Also, I prefer using the command EXPORT for setting the env for the ipkg path, rather than rebooting to acquire the PATH variable (as recommended in the LittleLama post I referenced). I prefer using Nano to VI, which you can install using ipkg prior to doing the steps explained in the link above for editing your configuration files. I also found this forum post helpful (note the post by “LittleLama”):

To learn more about using a bootstrapper and ipkg on your system, please visit: Note: installing and using the ipkg package management infrastructure is beyond the scope of this post. This will enable the ability to get the latest build of the IceFilms.bundle file required for the IceFilms Plex Media Server channel. Install Git on your Synology NAS by using ipkg. If neither of these apply to you, I suggest you just follow the easy guide above! Now, here’s the more involved method I used (I can personally verify that both of these methods work):Ĭaveats: This more complicated guide is only useful for those whoġ) Have an interest in obtaining and installing bootstrapper and ipkg package management functionality for their Synology DiskStationĢ) Have an interest in having Git clone functionality for their Synology DiskStation TIP: Look in ReallyFuzzy’s GitHub page to find other plug-ins, as well! Step one: Navigate to the Git repository for the IceFilms.bundle package: Quick guide for less techincally-inclined readers: *Confirmed working!* The easiest way to do this is to download the zip and rename IceFilms.bundle-master to IceFilms.bundle move it to your Plex Media Center Plug-Ins directory, and re-start your Plex Server. (To do this, you may have to allow plug-ins from any source in your Synology Package Manager).

If you need to install it on your NAS, please download the latest version here and install it manually as this is the best way to ensure that the package is up-to-date. Download PuTTY HERE.Ĥ) You have the Plex Media Server package installed on your Synology DiskStation NAS. If you don’t, please visit this site to find out how.ģ) You have a method of connecting to your SSH-enabled NAS, such as using PuTTY for Windows, or the Terminal in Mac OS or Linux. It appears to be working without a hitch! I know you’ve probably been dying to install IceFilms (as I know I was!), so I thought I should probably share how to do it:ġ) You know a little bit about how to navigate using a UNIX-style command line interface.Ģ) You have SSH enabled on your NAS. I installed IceFilms on my Synology DiskStation tonight (which, in reality, is a server I built running XPEnology, but on a software/OS-level, it isn’t any different than a DSM x86 unit).

So, have you been looking for the IceFilms channel plug-in for your Synology DiskStation, but only seen Windows and Mac OSX referenced for install methods on the sites you’ve visited?
