Serviio for ReadyNAS Duo v2 with Marvell ARM cpu?
Hi guys,
Have been using Serviio (1.0.1) release on my Windows 7 PC to stream my 'High Quality' JPEG files to my Sony Bravia TV and Blu-ray players, as I find this is the only software that will enable me to do this without first having to subsample them down to 'Medium' quality before they can be rendered on my clients.
However, I have now decided to invest in a NAS, and after having chosen the Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v2, I now find it contains their own version of DLNA software (ReadyDLNA, which I believe is re-branded minidlna?), and predictably enough, will not stream to one of my Sony clients (the Bravia TV Model KDL-22EX320) without me first subsampling the JPEG files. Oddly, the Sony Blu-ray player (BDP-480ES) will however, accept them straight from the camera. /shrug/
I understand from reading around the internet that it may be a problem running Serviio on a NAS with less than 512mb of on-board RAM, which may perhaps partly explain the apparent lack of Serviio support for this NAS, which only has 256mb? However, this can be upgraded pretty easily, so not an insurmountable problem in itself.
I had a look at the Serviio Wikis for installing on Synology and QNAP NASes, but as a long-time Windows user, I simply cannot get to grips with Linux. Apart from which, the GUI front-end for my NAS is Radiator 5.3.6 for ARM, and seems to do things differently to the Synology and QNAP devices, as far as Linux based software goes.
In case it is helpful, the ReadyNAS Duo v2 comes with the Marvell 6282 Armada 1.6Ghz (Part # 88F6282) ARM v5TE single core cpu.
Is there any chance an installer package could be created for this NAS, or would it be possible for someone to hand-hold me through getting one of the Synology or QNAP packages onto my kit please?
Cheers for your time,
Nigel
ps. I would of course be very happy to make a PayPal donation to whoever comes up trumps!
