Hi Guys, very interesting thread …what’s happened in the last month ?
Ron, I know Mike from Roku’s been in touch regarding my thread there and I’ve got a Synology DS-106j coming on monday to feed both Roku and Pinnacle M1001s.
I not unfamiliar with Unix but I’d hate to brick my DS-106j so very nervous. I’ve got a fair bit of reading to do to try to get up to speed, the hard part is trying to decide which bits are relevant to me. e.g. do I have to install optware in order to get the nightlies to run.
SydneyGuy, how’s it going ? Any idiot proof tips for me ?
All the best to you both.
I think the upgrade is pretty much brick-proof at least for getting unslung on there. It just adds a couple binary programs (wget, ipkg) and dumps everything in /opt without over writing or messing up your system, so I think it’s fairly safe.
Read the links further up there, and there were links to a couple sites with info and bootstraps. I believe thats what SydneyGuy used.
We still have a problem with stuff dying (out of memory, maybe?), but not sure exactly what’s up.
Another data point would probably help.
