Streaming Synology NAS to Dreambox: application tvheadend is needed?

[Sundtek]

See the personal message.

As long as you attach the device to USB 2.0 it is fine!

USB 3.0 is shaky/unstable with Synology NAS systems at the moment, some customers reported that Synology is trying to fix this.

Hallo,

System is not running to my satisfactory, i am afraid.
I use Sundtek Synolgy Package (updated today to version .15) and stream content of DVB-C dongle of 2nd generation to my Dreambox.

Performance is close to perfection but regularly there are short freezes, on SD and or HD channels.
How come?
CPU of my 413j is being used for 25-40% during HD-streaming sessions.

Is CPU of my Dreambox maybe not sufficient?
Would you advise me any finetuning and if so what and in which device?

After reading older topics in this splendid forum i noticed that some time ago settop-users were advised to install tvheadend on the NAS followed by installing Sundtek drivers via Telnet.
I tried this procedure in the meantime but Telnet-commands found did not work any more.
Which commands are to be used in case i should not use Sundtek's Synology package?

Thank you for your comments!

The Web-Installer is fine, what does following command show up on your NAS:

/volume1/@appstore/sundtek/opt/bin/mediaclient --lc


Commandline is disabled.
We will check Streaming from our NAS to the DM800HD SE within next week, there are several options that can be tested.

Thank you!

Good morning,

May i ask what results, shown in my previous post, show up?
For your information: result was obtained with a Synology 213 (show model from my computer supplier)
(My own NAS is to be repaired there, if possible)

[Sundtek]

The results you posted are okay and normal.

[hansputters]

OK, that is a little relief, thanx.
CPU on Dreamboxes are not quite state of the art; could the box be the cause of the problem?
(i installed driver through SSC plugin and configured IP streaming by means of this plugin)

For streaming to a settopbox installing driver on the box itself is absolutely necessary, i suppose.
Would there be another solution by using some kind of mediaplayer?

I apologize for my lack of knowledge...

[Sundtek]

Your Dreambox is a DM800 HD Se isn't it? (that one should be fine).

Possibly it is network related, but we need to check by ourself first to give some better answer. If it's related to the network there are might be some options which we could adjust.

[hansputters]

Roger!
Yes this Dream model is meant!
I am eagerly looking forward to your own results....

Thanx in advance

[hansputters]

Did you have opportunity to test streaming in combination Dreambox/Synology yet?

[Sundtek]

Still on the list here, give it 2-3 more days.

[hansputters]

Don't worry, thanx for your comments anyway!

[Sundtek]

We tested HDTV and it works fine.

Are you using the NAS aside of streaming?

One issue might happen if you wake up the harddisk of the NAS while streaming. This might interrupt the streaming and damage the videostream.
In a normal case the Harddisk of the Synology NAS spins down and the NAS is completely silent.

[hansputters]

Thank you very much for testing!
Yes, i noticed too that when NAS is being opened for some issue (hard disk and mail server functionality) that stream breaks briefly.
Such is also the case when in Windows 7 start button "Computer" is being used.
No tragedy however....

Our main problem is (or better was) that once my wife started a new on-line bridge game the stream stopped for some seconds and only switching the channel solved that problem
A few days our PC's changed places and for some reason this specific issue does not occur anymore on the computer on which she is playing.
Peculiar is it not? both PC's have a Gigabit network card
