  1. I understood the ds916+ does do hw transcoding with Plex. The 3615 does not. In have the latter with a ASRock q1900 and no hw transcoding for me unfortunately. Thinking of going to the asrock n3150dc-itx with the ds916+. The ASRock supports Intel quick sync video so it should work!
  2. Were you able to get the DS916+ working on the q1900. I read it was not possible. I have tried to install it, but after the setup, I can't get assisstant to connect to the XPenology....
  3. thanks. success with 6.1.3, U3 on Q1900 with DS3615xs
  4. So, I am on a Q1900 with ds3615s. Currently working with a plex pass on the 1.8.1 version which supports HW transcoding, unfortunately, not in my combination of HW and SW. Is there anyone whom has tried the ds916 SW with a Q1900 and plex transcoding? Anybody have an idea if that could work or not?
  5. can you update from U1 to U3 in the DSM update section, or do we need to do something special?
  6. yes, and yes! I had 2X3 and 2X6tb in SHR
  7. I went from 5.2 to 6.1.3 in one go. used the guide from @Polanskiman: Used 1.02b and did not replace the etra.etza file
  8. What system do you have? I had to use the original extra.Izma file. maybe that would work in your case as well iso updating the file?
  9. successfully upgraded to 6.1.3 from 5.2 with Q1900!! Tested it first on an empty system (that took a couple of tries to get right; VID,PID,Network etc), after that, updating my production system took 5 min! all packages working like a charme
  10. 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.
  11. Wish I could join, but don't have any coding capabilities. Appreciate the effort thought, as I concur with your remarks.
  12. Is this the version with plex hardware transcoding? As far as i am aware that is only available for the 64bit intel system and only for plex pass users. Normal plex is indeed available for all, and in different versions
  13. Synology is now part of the supported list, but only for 64bits. Trying to get it to work, and will report back: Computer Mac OS X (10.9 or newer) Windows (Windows 7 or newer) Ubuntu (Intel 64-bit) Fedora/CentOS (Intel 64-bit) NAS NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 (Intel) QNAP (Intel 64-bit (QTS-4.3 or newer)) UnRAID (Intel 64-bit) ASUSTOR (Intel 64-bit) Thecus (Intel 64-bit) Seagate (Intel) Synology (Intel x64) WD MyCloud DL2100, WD MyCloud DL4100, WD MyCloud PR2100, WD MyCloud PR4100
  14. If you want to have plex and use the experimental transcoding feature you will need to use the 15. the 17 is not yet supported
  15. Thanks Filippo333 for the clear answer. So what you say is if I have a SHR, it will retain that configuration, eventhough a fresh system can not select SHR as a RAID option. It used to be an option as I started from scratch on the DS3615xs, and built the SHR on that with 4 drive (2x3tb and 2 x6TB so don't want to go to RAID 5 as that will cost 3TB of storage). Since DSM 6, it can no longer be selected as option in the DS3615xs, possibly still on the more consumer focused units indeed. Would be great to hear some feedback from others on the update route (5.2->6.1 or 5.2->6.02->6.1)
  16. Is it possible/wise to update in one go from 5.2 to 6.1. just tested it on a spare drive with 5.2 on it, and all went smooth, however before jumping to production two questions: 1. Will I retain the SHR setup? in the new 6.1 it is no longer possible te select SHR (unless you change the settings through synoinfo.conf 2. can I jump in one go from 5.2 to 6.1? or is it wise to install 6.02 first? thanks on a Q1900 with SHR and 4 HDD's
  17. Before going to my production system I wanted to test it with an old drive I still had lying around. It has an older version of DSM installed, however I forgot the password on it..... How can I reset the password with 6.1? Anybody have an idea? Have a Q1900. I have successfully uploaded the new DSM version and tried to migrate, however as mentioned stuck on logging into the system...

  19. same here. can't find it with the custom ramdisk, so reverted back to the normal one. will report back
  20. In my Case Raid has saved my system more than once after a power outage, or unexpected power off of the system, after which the partition(s)/drive(s) became corrupted... so will unfortunately stay on RAID. indeed very dirty, and will try am upgrade, but first will do a clean HDD to see if I can get it working correctly
  21. hmm, I think you are correct. and even if it would work, all packages still are not part of the system, so will need to be re-installed
