miicker Posted June 23, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2017 I wanted to activate push service, so I receive push notifications on my phone. I always used it on my old DS216Play, and wanted to use it again on my XPenology setup. When I try to activate the push service I get an error like: "Could net send the information from the DiskStation to the Synology Push Service Server" (I don't know the exact error in English, because it is showed to me in Dutch. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoID Posted June 24, 2017 Share #2 Posted June 24, 2017 The push service is an abuse of Synology's services and shouldn't be used. Use email instead. If you really want notifications on your phone you can also make a small script in python that receives the email and forwards it to your phone using Pushover or similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! You need to use a real pair serial number / MAC for your xpenology server. Only in this way work Push-notifications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miicker Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted June 24, 2017 Alright, so I would need a valid serial and MAC, but that is a violation of the terms of Synology's DSM if I understand correctly. So it's also not allowed over here to ask how I can get a valid pair for DS3617xs, or is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so that I am thorough, using these loaders is one thing as it doesn't involve modification of any binaries, yet we are in a grey area. Cracking Synology proprietary software and abusing Synology's servers (QuickConnect or push services) is yet another step and that is something that XPEnology Devs do not support nor do I.

Xpenology becomes much less compelling to many people (including myself) Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surveillance Station. There are other alternatives. Even on a real Synology you need to buy licenses over 2 cams. Push services. Along with Quickconnect those two have always required a valid pair of SN/MAC. Nothing new I would say. There is so many other things that one can do with an XPEnology box. If the above is what you need the most then maybe using a real Syno would be the way to go or maybe digging a bit more on google might yield some goodies...

Agreed, I use No-IP and that works a treat! I don't know much about Surveillance station, but I guess that's okay if you need to buy licenses for it. Also I had a real Synology for a day or too (DS1515+) and it was just way too underpowered to do my Plex 1080p video transcoding; so I have no choice other than to stick with my i3 6100 system personally. Don't feel like shelling out close to £2500 for a NAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I know of is the conversion of media files when using PhotoStation. That also requires a valid serial/mac since version 6.0.

miicker Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share #11 Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks for the replies, I will just accept the fact that these functions cannot be used within XPenology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chege Posted July 2, 2017 Share #12 Posted July 2, 2017 Maybe something is changed lately, but few months ago, when synology released dsm 6.1.1 i could use push notification w/o problems and i didnt need sn/mac other than used in xpeno loader. My setup was on esxi 6.02, and notifications received on android phone. I did nothing more than turn it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elpee Posted July 13, 2017 Share #15 Posted July 13, 2017 Fair enough, I have 2 IP cameras and want to setup surveillance station on my current XPEno. How can I buy the licenses from Synology? Do you think it will work? If it's not allowed to talk here, pls PM me where people talking about surveillance station setup on XPEnology. Thanks.

This is off topic. Also that question has been asked in the forum several times. Search the forum please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
