We’ve made a lot of progress on NAS support this week.

If you have a device in the middle list and are able to help test our app packages, send me a PM.
I have a LaCie 5big pro
Thanks to help from @nicholass817 we now have a working package for NAS OS (Lacie and Seagate).
Still looking for someone with a Netgear ReadyNAS to help us verify Channels DVR works there.
Not sure if this will be helpful or not but I have an old ReadyNAS NV+ v2. Will that do what you need or is it too old?
Here’s ReadyNAS NV+ v2 info:

Looks like those older units don’t run ReadyNAS OS 6, so you can’t install apps on them.
That’s kinda what I figured…hope someone else chimes in with a newer unit.
Myself, I’m running a FreeNAS box now. Also have a macOS VM (El Cap for now) I’m planning to run the DVR on.
I have an RN104. Running 6.6.0.
I would vote for UNRAID. A way to get support into most raids and Linux would be to publish as a docker container.
Netgear ReadyNAS packages are working thanks to @166
I am working on an UnRAID package, and am still looking for someone in the US who has an ASUSTOR NAS.
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.
