We have a working unRAID plugin thanks to help from @Minich!
We also have working FreeBSD binaries, so I’m going to look at writing a FreeNAS plugin next. FreeNAS users- are you using plugins for most other 3rd-party apps, or setting up custom jails? Looks like plugins are the new/easier way to do things now: https://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_plugins.html
FreeNAS plugins work well. I’m running the CrashPlan plugin and a couple others. As far as I can tell, the plugins just basically automate the setup of a jail and offer an easy way to make basic setting changes for the jail. Good to hear your planning a Channels DVR FreeNAS plugin. Let me know if you’d like me to test.
I have the MyCloud EX4100 as well.
I have a MyCloud PR4100. It was one of the NAS recommended before the launch of the public beta. I have not seen anyone else mention the PR4100 yet. I got it specifically because the newer intel processer supports hardware transcoding yet as of the latest build I must turn software transcoding on for web GUI streaming or I get an error.
A number of us (from the Alpha and Beta) are running the PR4100. It works exceedingly well.
WD PR4100 8 TB - Works great! 5 ATV 4 throughout the house. No problem with 4-5 streams.
how did you install it on the WD? through ssh? i dont see that install file on the getchannels site for that model. thanks.
Download the package (link below), then log into the admin web site. (MyCloudPR4100.Local), go to the Apps tab, then click on the + in the bottom left. Select :“To install an app manually, click here”. Select the package you downloaded and then click on configure once it finishes install.
Thanks, i had no idea that model was a "PR4100"
@OurFamilySpot my4TB WDBCTL0040HWT-NESN doesnt have a + sign to add apps. i do have the HDHomerun dvr installed on it, but they do it via their app with ssh. strange.
Your model is a single drive My Cloud, which has a different install methodogy.
Currently, it is not on the recommended list for Channels DVR, but I’m sure dev’s would be interested if you can at least utilize as DVR & recordings. I use a Mac for DVR and single drive MyCloud for recordings storage.
This is a single drive model. It is not the PR4100.
This model does not meet the minimum requirements for Channels DVR.
Thanks, I’ll get a better model. But that’s why I quoted @OurFamilySpot with that exact model in my first post and asked how he installed it since I have one doing nothing.
I’m running Channels DVR on a Seagate NAS 4-Bay STCU100 with 4 4TB drives with Seagate’s SimplyRAID & Firmware ver 4.2.12.0. Runs great!
i originally had a single drive WD MyCloud that i used with the SiliconDust DVR beta, but have moved to the WD PR4100. The single bay WD MyClouds are below minimum spec for the Channels DVR.
When the original request/query was made it is what i had.
Sorry for the confusion, i was thought the context was on how to install on the WD PR4100. Missed that you were referring back to the WDBCTL0040HWT-NESN.
I have a QNAP TS-251+
