1st , you need to latest firmware Version: DSM 2.1-0832; Build Date: 2009/03/07,
http://www.synology.com/support/download.p...=enu&m=DS107%2B

2nd :

To enable the NFS service ( at synology->file sharing=> NFS), tick Enable NFS and click OK.


To assign NFS privileges

2.1. Select the shared folder you want to edit from the shared folder list.
2.2. Click NFS Privileges Setup.
2.3. Click Create to add an NFS rule.
2.4. Enter Hostname or IP (this is refer to your DVICO TVIX player IP address) . You may specify a host in three ways:
* Single Host: The fully qualified domain name, or an IP address.

no lah... just to share some info... hope it help..

[quote=terranova,Mar 17 2009, 01:28 PM]
User of synology and qnap here. just to share my observations.

(1) d/loading using these NAS as a BT client is painfully slow compared to say a pc-based client e.g. uTorrent. even if u port-fwd, assign fixed ip, open up upnp etc etc, also slow. i reckon the reason is that the client operates under linux (the NAS's operating system).

respond: u may not set the BT protocol encription and also need to set the DHT [also need to set this port at your router] (this will increase about 25% of your current speed) . my house using airzed broadband ( 1m down and 256K up), I can get about 82~97 Kb/s.



(3) the next generation of qnap will have built-in lcd and operating system, meaning u can operate and manage the nas without going thru a pc/notebook. this is useful but will also increase the cost/price. so if anyone wants to pick up a qnap, better get them now (existing models) before they are phased out and become more expensive.

respond : this will depends on the model, 1,2 and 4 bays still not LCD, for 1 and 2 bay, next model will be TS-119 /TS-210 ( Marvell 6281 1.2 GHz and 512MB DDRII memory ) BTW... be consider this : NMP-1000 Network Multimedia Player ( with build-in BT)




(4) my fav is the TS-409. very compact (small footprint) and "to the point". the new qnap AJAX interface, although now still in beta, shows lots of promise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjXUfovhamI

Respond: YES... will be release soon... (now still in BETA 3)

Mind sharing your tweaks. I'm not on streamyx, but I am on a 18mbps line. When I run both QNAP's QGet and Windows-based uTorrent, downloading the same file, the QNAP is about 1/10th of the speed on the uTorrent.


[/quote]


I believe is your setting at the DHT and the encryption

at your download station:

1st ) BitTorrent port range: 6881 :6999

2nd) tick the protocol encryption

3rd) tick using the public DHT network and also set Sharing time after download task completes: 4 hours ( other number also can)

here is the picture for Qnap



here is the picture for Synology

than u are very lucky...

another one u can try is the port u use... for the BT. in synology or qnap, u can change to difference port.


ISP is getting smart.... so we need to try... but they can't block all the port....

Hi, K8118K,

so good u have NMP-1000, may I know from whom u bought?

As I know, there is no NMP-1000 in market yet... the demo unit at cebit still at taiwan office.

NMP1000 supported format:


Video Formats
• Codec: MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, XVID, H.264, H.263, WMV9, VC1


• Container: AVI, MPEG/MPG, VCD (ISO, MPG), DVD (VOB, IFO, ISO),WMV, ASF, TP, TS, TRP, M1V, M2V, M4V, M2P, M2T, M2TS, MTS, MOV, MP4, RMP4, MKV, TOD, MOD, 3GP

Hi, traveler,

as you have synology NAS, you can update to the latest firmware (at least version DSM2.0 and above), you can use File station 2, upload the file from your local PC / external HDD to Synology NAS, this will more faster than through LAN ( FYI, one of our customer told about 2 days to transfer 500GB data through local LAN) ( gigabit will be faster but still take time)

after that, you can enable NFS for this folder (your video) and you can start to watch video (event BlueRay movie) direct from NAS to DVICO TVIX.

actually in your Dvico, u just need to set the network drive , one of the Network driver => select SAMBA ( this is ok for normal video but will jeckking when play Blueray Movie as this protocol cannot hannled) or NFS ( this format is faster and can support blueray movie) and put the path to : /volumn1/Tvix ( Tvix is the example folder name for the folder which u store your video)

and u need to trun on the NFS at your synology NAS... without turn on, u only can use SAMBA... and if u try to connect by NFS, the dvico will not showing any video list ( blank list)
