UPNP-Downloader for Synology^®-NAS

Scope / Short description

Some HD recorder are able to record videos on their internal Harddisk, but they are not able to make these files available over the network. Ther is actualy no http- ftp- or SMB-Server available on theses devices. But they can stream the videos via UPNP^® / DLNA^® into the network.

Therefore it was the aim to load all the available files from the device on the NAS, where they can be made available via all known protocolls. By doing this the videos can be integrated into normal backup procedure and the disk space on the HD recorder is of no importance anymore.

By now this goal is not fully achived, but the software is already capable of identifying and downloading the files from the device and also obeying some filter options. This is not a permanetly running server process with permanent check for available files, but you have to start the downloading manually on the command line of the NAS.

The configuration can be set via config-file or the commandline at program start. Ther is (still) no Synology website for configuration.

System prerequisites

The package may be installed on all Synology^®-NAS.
All tests were carried out on DSM6 only
The only available *.SPK file including the binaries is for Marvel^® ArmadaXP™ processor.
You may create binarys for all other Synology^®-NAS using the apropriate toolchain. Good luck..
