Hi all:)
After a little bit of reverse engineering I was able to bypass the license checking mechanism introduced in DSM 6 successfully with a simple two line binary patch of synocodectool and therefore enable transcoding without a valid serial number[emoji4].
I wrote a little script to make it easier for everyone. For more information please check the github repo: https://github.com/likeadoc/synocodectool-patch
HOWTO:
1.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lik
Patching script updated with 7.1.1-42962-4
A new a little bit changed instruction:
1.) wget https://derbunov.ru/dsm_7.1.1_patch.tar.gz -O dsm_7.1.1_patch.tar.gz
2.) tar -xvf dsm_7.1.1_patch.tar.gz
3.) cd dsm_7.1.1_patch
4.) sudo ./start.sh
If you have already patched synocodectool it may be needed to restore backup with apriliars3's patch within dsm_7.1.1_patch folder. sudo ./patch.sh -r
