Re: Asset Upnp for Synology?

Hi MartinGr,

Can you help me to install it using a MAC? I don't have a Windows PC.

Yes, and then after 30 days I need to pay money. But I don't get the same aftercare. A statement like "if you can install it and run it, we'll support it." seems fairer to me.

You don't need to pay. It's up to you and it's your personal decision to buy a software, that is not supported for your hardware.

I agree with Dat Ei. The software is not supported for Synology, so the decision is yours. No-one is forcing you to buy Asset.

Fairer? You expect a service that you did not and can not pay for, because nobody has offered this service.

After reading this thread, it seems very clear to me.

"No current plans to release for Synology" and "Asset is not officially supported for Synology"

That does not mean you can't try it though.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology?

My point is merely that Illustrate is causing a grey area. On the one hand they sticky a thread on the company's forum that describes how to install AssetUPnP on Synology for ARM. On the other hand, they won't support it. Yet, through the link they indicate there is some support. So, how far does that go? No standard packaging and icons and all that. But there is support to install it. Does that also mean that when it installs but in the future there is a problem, there is help? Or no help? Or a little bit of help? And now we have gone from a categorical "not supported" to a "we try to enable on as many platforms as possible". So, what is the next step? Full support? Will this be it? Create clarity, communicate the plan.

But isn't it so, that those people would buy deliberately a software for an unsupported hardware and platform? Hmm...

On the other hand, Illustrate is charging money for software it will then not support? Hmm...

On the one hand it is good Agent works on Synology Arm. On the other hand, Illustrate is charging money for software it will then not support? Hmm...

In the consumer market Synology and Qnap are equal in sales based on the numbers I have seen.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology?

I get all the way until the end and then when I type ./AssetUPnP I get the message...

-ash: ./AssetUPnP: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Using a RS812+. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Think I've worked this out for myself. I'm trying to run an executable compiled for an ARM architecture on x86-64 architecture doh.

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology?

good news for owners of Intel-Based Synologys!
just got my DS216+ and first thing i did was to install the "asset Upnp debian intel 64bit installer" following oldrockers instructions, and it works perfectly!
only thing to add is that i do not get acces to my nas via SSH as root at first, its always neccessary to login as admin first, then type "sudo -i" and therafter you will have root acces, what is needed to copy the asset.conf into the init folder.
i was not able to make this with winscp (because not knowing how to swicht from admin to root inside the running program), i just copied the asset.conf file via SMB (windows) into the music folder (used by ausiostation), startet putty, logged on as admin, switched to root, and copied the filde via "cp /volume1/music/asset.conf /etc/init" to the init folder, thats it.
thanks for your help guys!

Re: Asset Upnp for Synology?

thanks oldrocker, your posts let me hope that it might work.
what i want to know is if u think wether it might work or not to install the debian intel 64 bit package on the ds216+, im asking because DSM isnt a debian distro.
btw: for those having problems with getting root acces to the DS, before loggin in as root you have to login as admin (via SSH) and type: "sudo -i", thereafter you will be logged in as root, otherwise access will be denied.
kind regards

Hi hecaitomex!

I haven't done it until now. I'm not so familiar with Linux and have to prepare myself before doing this but got no time doing it. When finished I will post it here, but you have to be patience. - sorry for that.

best regards
