#SERVIIO 1.8 HOW TO#

Their first DSM 6.0 beta was released in October 2015, and the DSM 6.0 sources were only published in late November 2016, but these remain incomplete since the kernel sources are not included.Īlthough the unmodified FFmpeg source code will compile successfully for PowerPC CPUs, the FFmpeg binary will core dump when running any command on a video file. Synology took a very long time (over a year) to partly comply with the GNU Public License and release this source code, despite numerous support requests, forum posts, and reports to the GPL Violations team. This source is itself based upon a fork by Intel which seems to form part of the Evansport SDK.

#SERVIIO 1.8 HOW TO#

The notes below also detail how to compile the Synology fork of FFmpeg 2.7.1 with Intel Evansport SMD (Streaming Media Drivers) hardware transcoding support.

I’m also guessing that the OS will decide when to unload them from RAM which could help when FFmpeg is being launched repeatedly in a short period of time (e.g. Using shared libs means many concurrent instances of FFmpeg can use broadly the same memory footprint, and package distribution binaries can be smaller – our target systems already have libmp3lame, libm, libz, libbz2, liblzma, libpng16, librt, libgmp, libgnutls, libhogweed, libnettle, libfreetype, libfontconfig, libexpat, and libpthread which add up to several megabytes. The >10MB size of the static executable is kind of getting out of hand especially on embedded systems with very limited RAM. The target CPU architectures are ARMv5, ARMv7 hard float ABI, ARM hard float ABI with NEON, Intel i686, Intel i686 Evansport, Intel x86-64, and PowerPC e500v2. The same method probably works with many other Linux distributions. This method will build FFmpeg 3.2.2 for Synology DSM 6.0 with the shared libraries linked with relative paths, required for Serviio DLNA media server, using a Ubuntu/Xubuntu Desktop 14.04 virtual machine.
