JRiver mc28 in Synology Nas

(1/2) > >>

Topcat69RW:
Downloaded docker and followed the instructions to create MC28 on my Synology. Which I eventually got to open by following other threads on this subject thanks, however I am unable to mount my music folder into the created music folder in docker. Am I following the procedure properly, I am new to docker and Linux?

The folder gets "created" by mounting it more or less. You can pick any folder you want it does not have to be one specific folder. You canīt mount it at all or just not access it? The user in the container is normally set to 1000, you have to make sure whatever user that is on your docker host has access to the folder if not you can either give that user access or set the USER_ID environment variable to a different user for the container that does have access to the folder. This section here https://gitlab.com/shiomax/jrivermc-docker#permission-problems explains how you can figure out what user id(s) your user(s) have on your host and how you can configure that.

Thanks Max, I went onto SynoForum.com which had useful videos on how to get my id, this has now been changed and I can access my music and video files, however I have no sound and the video playback is poor.

If you want sound from the container directly (not over media network) you have to expose /dev/snd to the container (https://gitlab.com/shiomax/jrivermc-docker#sound). ALSA needs to be working on the host test if that works there first all the ALSA settings you are also gonna do on the host not the container. Not sure how you are playing video though? Over VNC itīs always gonna be bad. If you are streaming it to another jriver instance and decoding on the synology it has to have enough raw CPU performance to decode it as the container currently does not support any kind of GPU acceleration. Decoding on the CPU can be quite heavy. You either need enough CPU performance on your synology or decode on the client.

Thanks for the information Max.
One more question I have a master licence for Windows and Linux where do I put the licence for the Linux version?
