Synology DSM 7.0 Beta Warning

[spud]

Do not install DSM 7.0 if you want to reinstall channels. I wanted to move my Channels DVR location on my 218+, so I thought I would start all over. I deleted the spk and when I tried to reinstall if it gave me an invalid file format error. I am not sure what to do. I have reached out to Synology to see how to downgrade back to 6.3. I really do not want to reformat the whole server - 5 cameras, lots of movies, etc. Any suggestions?

Warning - Synology DSM7

Just an FYI - If you are running Channels DVR on a Synology NAS directly, avoid upgrading to the DSM7 preview. I wasn't paying attention and didn't realize they block all 3rd party packages. Running in docker works but you'll lose hardware acceleration. Downgrading back to 6.2 was a major PIA. Also, a note to the Channels devs, you might be aware but synology is changing their 3rd party SPK format and permission structure with DSM 7. Hopefully we can maintain a native spk when DSM7 comes out of…
