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

Wow, That is a lot of music. 139,558 files @ 3 minutes per song translates to 290 days of music without repeating when played continuously :slight_smile:

  1. Uninstall 1.21.0.3744
  2. Install this.

Let’s give this a try. we stand about a 50/50 chance of success

if necessary I can remove a library of music, it doesn’t bother me at all

We will try that if / when it becomes necessary. I hope it won’t be.

I want to try to keep everything first

When this installs,

Give it time to start before opening.

It will be making a lot of changes to the database.

Watch for the CPU to return to low usage

Still a bit buggy with its connection though. It claimed several times that the connection is not secure. It pressed F5 in the browser and then it worked. Will keep an eye on this.
Also Plexamp at first couldn‘t access the library anymore. After some time I was able to first switch to Plex Podcast channel and then back to my Diskstation. Now it seems to be fine.

Thanks for your help!

If you’re using FireFox, switch –

The number of reports about Syno-FireFox incompatibility is growing pretty rapidly.

FireFox is “going through a rough patch” with their browser.



good its advance but now I do not understand

@Baignoire

Because you have two different server versions still hidden in there, I expected Plex.tv might not catch up quickly enough.

  1. Open an incognito browser window
  2. Now open http://192.168.1.33:32400/web in that window
  3. I expect it will want you to sign in / “Got It” / verify ownership.

I‘m using Safari on iOS.

yes http://192.168.1.33:32400/web = connecting

@tisler

Your certificate is fine on the server. Can you tell Safari to dump its cache?
What does the iOS app do?

I see where you deleted the 1.21.0.3744 server from your list.
Would you like me to delete it from Plex.tv ?

Also, would you like to clean up your local storage ?
(the hidden / temporary storage which 1.21.0.3744 left behind)

I see where you removed server 1.21.0.3744 from your list.
Would you like me to remove it from Plex.tv?

YES

Would you also like to clean up your local storage?
(the hidden / temporary storage that 1.21.0.3744 left behind)

YES

to help my server is it useful to install this type of memory?

Synology RAM1600DDR3L-8GBX2

it offers me this update PlexMediaServer-1.25.2.5319-c43dc0277-x86_64_DSM7 can I install it? or is it better not

It looks now as all seems to be fine. My music playlists reappeared and I‘m able to play songs from those lists.
Maybe it was a caching hickup at the beginning.
Therefore I suspect you solved my problem :slight_smile:
Thanks a lot!

  1. The DS1817+ , with the C2538 CPU, can be upgraded to 16 GB of RAM (2x 8GB). The newer J-series CPUs cannot be upgraded. They only support 8GB.

  2. Please ignore 1.25.2.5319 for now. It gains you nothing. You can turn off update checking if you wish.

  3. Please give me a moment and I will write a small Scheduled Task - User script to clean that up for you

The DS1817 +, with the C2538 processor, can be upgraded to 16 GB of RAM (2x 8 GB).

so mine can support the 16 go of ram that little anyway help or is this useless sacahtn that I am at 33 tb of library and that I can go up to 64tb?

Please give me a moment and I’ll write a little scheduled task - a user script to clean this up for you

thank you very much for your valuable and appreciated help

I put it on its way and keep you posted for the 16gb of ram its worth or not?

The extra 8GB of RAM will help a bit.

If you do this, I recommend having a matched pair.

I use Kingston RAM in my DS1815 without any problems.

Two of these will give you 16 GB.
