I will try to do some findings. Thanks.

Oh dear, how lucky I am hahaha... How can I know the chipset the dongle has? This is the one I bought: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B075JBH7Y1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.arotao.com/collections/usb-c-adapter/products/arotao-usb-c-to-ethernet-adapter-usb-3-1-type-c-thunderbolt-3-to-rj45-gigabit-ethernet-lan-network-adapter-1-indicator-for-macbook-macbook-pro-2017-imac-chromebook-pixel-and-other-type-c-devices And how can I know if 6.2 is compatible with this particular chipset. I see myself coming back to DSM 5.2 for second time

Hi, I switched from DSM 5.2 to DSM 6.2.3 and now it does not detect the USB LAN connection. With DSM5.2 it was working, I just plugged the USB LAN dongle, restarted and worked. But now with the DSM 6.2.3 I have repeated the same steps and it does not recognize any new LAN connection. Any idea?

Thanks!

Hi, I have a LAN port connected to the router and additionally I have a USB LAN dongle connected to the router with another CAT6 cable. If I test the speed on the LAN port, it works at roughly 1Gbps and that is perfect. If I test the USB LAN dongle it works at 300Mpbs, since my USB port is quite old. I have tried to create a Bond (Adaptative Load Balancing), but looking at the speeds when I download a file, the NAS clearly do not use the two ports in parallel, since the download speed stays for some time at roughly 1Gbps and then it goes down to 300Mb for a while and the it does the same for all the time, what means the NAS is swithcing between the two ports instead of using the two ports in parallel. Does anybody know how to do Link Aggregation so I can get one single connection with the sum of the two ports what would mean to have a total speed of 1300Mbps? PS: I have a Wifi6 router and a laptop Wifi6 card, both with 160Mhz band, so there is no 1Gbps limitation. Regards,

Hi @musclemperor, I just tried what you did and to use USB as a LAN worked for me. Unfortunately, my USB port is quite old and it performs at 290Mb/s only. What I am wondering now is if I could use a LinkAggregation with the USB and the actual LAN in order to have 290Mb/s + 1000Mb/s... I will try to find out how to do and I will come back.

Thanks!

Hi @musclemperor What did you do in order to be able to use the USB as LAN? Just to plug the USB dongle and that's it? My USB connector is very old (most probably 2.0) so I don't think I will get anyway good speed by doing that. I will give it a try anyway. Regards,

Hi, After having tried resetting the NAS from fabric and have the same result, I have given up and installed back XPEnology 5.2 and now I can stream 4K content perfectly. Regards,

Hi, I have activated the firewall and open all those port, but I have no luck, still the same problem... the NAS does not send data to the TV.

Hi Pmchan, My firewall is off, but I will try to active it and open those ports to see if that works. Regards,

Hi Dfds, Same result with DS Video... I don't know if I should open specific port, grant permission to any folder or do anything, but this looks so weird.

Thanks IG-88! I have tried with an iPad and an Iphone and same result, the NAS almost does not stream any data to the remote devices. I have even tried with a small file (720p) and the same result. It is so weird, because when I copy files with other computers and laptop I have at home it works at 113MB (maxing out 1Gbps LAN). I think that through DLNA you don't need to create nor use any account, but I don't know what else could I try...

Hi All, Some progress from my side… I was still unable to watch content using "Media Server" package. Therefore I decided to go in a different way by uninstalling "Media Server" package and installing manually Twonky server on the NAS… As Synology is just another Linux distribution, I have managed to install Twonky server through SSH on the NAS and I created a "Schedule task" in order to launch the Twonky Server each time I boot the NAS. All went perfectly fine. Unfortunately now, although I see the new media server in my TV (the Twonky server), when I play content, I am still in the same situation than before where the Synology does not send any data to the TV. This makes me think that the issue was actually not related to the "Media Server" package but to the NAS itself. Does anybody have any idea? Thanks.

- Outcome of the update: SUCCESSFUL - DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2-23739 - Loader version and model: Jun’s Loader v1.03b DS3615xs - Using custom extra.lzma: NO - Installation type: Custom PC Gigabyte EP43-DS3L, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @ 2666Mhz, 4GB RAM - Additional comments: Having to come back to DSM 5.2 version due to the fact that Media Server software does not work properly and I cannot watch 4K content on my Smart TV.

Any suggestion for an application to allow me watch my content in 4K? I bought 5 licenses on Twonky for my MyBookLive NAS, which I could try to install in XPEnology if anybody can give me a hand on how to do it.

Hi flyride, thanks for your answer. Here you are more information, that I agree, I should have said upfront. - Software used "Media Server", that is the name the application has in the Synology store. https://www.synology.com/es-es/dsm/packages/MediaServer - Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @ 2666Mhz - Memory: 4 GB - MotherBoard: Gigabyte EP43-DS3L - LAN 1Gpbs (Cat5e cable) - Current version DS3615xs -- DSM 6.2-23739 - 3 Hard disks 7.200 rpm working in RAID 0 with no security, no encryption, nothing at all, since I just use it for consuming media that I have a backup somewhere else. In the "Media Server" application I have all the transcoding options set to OFF, the same way I used to have when I was using it when I had XPEnology 5.2, since my TV is quite powerful to handle everything on its own. Keep in mind, that if I play the exact same file from my MyBookLive NAS (really basic and old NAS) it works perfectly in 4K. One important thing to comment here is that before I used to have XPEnology 5.2 (with the same hardware of course) and it was working perfectly in streaming 4K content, it has been since I installed XPEnology 6.2 when I started having issues. Now when I play content, the processor, memory and LAN activity is nearly 0%, it looks like the NAS does not know it needs to send data to the TV. And I think here is the issue and I don't know why. Any idea? Thanks so much!

Hi, I have a Custom Build XPEnology 6.2 with Media Server application installed in order to watch my media on my SmartTV LG. The problem I have is that it gets loading and after 5 minutes then it plays for 2 seconds and back again to load and again and again... I have my TV and my XPEnology connected to the LAN (1Gb) with CAT5e. I have tried to uninstall and install again the MediaServer application. I have tried to play on the TV the same media file but from another NAS I have (MyBookLive) and it works perfectly. I have reviewed the folder permissions and no luck. Does anybody know what I can try? Thanks.

Gracias

Hola, Tengo XPEnology (6.2) en un Custom Build con Media Server instalado para poder ver contenido multimedia desde mi smartTV LG. El problema es que se queda cargando y despues de 5 minutos cargando reproduce 2 segundos y vuelve a ponerse a cargar por otros 5 minutos y así... Lo tengo todo conectado por cable CAT5e. He probado a desinstalar Media Server e instalarlo de nuevo. He probado a reproducir en la TV desde otro NAS que tengo (MyBookLive) y va perfecto, incluso el mismo contenido. He probado a revisar permisos de carpetas. ¿Alguien tiene idea de lo que puede ser? Gracias.

Hola, Tengo instalada en un Custom Build la version 6.2 de XPEnology. La pregunta es si tengo que arrancar el ordenador siempre desde el USB. Cuidado que no quiero decir arrancar el ordenador con el USB conectado, sino arrancar desde el USB que es distinto. Gracias.
