Hi all, I'm new to this forum and Synology products. I've just purchased a DS1511+. Great product. I'd been running PS3 Media Server http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/ on a Ubuntu VM on my MacMini and decided to try moving it to the DS1511.
Big thanks to this post http://www.panticz.de/PS3-Media-Server- ... DS411-plus for pointing me in the right direction. There were a couple of little mods to do to make sure I had the latest versions and I had to modify my PMS.conf file but it works. I'm now streaming from the DS1511 to the PS3.
Anyway, here's the steps to do. If you want to you could copy and paste everything below the DS1511 root login in a pmsinstall.sh file and execute it as a script but I prefer to step through it.
I'm using the latest version of PMS, 1.23.0.
- Code: Select all
# login as root to your DS1511
ssh root@<YOUR_DS1511_IP>
# download lastest java
wget http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=49015 -O /tmp/java.bin
# extract
cd /tmp
sh /tmp/java.bin
# move to right place
mv /tmp/jre1.6.0_26/ /usr/java
# get PMS
wget http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/files/pms-generic-linux-unix-1.23.0.tgz -P /tmp
# extract
tar xzf /tmp/pms-generic-linux-unix-1.23.0.tgz
# move
mv /tmp/pms-linux-1.23.0/ /usr/pms
# Optional cleanup, remove the # on the next line to use
# rm /tmp/pms-generic-linux-unix-1.23.0.tgz java.bin
# set port to 5002
cat <<EOF> /usr/pms/PMS.conf
port=5002
folders=/volume1/Movies
EOF
# create start script
cat <<EOF> /etc/rc.pms
#!/bin/sh
# set envirment
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
export PMS_HOME=/usr/pms
# start PMS server
/usr/PMS.sh > /tmp/pms.log
EOF
# If rc.local already exists, use vi to update it with the following values. If not,
# vi /etc/rc.local
cat <<EOF> /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
sh /etc/rc.pms
exit 0
EOF
#That's it. The PMS should start when your 1511 boots. If you want to start it manually, simply
# run the following at the command line.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
export PMS_HOME=/usr/pms
/usr/pms/PMS.sh
For those that are interested, this is my PMS.conf file. I basically made it using PMS on the Mac using the GUI and then used the values to put in the Linux build. They may or may not be relevant to your system. I'm still nutting out the MKV playback. I suspect it may be a case of using a different engine. I'll update when I get back to look at it tonight.

I'm interested to hear anyone elses experience with this. I'm not sure if it will work on other systems but there's no reason it shouldn't. Functionally, you will only be limited by the CPU power in your Syno box.
My next little project will be to try and get Plex Media Server running also.
