[NAS] Synology NAS owner club!

hmmmmm, i am trying to stream videos thru my PS3. some mkv file can play while some mkv file say file not supported. any idea how to solve this. using DS412+. able to install codec to solve this problem?

Your nas can do transcode.

 

[engshing]

how do i let ds412+ do transcoding of the mkv file??
currently, from wat i understand, it will remux some mkv file but if the video codec used is not recognised by ps3, the file will not be able to play. i am using the media server dl from the package center. shld i just use plex instead? or is there any other package out there which can be used to transcode mkv file

on another note, i have portforward all the ports and while i can remote access from my iphone using 3g, i can't seem to be able to access it remotely from my office network. any way to solve this?
i realise my problem is similar to the problem from this synology forum thread
http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=145&t=69711
guess might just be my office blocking the port

When is DSM5.0 release for update?

 

[radiancez567]

Currently using DS213j with only 1x3TB WD Red.

Thinking of getting another 1x3TB WD Red, and then do RAID 1 (each disk is a mirror of each other).

Would like to seek some direction on how to do the RAID. Appreciate your help in advance.

put the new disk in, go to storage manager, under volume 1, click manage, expand by adding hard disk, next all the way and there you go

just use SHR, next time you can swap to higher capacity drives without problems

either SHR or normal Raid, both work as what you needed.
SHR more likely is a hybrid raid works for different size of disk with 1 or 2 disk redundant, if your are starting to build a raid with a same size disk, just go for a normal type of Raid

quoting for easy reference. thanks very much would probably get the 3tb soon.

Can I get some help configuring synology NAS with asus RT-56U?

I'm on Myrepublic.

I cannot figure it out at all. I want to access my NAS from the internet. Tried running the ez-internet wizard on the NAS but I still cannot access from the internet, only directly via the diskstation:5000 address.

After running the ezinternet wizard and registering a domain name on synology's site, I still cannot access the NAS; I get a timeout when I go to 'mynas.synology.me'. I also tried accessing the numerical IP the wizard gave me but I get no response at all.

when I view the NAS status on the MyDS website, it returns a green status, and says the update time was 1 second ago. That would imply the NAS is reachable, but I can't reach it from my PC.

number 1, you are on myrepublic
number 2, you need static ip as myrepublic is on private dynamic ip.

 

[Sausage]

is there a step-by-step guide for myrepublic users on exactly what needs to be done? I'm not a techie.

I don't own an Apple TV. My Smart TV plays direct off the NAS.

Think you're better off getting a Smart TV box perhaps.

Hi all

just to check, does anyone use DS File on iOS and Android? I found that on iOS I can scroll thru pictures in my folders by swiping left and right, or by using the scroll buttons, but on Android the app does not have this function.

Damn tu lan!!!
