Llink:synology

The Synology NAS can host the llink server. It has been reported successfully installed on a CS-406, firmware 518 and 590. The CS-406 has a PPC-based cpu which indicates that all Synology DS and RS NAS in the x06-series should be able to run the compiled binary below.

If you use a Synology NAS from the x07-series there is a toolchain available for compiling source at Synology.com

Once you've installed the binary you have to update the llink.conf file so it points to your media files, uses the right port etc.

Installation pre-requisites

Telnet/SSH-patch installed on the NAS.

If you want to autostart llink from boot, you can use this script.
Otherwise you must enter via telnet and start manually after shutdown or restart.
