I used the extra.lzma/extra2.lzma for loader 1.04b ds918+ DSM 6.2.3 v0.13.6. I added  a 1G nic(intel i210)  and it can't be driven either.

i210 is driver igb.ko, that nic is part of my test hardware, so i know the driver is working properly

my assumption would be that also the 8125 driver is working and you have another problem

there are numerous reasons why you cant see it in network, a driver problem is just one of many (cable/switch problems, no dhcp server, ...)

 

1st check with a live linux that you can use the network connection with the intel nic

i'd suggest try just jun's loader 1.04b as it comes without any modifications, just replace the extra and extra2 on the 2nd partition and try to boot it up (connected to the intel nic), if that works start chnaging the grub.cfg (usb vid/pid)

[IG-88]

the gpu would be 0x9BC8, there at least one positive plex feedback

check if there are devices in /dev/dri

did you tra as spk package or docker?

try to user syno's videostation for testing and use this patch

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/24864-transcoding-without-a-valid-serial-number/

on my i3-9100 i tested jellyfin 10.7.7-4 with ffmpeg 4.3.3-39 and it worded in general (not that good as it often drops out after seeking manually and there is always one core blocked by ffmpeg with 100%)

 

in general the driver part ends if there are devices in /dev/dri, nothing i can do about fails with newer cpu together with one or all player software

patching the device into the driver is the best i can do, as long as synology does not integrate a new i915 driver or anyone backports one it will stay like that

maybe there will be a 920+ successort with elkartlake and synology makes an newer driver (and publishes kernel source)

only alternative is nvidia

i just had someone with a r8125 card and the latest driver in extra918plus_v0.13.8 is working as expected

Hello @IG-88

Do you can upgrade the download ling for "extra.lzma for loader 1.03b ds3617 DSM 6.2.3 v0.12_test (2/2022)"? The file on the link is "v0.11.6_test". I would like test the CD-ROM.

Thank you.

[Xpenilogy10700]

So I’m the first 10700?

Asus B560m + DSM7.0.1-42218up2

ls /dev/dri shows the igpu

hardware transcoding NOT working properly for Jellyfin 10.6.4 or 10.7.7, will tweak more later

hardware transcoding works for video station after setting set properly

 

Tips: stay away from MSI or Gigabyte motherboards, that’s from my experience and what I saw during the past two weeks.

 

I believe DSM6.2.3 will be very similar regarding the hardware transcoding. I started from 6.2.3 but ended up with 7.0.1 and am happy about it now. I strongly believe most people have the motherboard issue or improper settings.
 

10th gen CPU should all work with hardware transcoding.

what counts is the device id of is and its 0x9BC5 (to be found in log or can be looked up on ark intel)

in general with 8 cores and HT you should disable HT in BIOS to get best performance with 918+ (that one hast a 8 cpu thread limit)

beside this thread here being about 6.2.3 (and you refer to 7.0.1)

the feedaback on 9bc5 with the 6.2.3 patched driver was

"one user negative feedback for a i9-10900 (8086:9BC5) system does not boot anymore - seems to be a solid hands off?"

and if you used 7.0.1 without any added driver i wonder how its going to work

there might still be the i915 firmware present when you updated from 6.2.3 but the i915 driver in 7.0.1 would not have support for 9bc5 as its back to syno's default driver and and would only support whats listed in the 1st post (iGPU device ID's supported by synology's i915 driver) and 9Bxx devices are not among these

if you see anything in /dev/dri that would mean there is somthing working and that would be very strange

can provide a part of dmesd log where i915 driver is loaded?

not sure what problems you had but i cant say anything negative in general about these two brands

why? my statement would be more cautious like "they might work"

without a proper driver (the one from synology is from 12/2017) you gpu will not be recognized you transcoding will be done by raw cpu power (and that can be challenging for a 4 core cpu with 4k material as source)

handling a newer gpu as a older (by patching the driver for a device or using a driver made from source doing that in a better way but still is handling a delicate thing with a steam hammer) and  using old firmware might easily result in problems

 

please provide some logs, i'd like to see how the 7.0.1 driver handles you gpu

Good evening.

I will briefly try to present the problem I ran into after many hours of detailed study here.

I already own a Synology 418play NAS but due to the fact that some of the movies I own on it are in 4k Bluray format I decided to create a more powerful one to be able to use Plex HW of an i7 processor.And from here the study began to create it. By a lucky mistake I bought the motherboard and the processor before studying if I could use them. Luckily for me it seems that I succeeded somewhat.I use Asus Z370i with i7 8700. I managed to quickly generate the 1.04b boot stick and the installation of DS 918+ went really fast in the conditions in which I had not yet studied very well if and what to install on the side the hardware they own.Only after the installation with version 6.2.2 went, I upgraded to 6.2.3 _ 25426 and it also went ok. Later I managed to add an NVME SSD with the launch of the necessary script, it works perfectly, although I noticed that for the transcoding part it is not very helpful.From this moment all my attention was directed to the transcoding part. With the extra / extra 2.izma initial files I didn't manage to use HW plex transcoding. The processor could easily transcode a single 4k channel at 1080p, but it was in 80% usage .After a few more hours of study, I understood, or at least I hope I understood, that the whole part of HW transcoding could be activated by changing drivers.Consequently I downloaded the new drivers (extra918plus_v.0.13.8) and I replaced both .izma files on the second partition of the boot stick easily. Previously I emptied the / modules / update / directory with the command rm -rf / usr / lib / modules / update / *. After the restart I noticed that I can use HW transcoding and the processor was used with a maximum of 35%.This is where the problems started. When I use HK transcoding from 4k to 1080p it buffers every 30 sec. This doesn't happen when I use transcoding without HW support. I guess it could be a driver that is not doing its job properly.Can anyone help me with some advice? I mention that there is an NFS connection between the two synology, the videos being on 418play.

 

Thank's alot,Mihai

your problem was that you still had jun's old driver from 6.2.2 and that was blocking the newer driver from synology in 6.2.3, the new extra/extra2 for 6.2.3 removes the old drivers in .../update/ and also places the right i915 firmware files to make full use of the i915 driver (synology only packs whats needed for apollo- and geminilake)

as you choose a "older" cpu the pci id of the iGPU is already in syno's default driver (0x3E92) and if the driver starts and you have the needed firmware in /lib/fimrware/i915 it will work as intended

1st try to copy your test file to the new nas so you will have replay from local file system and verify that the problem still occurs

next would be do try syno's own videostation (it needs a patch to get rid of the serial number check)

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/24864-transcoding-without-a-valid-serial-number/

depending on the outcome you can rule out some causes

 

[SCMO]

Good morning.The first thing I already did was move the test file to a local folder on the new NAS and I have the same problems.

I eliminated this cause from the beginning, because in the case of direct play 4k (gigabit network between the two NAS and WAN too) the new NAS managed to handle a constant traffic of over 9-10 MB/sec without any issues.I will try to use syno's videostation as well.The serial number is real (that of the old NAS) and was edited in the boot file after I tried to play with the Moments application and did not do the correct (or rather not at all) rendering of the movies for preview.There are many things I've worked on on the old NAS and I'm somewhat familiar with some of the applications and when I noticed that  on the new one doesn't work properly, I started searching the forum to find out the cause.I will try to use videostation and if necessary I will launch that patch for serial number and I'll keep you posted on what happened next.

 

Hello again. I'm back with new information. Video station (DS Video) works perfectly on mobile (VLC player) after a few freezes at first until it  make buffers, I guess, but unfortunately I only managed to use it with Direct Play (10-12 MB / sec) and with a maximum of 1% processor load.In the DS Video settings the video conversion is ON and the playback quality is LOW (speed first). I have no idea where I could force HW transcoding.Which is true, I didn't use DS Video on the old  NAS either, because from remote location I tried to use Kodi (Direct Play) and on TVs without android or Linux where Kodi can't be installed (Samsung, LG) with Plex.

 

I think I found the reason why plex does not buffer properly when using HW transcodes. After several attempts if I unselect the "Enable HDR Tone Mapping" movie runs without other interruptions and the processor load decreases considerably (maximum 1-6%).

 

Thank's again,Mihai

Sorry to disturb you，

I use the i3-10100 + Colorful b460i + Intel i350t2 network card.

I can install Jun 1.04b+ for 6.23 for 918+，everything display normally,

However, by using SSH and enter "ls /dev/dri", display "No such file or directory",

There is no change in replacing "extra.lzma" and "extra2.lzma",

Replace i915's 9BC8 ds918-6.23up3, boot normal display, but can't find IP in the network

I've tried many times，but it still doesn't works.

How can I solve this problem？Thank you again, hope to reply.

 

Just wanted to post this for documentation. The kernel is crashing that's why you can't find the IP. I have a similar setup to yours. Colorful B460M (battle ax v20) and an i3-10100. I got it to work on 7.0.1.-42218 (I haven't tested in 6.2.3, but I'm sure it would work too), transcoding is working as expected. You need to disable VT-d, and enable UEFI for VideoOpRom if you have CSM enabled. For the VT-d part there's no option in bios so you need to modify the bios with AMIBCP or something like that and then flash it over your current one.

https://www.sybausa.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=157

Marvell 88SE9235 and thats ahci compatible and should work ootb with synologys kernel (without any driver)

hard to say whats going on, there are not much differences between 61. and 6.2 when looking for the kernel and drivers

provide a (complete) dmesg log (/var/log/dmesg)

i guess it must be something different then a driver problem, more a drive placement problem where ports are ignored, like being above 12 ports or using SataPortMap/DiskIdxMap the wrong way

When I boot usb and it starts to load the kernel I get a hard lock.  The power button is the only way to turn it off.

It says 915i is required and loads fine but when I reboot it hard lock

 

I tested with the mellanox extension (connectx3) and without same thing hard lock

 

I plan to test older apollolake builds

 

Is there any hope for i5 8600K?

synology uses the same i915 driver in 6.2.3 and 7.0.1 and its both kernel 4.4

0x3e92 is native supported by that original driver and its very unlike to hold the boot process (especially with 3622 as this one does not even has a i915 driver)

whatever your install problems are its not related to the cpu/gpu

 

as this thread is about 6.2.3 and your problem is about 7.0.1 and more of a general install problem i'd suggest to open a new thread here

https://xpenology.com/forum/forum/38-dsm-installation/

 

it needs more information about the hardware like systemboard, added controller (like the mellanox or adaptec you mention) with pci id'd (lspci -v)

my guess for the adaptec would be aacraid as driver lets see for the pci id in your new thread

Hi eveyrvody,

 

I got my hand on another Asus P8H67 M LE and was trying to install loader 1,03b but can't find it in the network. Figured out that unfortunately the board is UEFI only.

Is there e workaround to get legacy run with this board anyway?

 

Went with 1,02b and got it run. Since I do have an Asus c100c I went for extra.lzma 4.9_test and put it on the 30MB partion on my bootstick but it turns out that I'm not able to get the card run (lights not flashing). The onboard NIC runs fine.

 

Does somebody know what to do to be able to use the c100c?

Hi,

I have a PC running DSM6.2.3 (DS3617xs) with Jun's loader 1.03b (bare metal, no ESXi or PVE). It's working fine without any problem.

The spec is: CPU: AMD 5350, MB: Asrock AM1B

 

Now, I am thinking about adding a TP-Link TL-NG421 PCIe NIC. Is IG-88's "extra.lzma for loader 1.03b ds3617 DSM 6.2.3 v0.12_test" a correct choice? Will there be any further update? Does anyone have tried TL-NG421 PCIe NIC on DSM 6.2.3?

try tinycore rp loader, uefi should be no problem with DS3622xs+ and the the asus 10G nic should work too

thats a 2.5 realtek nic and that driver stopt compiling against syno's old 3.10 about 2 years ago, there is a r8125 in the extra.lzma you used but its not recent and will only work with older revision of r8125 based cards, i'm not able to fix that kind of problem so there will be no newer driver for that nic

your best shot would be to change to tinycore rp loader, in dsm 7.x all the models in the loader use 4.4 kernel (only exception is 3615, thats still 3.10) and it compiles fine with kernel 4.4, so try 3622, there are no limits for older cpu's with that

for all with newer coffeelake cpu's like i3 9100 having problems using hardware transcoding in video station and /dev/dri persent

 

looks like the problem it within video station 2.4.7 and below

synology has a newer version 2.4.9 that came out after dsm 6.2.3 (and its new i915 driver mainly for geminilake x20+ systems)

https://archive.synology.com/download/Package/spk/VideoStation/2.4.9-1626/VideoStation-x86_64-2.4.9-1626.spk

 

the patcher for codecs and transcoding (https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/24864-transcoding-without-a-valid-serial-number/) still works with this version

 

to get dts/truehd audio to work it needs a wrapper, external ffmpeg and patching the libsynovte.so from video station

the steps (including the patch above for serial number problem) need to repeated when a new video station version is installed

a description for the dts/truehd audio fix is here:

https://gist.github.com/BenjaminPoncet/bbef9edc1d0800528813e75c1669e57e#gistcomment-3119240

this is the ffmpeg i used

https://synocommunity.com/package/ffmpeg or newer version https://github.com/th0ma7/synology/tree/master/packages

 

BUT: if the external ffmepg is used with the wrapper the hardware transcoding fails, might be a problem with the wrapper or the ffmpeg

so you need to decide between dts/truehd or hardware transcoding (at least for now)

 

just in case the link gets invalid here is the text and i will attach the wrapper file that is downloaded
