INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR LLINK ON SYNOLOGY NAS
Written by dc11ab on the 16th of March 2008
Updated 16th of May 2008

Verified for llink version 2.0.5 build 730 on a CS-406 with firmware 590.
If no major changes has been introduced, this README works as install
guide regardless of version.

This guide describes how to install the llink media server on a Synology
NAS. The x06 compile should work on the following models:
:: DS-101g, DS-106, DS-106j, CS-406, RS-406 ::

It might work on the DS 207e and 407e models too as the are supposed to
have a similar chipset.

It does not work on the Marvell based x07 models and is not confirmed on
the x08 model.

The llink startup script survived a Synology firmware update from 518->5900
but future firmware upgrades may brake it.

NOTES
* Replace <version> below with the version number of llink, example: 2.0.3
* When downloaded from lundman.net the inital character in the file name
is Capitalized, e.g. Llink-2.0.3-syno_x06.tar.gz
Linux is case sensitive so don't forget to have this in mind .

NOT TESTED
* Other skins than the defaults.

PREREQUISITES
Telnet or SSH patch enabled on the NAS.

INSTALL
Enter the NAS with telnet or SSH using root or admin user.

Place the llink-<version>-syno_x06.tar.gz file in the share:
/volume1

Untar the file:
tar -xvzf llink-<version>-syno_x06.tar.gz

This creates a directory: /volume1/llink-<version>-syno_x06

After a successful untar you can remove the tar.gz file:
rm -rf llink-<version>-syno_x06.tar.gz

Edit the conf files accordingly to specify ports, location of your
media and other settings required.

MANUAL START/STOP
If you prefer to start llink manually, just enter it's directory:
cd /volume1/llink-<version>-syno_x06/src/
and enter:
./llink -d

To stop llink manually, enter:
killall llink

STARTUP
To enable autostart on boot, edit the rc.local file to point to the
llink startup script:
vi /etc/rc.local

This opens the file in the vi editor. If you don't understand how to
use vi, type man vi, or find instructions in your favorite search engine.

Enter on a new line:
/volume1/llink-<version>-syno_x06/S89llink.sh
#Adding the llink media server to autostart, <date>

Save and exit vi, <esc><esc> :wq <enter>

Make sure the startup script has the right permissions:
chmod 755 /volume1/llink-<version>-syno_x06/S89llink.sh

Note: Using other skins, such as Jukebox and the SD skin requires a
change in the startup script S89llink.sh, if this is used.
Add:
-f <skin conf file>
after the llink path.
(eg: -f jukebox.conf)

Now the installation is complete! Next time you reboot your NAS llink
starts automatically and appears as "llink-daemon" on your Syabas media
player interface. Enjoy your media!

UNINSTALL
Simply delete the startup script file and the install directory. Done.

TROUBLESHOOTING, TIPS AND TRICKS
If the installations doesn't work, it is very likely that the llink.conf
file is not correctly set. Make sure your ROOT folders for the media is
correct.

More help concerning llink may be found on www.lundman.net and the
Syabas forum Networkedmediatank.com (User Application section).

If you want a log/debug output of llink, stop it manually (see above) and
start it manually with:
./llink -v 60

Using 255 instead of 60 will generate a

If you want to connect your Syabas media player with your Synology NAS
you can use both Samba (SMB/CIFS) or NFS. NFS is faster than SMB and
thus more suitable for viewing high-bitrate content such as HD movies.

You'll find several guides and HowTo's at Synology.com forum and wiki,
as well as on Syabas forum and wiki at Networkedmediatank.com.
