M2strm Qnap nas #5

Closed Stefan765 closed 2 years ago

Stefan765 commented 2 years ago

Hello! I have a qnap nas and wan‘t to run your m2strm script on it for emby. I think it has to work with the mono app, but is it possible that the script automatically runs once a day or so…? Thank you! Stefan

you need to configure cron tab on your nas. m2strm works great with mono.

Thanks for your help! I will try, maybe i need your help again, because i am not a pro on linux😉

laurent734 commented 2 years ago

you can also use it on windows and define an smb url to a nas file. in the m2strm.exe.config configuration file:

I need your help again! I have installed the mono app in Qts, but i don't know how to start it. Can you give me a step by step guide ....?

When i use it on my windows laptop, i have to run the laptop all time, or i am wrong?!

laurent734 commented 2 years ago

ok to guide you but i'm not the m2strm developer. did you manage to get it to work on windows?

laurent734 commented 2 years ago

if you run it on windows, you can choose a network path to generate strm files directly in your nas. in the m2strm.exe.config file:

add key = "outDirectory" value="your url smb nas"\"/

thank you! in windows it works, but when i add as outdirectory my nas i need my laptop to download the m3u.

laurent734 commented 2 years ago

for mono you must connect in ssh on your nas. install putty on your windows pc for this. connect to putty with the nas ip and the nas admin password. once connected the command are almost identical, you just have to add mono in front. ex on windows

C: \ Users \ laure \ Documents \ m2strm / m2strm.exe / m

on linux with mono

sudo mono ./your folder path / m2strm.exe / m

I don't know the folder structure of your nas so you have to adapt it yourself.

After getting m2strm to run manually to make sure it works as expected and after you've configured it, edit crontab by: crontab -e (you might get the question to use nano or vi, I suggest you chose nano) add this (example): 5 7-23/2 * * * /path/to/mono /path/to/m2strm.exe and save. This will run the app "At minute 5 past every 2nd hour from 7 through 23"
