Synology: DSM 7 Installation Archive -- Archived from main thread

There is a “simple” solution but it has many steps all of which must be done correctly to ensure you don’t lose your existing metadata and watch history

In a nutshell, DSM 7 changed, and broke, everything we know about apps on DSM.
To make PMS work on DSM 7 required a complete rewrite of the package itself, its control scripts and how PMS works on Synology as well.

I have a HOW-TO which was written early on.

I urge you to read the first part and understand what changed (you’ll need that info later).

Then, in the next post is a DSM 6 → DSM 7 migration procedure.
Follow it.

The installer will give you feedback if it finds anything it doesn’t like.
Please read the message banner after every install (or attempt – you will need retry once at minimum which is expected)

PLEASE ask before doing .

It’s far easier to explain than clean up afterwards

NOTE: The DSM 7 package supports 8 different languages now.

Set your NAS to “French” and the package will give you all prompts and messages in French.
