That looks OK. Are you able to attach both binary

1. synoame-bin-check-license
2. libsynoame-license.so

Remind me which synology version are you on. Ill check if the binary has been patch

[zexx]

Hi zexx,

I have checked both the binaries. Everything is as expected and nothing is unusual. synoame-bin-check-license is patched.

I managed to execute my amepatch.py on a new install of DVA1622. Everything is working correctly. can you try to uninstall AME and reinstall ?

Hi,

 

maybe  synoame.log will be usefull:

I have seen exact same entries on my log before activating the patch for AME. These are normal entries. FYI, I'm using random MAC address generated by my ESXi and the VMware workstation for the clean install DVA1622. SN is also auto generated by arpl. No custom setting here.

I uninstalled AME2 , rebooted and  tried to reproduce:

Unfortunately, I was not able to replicate your errors on my DVA1622. have installed both mediaserver and the videostation so I can get as close as possible to your setup. I'm still getting successful patch. Here is my screenshot.
 

Your setup must have some condition which breaks the library. Do you have any addons from arpl ? I didn't have any, plain vanilla setup in my arpl test.
are you able to test this library? I have added an additional NOP to the library. Since I'm not able to debug the the condition myself and replicate your errors. I'm only able to guess wildly the condition in the library. You have to test the libsynoame-license.so from the attachment I have added. Replace the existing library ( I'm not 100% it will work, give it a try. )

libsynoame-license.so

Hi,

Thanks for help, problem was fixed by adding "netif_num=2" to cmdline (looks like arpl-i18n skip this parameter by default)

Also  i can confirm, that on  DSM 7.2.1-69057  patches also works:


 

Edited September 28, 2023 by zexx

[zexx]

some details:

 

# strace ./synoame-bin-check-license  2>&1 | grep netif
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/sys/kernel/syno_internal_netif_num", O_RDONLY) = 3

without parameter "netif_num=X" in cmdline syno_internal_netif_num will return "-1"  , i think that this check should be added to patches

Then If I do this:

strace ./synoame-bin-check-license

I will have -1 result?

 

and If I do this:

strace ./synoame-bin-check-license 2>&1 | grep netif

I will have 0 result?

 

It's correct this?

[zexx]

No,

right :
 

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/syno_internal_netif_num
2

and patch works )) , it defined by "netif_num=X" in kernel cmdline

wrong:

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/syno_internal_netif_num
-1

 

[wjz304]

cat /proc/cmdline

easy patch request, can be done. However, question is do we need this ? I didn't put in netif_num in the parameters. How did mine work ?

You need:

• CPU + integrated GPU
• DS918+ or DS920+ (see here - transcoding)
• valid SN/MAC or synocodectool-patch

codec patch file from the above quote and AME 3.0 patch from wangsiji solves my Synology photos transcoding issues, thxs for all your work @wirgen @wangsiji and @dj_nsk for posting the links!

 

wangsiji AME 3.0 patch i got from here

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/65643-ame-30-patcher/

 

now after the codec patch, videos take a longer time to load on mobile and mobile web browser I do not see any delay in pc/tv and also ended up with AAC grayed out in AME 1.0.0-00001 and won't update to 1.0.0-50001

good morning, did you manage to resolve this? i have exactly the same issue. Im unable to login to synology account INSIDE dsm. For example control panel > synology account. Or: Package center > Advanced Media Extensions > Open > Login with synology account. When i click, nothing happens.  

Im on ARC 23.10.5

[pitiriguisvi]

udpated ARC to latest version. 

Rebuild WITHOUT AMEPATCH

boot synology to dsm
reboot to arc
reactivate AMEPATCH

boot synology to dsm

 

now amepatch is working and im able to login to synology account inside dsm

[ue23]

For me this worked for the newest 7.2. under DS918+

You will need to use my Wrapper and use the AAC codec like EAC3 or DTS... With my Wrapper you will be able to play it.

Can someone write all the commands to enter in the SSH console from start to finish? I tried several times and unfortunately it stops at the installation option. I can't move on. Regards
