  1. Hopefully I'm not banned for discussing ARC loader but that is what i am using, specifically Arc-c sa6400 with x570 Taichi and 5900x no GPU.

    And ive tried all the loaders, but im testing ARC currently, so no need to recommend a new loader, but thank you for all your work!

     

    My problem is that i cant see trim options for any of my sata ssd volumes. i have Zero HDD's. 

    And apparently because im using Arc-"C" it does not have surveillance station patch so i must keep reinstalling it.

     

    • Is anyone running Sa6400 and have trim option enabled?
    • How can i make trim work please?
    • And how to fix surveillance station patch for this?

    [NOTICE]

    TCRP-mshell NMVe / MMC type media bootloader available function distribution

     

    This function has already been implemented in rr a long time ago.

    It was reflected a little late in mshell.

     

    It was difficult to obtain mmc and I didn't know how to create emmc by emulating it,

    so I put it on hold and then added the NMVe / MMC bootloader function.

     

    NVMe has been sufficiently tested and verified.

    MMC has asked Korean users to test it.

     

    Like the picture below
    This is an example of NVMe, but the information for the nvme0n1 device will be displayed instead, as shown below.
    Below that, in Friend, Loader BUS: nvme
    If you see , it is normal.

    Hi peter, sorry off topic but i know you dont like pm's

     

    I have a friend who needs a solution for a loader that will allow 40 or so drives plus LSI 9x00 HBA card.

    Do you have something like HD6500 with ability for HBA? Or at least know of something like this? possibly in RR?

     

    OR ANY loader in fact, that will allow 40 drives + HBA card?

    I'll ask the DJ since he's so friggin ACTIVE! YEAH!

     

    Whats "rr"  im seeing it quite a bit. And feel super left out

    Is rr like voldemort, we cant say the full name or we'll be slaughtered? i'm a googlin. not finding this "rr"

     

    Plus i just like DJ he reminds me of cloud guy for some reason.

    Hey dj_nsk you should consider this for your Sig 😃

    rr already stably supports mpt3sas on sa6400.
    Recently, mshell also adopted the latest version of the mpt3sas and r8125 modules.
    Stable operation has been confirmed in sas2008 and sas3008.
    I confirmed that rr and arc's mpt3sas are currently sharing the latest version, version 24.2.0.
    I think the only difference is the disks addon.
    As a result of verifying Arc's disks addon, this part was also working well.
    Share your disk list and /etc/model.dtb file while using the arc loader.

     

    Use the commands below.
    ll /sys/block
    cat /sys/block/sata*/uevent | grep 'PHYSDEVPATH'
    grep 'pciepath' /sys/block/sata*/device/syno_block_info
    grep 'ata_port_no' /sys/block/sata*/device/syno_block_info

    Wow thats great. Your always on top of things Peter.

    I havent gotten my 3008 card yet though.  Postal service said "weather problems" yet there is no bad weather within 500 miles of here!

     

    Thank you will do

     

    By the way im getting too old, or smoking too much funny grass, but what does "rr" mean again?    Release date etc?

     

     

     

  5. hello,

     

    im interested in an arc loader question hopennot to offend.

     

    I'm testing Arc loader on an AMD build and since Ark does not support HBA on epyc7002 sa6400 (the model i need) does anyone know how to make epyc7002 work with lsi 3008? or if it works already?  i would think getting mpt3sas to work on epyc7002 would be the answer.

     

    i need support for lsi 3008 hba sas to sata on epyc7002 please.

  6. Nevermind..Im putting this solution here for my own reference.

     

     

     

    Solution! FINALLY At least for Synology Photos Thumbnails with no real serial mac on hardware with NO IGPU!   5900x

     

    1. Created new synology account with new email on their website.
    2. Installed latest ARC loader plus patcher using defaults as SA6400. 7.2 latest update 4.
    3. Installed Advanced Media Codec package.
    4. Then go here and don't download anything just do (in ssh) what i circle in screenshot below -->https://github.com/wirgen/synocodectool-patch?tab=readme-ov-file

  7. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here....Nothing working for Creating Thumbs for HEVC vids in Synology photos.

    I Used Arc loader with patch. And was already had AME activated and signed in. But HEVC not getting thumbnails made in Syno Photos 7.2

    SO

    I used that guys script above, and selected "P" every time, then it said something about UN-installed the patch..

     

    What gives? are we dealing with pros or people just guessing and hosting crap on Github? Its like amateur hour.

     

     

    Need this for LATEST DSM UPDATE #4 PLEASE

    there used to be more patches for 918 and it was easier to find valid SN/MAC. Now, if you use the latest versions of the Arc loader, you can also use 920. 

    Both will work the same way. The only difference I noticed is that 920 understands working with NVME better (but there is also an addon in the bootloader for this).

    Will AME patch work with no IGPU on AMD?

    Installing the latest ARC loader patch,   the thing says DONT INSTALL synocodectool When using Arc Patcher.

     

    So what are you supposed to do if you have AMD CPU, NO IGPU, Want to use ARC Patcher AND Use this patch with SA6400?

    I don't think this will work.

    In my case, I had DS918+ SN and QC and migrated to DS920+.

    It means that there was no ban in this process alone.

     

    I have a couple things left to do guys and still using TCRP Friend by Peter Suh for new build.

    • I need to get my QC from 918+ working over to SA6400 machine , its not allowing me.
    • Then move 10 ssd shr over without issue.
    • Peter, are you suggesting that because the DS920+ is the Successor to the DS918+ is why QC still works? Like same family?
    • Now i need a solution for Creating video thumbnails for 4k videos that are HEVC

     

    Backing up 918+ now.

    Any suggestions?

     

    I want to just throw this all away and purchase new INTEL setup with IGPU. Frustrating.

    I'm sorry. Even though I knew that the 5900X was a model without an iGPU, I overlooked it.
    If you decide to migrate to a model other than DS918+, I recommend trying SA6400 instead of DS2422+.
    If you have an Intel iGPU in the original SA6400, H/W transcoding is easily handled.
    There is no need to install AME, nor does it require a genuine Serial or Mac. Codec patches are also unnecessary.
    However, I am also curious about how the SA6400 operates without an iGPU.
    If H/W transcoding is not possible, at least S/W transcoding should work.
    I also have Works that can be run with only a Xeon CPU without an iGPU.
    I will tell you the results of testing how the SA6400 works.

     

    I can confirm that running SA6400 with no IGPU on 5900x fully works with creating thumbnails. All 4k videos have thumbnails.

    EDIT! THIS IS INCORRECT ITS ONLY MAKING THUMBNAILS FOR 4k VIDEO THAT IS AVC,  NOT HEVC.

    What is WEIRD is that my DS918+ build with Real Serial Mac DOES convert 4k Hevc WITHOUT IGPU on X99 E5-2680v4

    The very scary thing that happened with this machine was, i built the loader with 2422. Somehow it got switched to SA6400. 

    Is there something in your tools that maybe "suggests" the proper loader based on hardware, then selects it?

     

    This really freaked me out.

    So what i just attempted was:  I used my real serial and mac from my original 918+ but now using SA6400 TCRP FRIEND new test build, of course i turned off the 918+,

    im able to login to Synology site from DSM but when i go to enable QC i get this error: I dns already set to 8.8.8.8. 8.8.4.4  so i dont know if i have to wait??

    Peter how did you get this working?

    I haven't followed the xpenology project for a while but I think the error is no real MAC/Serial and therefore license is not activated in AME - run through the install of the Wrapper - if you are <7.2, if 7.2+ sounds like you will have to fix the serial: https://github.com/darknebular/Wrapper_VideoStation#now-the-installer-has-the-ames-license-fix

    Wow, so full reinstall for codec? Those Chinese are really startin ta squeeze our lemons. Maybe if they put out some better, more exciting hardware with some real man balls to it, they wouldnt have to pinch all these pennies from us with buying their brand drives etc stupid people

    test only ==> Arc Loader with Arc Patch

    Just doing my due diligence here out of curiousity. I Can see an Arc loader here. https://github.com/AuxXxilium/arc/releases/tag/24.2.10

    and i see a LIST of patches here: https://github.com/AuxXxilium/arc-patches

    But i dont see an "Arc Loader with Arc Patch" any where. could you please point me to the patch portion or is it included? I'm a lil lost

    As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the video thumbnail in the photo requires an AME with a SA6400 license.
    With these results, it can be said that there is no difference between SA6400 and DS2422+ for this purpose only.

     

    And one tip: if you have at least one genuine Sn/Mac, QC will be maintained even if you change the model.

    I don't know if I'm lucky, but I haven't been banned yet.

    Wait,Wait,Wait,WaitWait,WaitWait,WaitWait,WaitWait,WaitWait,WaitWait,WaitWait,Wait

    You must be joking.... What does this entail? THIS IS AMAZING? But how to go about using ds918+ Serial/MAC on something else like dva3221? This is crazy?

    This begs one question ONLY from curiousity, could one use 1 set serial/mac on 2 different machines at same time? And Keep QC?

     

    More importantly, is SA6400 so much better than others? I have never heard of this. Is it great? I will trust you and do it if you say it the best.

    You mention SA6400 and IGPU in prior post, but i hope you remember i dont have igpu so i hope this works my friend!

    You don't seem to have looked at my answer carefully.
    Transcoding from bare metal to AMD iGPU is not possible.
    This includes transcoding all media.


    It's not just that video transcoding like plex is impossible.
    Photo transcoding that works with i915.ko is also included here.
    AMD clearly has some things to give up.
    Think again.

     

    In the server forum in Korea where I work, for AMD transcoding,
    I recommend proxmox + lxc solutions.
    lxc says that AMD iGPU can also be used for transcoding.
    I also have no actual installation experience.


    Some users are only providing information about the possibility as shown below.
    If translation is possible, please refer to the search results below.

    https://svrforum.com/index.php?mid=nas&act=IS&search_target=title_content&is_keyword=AMD+lxc

     

     

    Yes, i dont know if you realize, but i have ZERO IGPU. 5900x has no IGPU it would have to do with software. Which i know software can do this transcode because i have an Intel machine with no IGPU, XEON, and it software transcodes the files for video thumbnails only. Or maybe it USED TO until i updated yesterday?  Oh no, i hop its not bad news.

     

    Ok well, though defeated, while i am here asking for help,  does anyone have any ideas in their heads on how i can get the serial # format of DS2422+?

    Question #1
    -> If it doesn't work on DS918+, it seems that the NIC is not responding in the first place.


    Question #2
      -> Even if you do not necessarily use the latest version .img, the latest Friend kernel is always automatically updated to the latest version.


    Question #3
    -> I have not been able to check the Synology_HDD_db script that was recently changed by 007revad. We encourage you to continue using it as you do now.
     

    Question #4
    -> Container manager was called Docker in the past. Docker is supported on all platforms. If there are Docker issues that arise from migration between models, I don't know exactly.


    thank you

     

    Thanks a bunch Peter.

     

    I got everything setup on the AMD system you have me the confidence!

    Everything is PERFECT! 

     

    With one exception. Im getting AME Codec errors now.

    1 of 2 MAIN things i use Synology for, the #1 most important is my families Photo management, AND my boss at work absolutely MUST HAVE this working for work, now using Synology Photos.

    This new test machine is not using my REAL serial and mac and cannot right now but later possibly.

    So i Pray to the Linux gods (Peter, etc) they can help me with the issue with Advanced Media Extensions in attached images.

    I simply need this machine to create thumbnails for videos, and it wont because of no serial mac. Causing repeated errors as im sure you are all familiar. I do have 2 Paid Serial/macs from SYnology, but those can not be used for this testing.

     

    So for testing i need to use tools like these to make Synology think its real serial/mac since now the AME is attached to serial mac.

     

     

    Bottom line i tried one or both of these tools, but may have done it wrong, still errors or tools wrong NOT TCRP Friend.

    I'm using latest TCRP Friend by Peter Suh (AND I WILL STAY USING PETERS LOADERS) on AMD platform (1st time for AMD)  5900x b550 DSM 7.2.1-69057 Update 4 with DS2422+



    TO SKIP MY LONG EXPLAINATION JUST START READING FROM HERE:

     

    These are tools, cracks ( for me only temporary) for XPEnology and Synology without needing or using AME's license.

    https://github.com/wirgen/synocodectool-patch?tab=readme-ov-file

    https://github.com/darknebular/Wrapper_VideoStation

     

    Which of these tools is best solution  to solve this? Or maybe is there  a newer or better method please share, i just need to solve this while i test other parts. I also need to find out the proper format for DS2422+'s  Serial Number is.  Like (e.g. XXXXPDNXXXXXX for DS918+, XXXXODNXXXXXX for DS3617xs, XXXXLWNXXXXXX for 3615xs)

     

     

    Thank you for your past comments peter and folks, and please help soon!

    Could someone  just remind me what this means when having issues with the advanced codec install?  (hevc etc)

    "Failed to play or display music or videos due to a codec activation error. To fix this issue, check your Internet connection."

     

    I can go and find what to do, just need reminder. Installed to new hardware today with no REAL serial/mac so..

     


     

    There's a great fix for these things over here for dsm 7.2 , https://github.com/darknebular/Wrapper_VideoStation

    but not quite sure if that's what i need yet.

     

    Thanks!
