Sparrowlogins 18 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 An app for the server on a qnap nas would be most welcome. Anyone know if its possible, working on it or know if its on the cards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieperskaivu 1 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Seconded, this would be incredible. Keep getting excited seeing the new linux versions, hoping this one is in the works or plan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It becomes on the cards when someone decides to get proactive and investigate. That's how all of the Linux releases came about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW 1052 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Some of the newer Qnaps (x51 and x53 series at least) can run Windows VMs - I wonder if the Windows MBS would run successfully on one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.andre 69 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hello, I'm using a QNap TS-870 converted to an TS-870 PRO with Intel I7 and it works well in Virtualization station. Sorry for my English. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathRider 0 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I too would be keen for a server plugin/pkg for QNAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Taylor 0 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I agree, they should develop a QNAP version... I've been waiting to try this but will only do so if its installable on my NAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchmor 584 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I agree, they should develop a QNAP version... I've been waiting to try this but will only do so if its installable on my NAS. Who are they? I'm presuming you've gone to the QNAP Forums and asked if there's a dev out there willing to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Taylor 0 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) "they" are the developers of media browser. "they" should develop and support as many platforms and clients as possible. just as plex does. this is one of the reasons plex is so popular today. there is no doubt as of media browser 3 that "they" are trying to emulate the plex system/platform (server/client). but as a user/consumer I could care less who develops the server/client software. at the very least they should attempt to get developers interested in developing for mediabrowser 3 this of coarse is just my opinion.

One2Go 98 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 There is a thread posted by the title "Media Browser For NAS" Luke posted on 02 June 2014: Yes we're planning on it. http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/7715-media-browser-for-nas/&do=findComment&comment=103060 Last entry by the OP breezytm Posted on 04 December 2014: I changed the hardware on my htpc and the for the life of me I could never get Playready to update and at this point I am tired. I am going to reinstall windows from and I must say it sucks. I'll be out of MB until it is available for my nas. I knew installing any server on my workstation was a bad idea. http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/7715-media-browser-for-nas/page-3&do=findComment&comment=155252 I know the limitations of the MB dev team regarding Linux versions but many of us have waited now over a year for the MB server to be installed on a Linux box. I myself have the hardware running UnRaid and Phaze has developed a Plug-In but no stable MB version to install. So yes many of us are patiently waiting until our Linux boxes have something to install that resembles Plex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabbera 23 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 It seems like a waste of time when you can run a Linux VM on the NAS and host media browser in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW 1052 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It seems like a waste of time when you can run a Linux VM on the NAS and host media browser in it. Or a Windows VM. But, I don't think all Qnaps can run VMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparrowlogins 18 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) My aim would still be to have a version for qnap. Mediabrowser just works. I Have parents and relatives using it with ease. Adding layers of vm and other things inbetween adds potential for complication and failure points. I might try it as an experiment but would prefer to continue using the wonderfully simple and easy to use mb on its own if i can. Some of my relatives who use mb are over 80. Any loss of service or complication for them would be too frustrating and might turn them off of using it.

Luke 36886 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 For some news related to this - the next server release will remove the libgdiplus dependency which is going to make it a lot easier to install on devices such as this. It was the last remaining hurdle for Synology as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36886 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 We haven't looked at that. Right now most of our linux packages are maintained by community contributors. If someone can help us with that it would be fantastic and help get it done sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaitkeeper 2 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 +1 on this! I am currently trying to decide between a Synology, QNAP, or other type of NAS. Any suggestions on which device MB would run best on? I have been an avid MB fan since 2009, and I love your product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefirstofthe300 291 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 If you go FreeNAS, you will have immediate support. Synology and QNAP probably aren't going to get going until a community member steps up to take care of packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
