DicoverLastFM - Automatic music discovery for Plex using Last.fm data
Hey, glad you like it! Yeah exactly, you'll need Headphones first. It's the missing piece that actually downloads the music. Your Synology + Plex setup is perfect, and the DS220j should handle it fine. I'm running everything on a DS218+ so you've got plenty of resources. The flow is: DiscoveryLastFM

Terramaster D4-320 vs Synology DS218+
Neither. Neither one of them are servers. They're both Network Attached Storage devices. Both of them have dog shit processors, the Terramaster with a Asmedia SoC, the Synology with a nearly decade old bottom of the barrel Celeron. (Seriously, the J3355 in the 218+ was released in 2016. It has a tot

Hello fellow mkv enthusiasts and data Horders
Also definitely factor in the storage and keep in mind that you'll very likely need more than you think you will down the line. I started off with a 2-bay Synology DS218+ and two WD red 4TB drives, thought I'll never fill up those. But keep in mind, if you want redundancy (failover tolerance) one of

Synology to QNAP
I went from a DS218+ to a TS-664 (was waiting on the 923+ from Synology and that crapped out). I've been pretty happy with it and the 664 was better hardware specs and more storage space for less money. I left existing data on my 218+ and built 664 from new drives and just transferred data over via

Share Your Setup – Be Featured on the Emby Blog
I’m running Emby on my Synology DS218+ with two 14TB hard drives (28TB total). The DS218+ handles everything I throw at it thanks to its solid Intel Celeron CPU and 6GB RAM. Most of my family and friends stream from Android TV devices and Windows PCs, with the occasional phone or tablet. What I real

Az nCore Staff droppolta a legmenőbb karácsonyi ajándékot
110k volt a Synology NAS. DS218 Plus. Fontos volt a transzkódolás, illetve a 4K tartalom átvitele a tévére.

Nuc Skull Canyon i7 in 2025
I listed the thunderbolt gpu enclousure on FB matket and develop NAS system using the skull canyon. The m2-satax5 adaptor works very well, Quick Sync Video (QSV) runs smoothly with jellyfin transcoding, the general performance is way better than my synology DS218+.

Any thoughts on Ubiquiti NAS vs Synology?
I have the Synology DS218+ and would love to go with a UNAS but I use my Synology NAS for streaming media and as far as I'm aware I can't do that with UNAS. I would absolutely love for someone to tell me I'm wrong, I'd buy a UNAS tomorrow.

Solution pour Cloud maison/NAS + Media center ?
J'ai un petit Synology ds218+ (2 baies) j'ai installé jellyfin en server et l'application sur la Smart tv, ça fonctionne impec pour peu que tu ne remplisse pas à rabord les disques de film (sinon une Petite extension de ram et rouler Jeunesse). Pour la musique, il y a l'appli de Synology et celle de

Looking to move on from my Synology DS218+, what is the best NAS for a £300 budget?
Two things. First, they restricted HDD to "Synology approved" drives (mainly their own brand, more expensive) for the DS225+ which was their newest 2-bay NAS. Due to backlash, they came back on this decision. Then there was the transcoding issue, they disabled it on their newest NAS because you need
