NAS Brand/Models Poll

My vote would be for FreeNAS support!

FreeNAS users: can you post what kind of hardware youā€™re using FreeNAS with?

Iā€™m planning on using an Asrock itx board with the Avoton C2750

The WD Mycloud may have a slight advantage on this since there are probably several users that were on the SD DVR Kickstarter or purchased one anticipating that it would ā€œprobably be best supportedā€ by SDDVR since that is what was offered in the KS.

I personally would prefer that Channels DVR work with a QNap (I have both a TS231+ and a WD MyCloud from the KS)ā€¦ Most will probably be running both the SDDVR and Channels DVR engines at the same time for a while with an arms race (whomever implements DRM the best) ensuing. So in order of ā€œpreferenceā€ for me:

  • QNAP

  • WD MyCloud

  • Windows 7 or higher (10/server/etc) [I still have a WMC box setup, so not a big issue to install the engine here if the NASes donā€™t work for my needs)

  • Linux (universal binary, that would work with many NAS/Distros)

  • Docker

  • MacOS (Donā€™t have oneā€¦ but understandable if that is first to be developed since the developers of Channels seem to be very good at developing Apple apps)

We have started work on porting the Channels DVR engine to Linux and FreeBSD so that we can support everyoneā€™s NAS.

If you have a NAS, please ssh into your device to run ā€œuname -aā€ and ā€œcat /proc/cpuinfoā€ and post the results here.

Sorry peeps. Iā€™m not the sharpest tool in the box. I didnā€™t even know what a NAS was until 2months ago and only use it for Channels DVR and basic media sharing with Infuse.
I have a WD My Cloud, how do I do the above, anyone?

How did you get this info, I have no idea what to do lol. I have a 3TB My Cloud.

What type of computer are you using? (Windows or Mac)

Here is how to enable SSH on WD Mycloud: http://support.wdc.com/KnowledgeBase/answer.aspx?ID=10435

After enabled you create a remote connection using Terminal on a Mac, PuTTY on a PC, or any host of apps on android or iOS devices. There will be a command line style dialog that you would then input these commands.

If you havenā€™t done it before it is a little daunting, but pretty easy to pickup with a little guidance.

Per your request re: NAS:
