Been looking at https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Asustor/AS3102T/. Fixed at 2GB Ram and not expandable but it’s super quiet and very low power. Throw in an Intel CPU for transcoding and, as low as you understand its limitations, seems to fit the bill.
FWIW I already wrote an app package for asustor, but we haven’t had anyone with an actual NAS to test it yet.
Awesome. I’ll let you know if I pick one up. And then HDHR’s ever become available again.
Pulled the trigger on one this morning, it’ll be here some time next week. Can’t test much as finding an HD Home Run seems to be impossible unless I want to pay 150% of retail but at least I can make sure it loads correctly and get you some log files.
FYI, I was running into the same thing with everyone being sold out a few weeks ago - ended up ordering direct from SiliconDust, which went fine. They’re at https://shop.silicondust.com/shop/
SD has some coupons available for their store too, so it might be worth emailing them.
I have an Asustor 302T with an Atom processor if you want me to test it for you and also have a Qnap TS-239 but am currently using a Synology for your software.
Just installed it to the Asustor and used manual install of course. Seemed to install fine. Set up the dvr and recording now. Will let you know how it goes!
Just checked the recording and it looks great! I’ll set up some passes and play with it for a few days and report back.
Wow awesome. Didn’t expect it to work the first time.
I will add it to the installation page.
After much, much swearing and gnashing of teeth over how Aruba gear handles uPnp, I’m up and running. 2 minor issues : DVR only lists one tuner, and transcoding is listed as software not hardware.
Can you add the missing tuner manually?
What does CPU/OS say?
Hold up… by one tuner does it actually mean “a single HD Home Run” ?
OS etc. info :
OSLinux
(kernel: 4.1.0)
CPU
2 cores / Intel® Celeron® CPU N3050 @ 1.60GHz
load averages: 1.01 1.04 1.10
Yes it lists hdhomeruns.
Can you ssh in and run:
ls -alh /dev/dri
No such file…
Kernel is missing hardware acceleration driver it seems…
Might be possible to load it manually. Does the ssh session have root access? What does “lsmod” say
Yeah, you can root. Which is nice.

Hmm i915 and drm modules are already loaded. That should have created /dev/dri
Any chance you can give me temporary ssh access via port forward so I can poke around?
Not without a large amount of faffing around, although I do appreciate the offer. Only just got the box so I haven’t really got all that in place yet.
I do notice, however, that there’s a specific ffmpeg maintained by Asustor. Will Channels pick that up automatically or do I need to remove an existing ffmpeg or change a path etc. ?
