as I said, to enable hardware transcoding for Plex Media Server. My device currently doesn't have a /dev/dri directory. From digging, I understood that this was because the only bootloader that supported transcoding was for the 916 version. So I guess I'm confused. Is the lack of /dev/dri specific to my bootloader, or is it more likely that I just don't have hardware to support it? Is there a specific way I can find out what hardware I have, and if I can get transcoding to work? I'll try that this weekend if time allows, see how far it gets on boot.

Bump. Anybody? Anybody have any idea why my NIC is detected on the 3615 bootloader, but not the 916+? It's the intel driver, e1000e, so I'm a little confused at what the issue would be. @jun @Polanskiman @IG-88

Also, CPU is core i3 4130 4th-gen, so it should support HW decoding? https://ark.intel.com/products/77480/Intel-Core-i3-4130-Processor-3M-Cache-3_40-GHz

Okay, so, long story short, I've been running xpenology for over a year on a Bosch DVR appliance I inherited. It's got a nice 4-bay form-factor, has an all intel-chipset, and has more or less just worked, as long as I didn't mess up my bootloaders. However, I'm noticing Plex playback is very laggy, especially now that I'm starting to add 4k to my collection, and I was hoping to remedy that. I've always ran the DS3615xs firmware...and in reading up on hardware decoding, noticed mention that the 916+ version supported said decoding. Currently running the latest beta by @jun "Okay, neat." I think. This shouldn't be hard. I download the new image, flash it to USB...it boots. But my device is not showing in synology web assistant or normal assistant, and I'm not seeing it on the LAN. It has a link light, but I have no further way of establishing if it's really online or not. Assuming *not*. The odd part is, I'd assume that if the 3615 loader would work on my Intel hardware, the 916+ wouldn't have an issue either. So, question being - does anybody know what I may be doing wrong, or if there's a NIC firmware that's different that is causing me to not be able to detect this? I've tried adding the extra drivers by @IG-88 as recommended by @Polanskiman, but that has not helped at all. Tried booting into all 3x versions in the grub menu, and my grub.config is otherwise identical to the old one, aside from referencing the new model version.

Running 6.1 on bare metal Intel hardware! All packages and services seem to be working correctly. Jun, YOU ROCK!!

Not dead, just haven't had time to devote to it yet. Don't worry people it is far from dead and will be released within a few weeks or less. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk How is the progress coming on this? I see it's been about a month. I've got a super-weird Bosch recording appliance that's been repurposed to run DSM 5.2 beautifully, but I'd like to get it running 6.0 or 6.1. Without too much looking at the PID's of everything, I see that it's running all Intel silicone for NIC, RAID Controller and most everything else. What Intel drivers are you including in this that aren't present in the available version of JUN's loader? WIth his, I get the "Sata errors have been detected and ports have been disabled" message. So, count me in the list of people patiently watching this thread for an updated version. If you need a tester, I'd be glad to volunteer.
