Hi, this is Matthieu from the German Forum. I hope you don't mind me answering in English, but the bit of French I used to know is gone since quite some time. Saying that packages from CPHub are in any way "unclean" isn't quite correct. We check every single package (both "by hand" and using automated systems). Just because we don't use your tool, doesn't mean they aren't of a good quality. By the way: We have a very long documentation to make sure everyone gets started the right way and knows how to work with spk-packages. The discussion Diaoul is referring to was mostly about licenses, not about the tool in any way. They want everything to be completely open source. I respect that opinion, but don't share it. Not back then and not now. We already have packages that are "Freeware" (and will be forever). Its up to the developer to choose the license at CPH. About the packages we share: The packages which require things like the "3rd party init" you are referring to exist since years, much longer than the system of package server exists. The developers gained lots and lots of experience conducting such mods and it has been used by thousands of users. It can very well be considered stable. I know you don't care about interoperability (the message on your website has that pretty clear), but I do care. I do not just watch when users start loosing their data. When you published the package named "owncloud" a few days back, you didn't care about it. But it happened. The CPH-package of owncloud was already available for months and downloaded a lot. But because both upgrade-scripts work differently, data was lost when upgrading using your package. I know you complained about such behaviour at Synologys side ... Regarding the actual topic discussed here: There are no issues known to us when using both CPH and synocommunity-packages, except for the stated owncloud package. @bud77: That downtime was about a month ago and lasted about 20hrs. The provider simply moved the server to another IP without notifying us. We have taken precautions now and are looking into further ones currently (like spreading basic functions to a failover server which will then ). I hope we can do something about the issues stated. I already discussed some things with Synology and I am confident that I got the right contact this time so some things might actually change. As of now, consider renaming the owncloud-package for example. Greetings, Matthieu

It was about an app for the Video Station which you can use e.g. to program the recording or view your library on the go. An Android app will follow a little later. Greetings, Matthieu

They said they want to hit the beta night, but if anything goes wrong they will have to delay it a little which is why the official saying was Mid-July. So as early as they can, but not earlier than the Beta Night in Taiwan was held.

If one fails, the other one will take up all services without interruption using VLAN mechanisms; synchronisation of data on block level Raid Groups to put one volume on top of multiple Raids Global Hot Spare drives which will replace any failing hard drive whenever needed immediately Support of VAAI hardware acceleration to speed up virtualisation performance Advanced Ressource Monitor which now includes logging of used ressources SNMPv3 support better Mail Station including SMTP Relay, Auto Reply and Forward, statistics on send and received mails, a second spam filter system, alias-adresses and more Quality of service (QoS) to limit bandwith of certain applications based on TCP-port Bandwith control also on user basis which means you can limit WebDAV, FTP and File Station transfers based on user/group (no SMB so far) Advanced Syslog server able to log up to 3000 logs per second, with advanced notification and logging Cloud Station to support synchronisation among multiple users and there might be a Linux client coming! Surveillance Station 6 Visual Station 240HD coming, able to display HD material new UI (especially new color scheme) "Virtual barrier" which you can put e.g. at your door and it will alarm if somebody crosses that Object count e.g. to see how many people went into a building No-Idle-Zone to detect objects which went into an area and stayed there (e.g. parking cars in emergency areas to be kept free) Independent time server to use with cameras Surveillance Station API more flexible layouts to view cameras DSM 4.1 new Video Station to organize all videos you have on your NAS importing Meta data from International Movie Database able to record TV through USB DVB-sticks (they said they only tested DVB-T sticks yet) DS video app to use Video Stations functions on the go Photo Station now with "Timeline"-function to display images across folders by year Photo Station supporting face recognition Audio Station with new UI personal Audio Station coming, comparable to personal Photo Station Synchronised Playback across multiple AirPlay-devices lyrics on Audio Station connecting to internet via proxy server new web app packages (probably through package center; mediawiki, moodle, osticket, joomla, drupal, phpBB, sugarCRM, osCommerce, magento) synchronisation of folders with consolidation of multiple sources IT-self service including paste bin accessible by every user and easy sharing through QuickConnect using the Synology gofile.me service SFTP support FXP support for ftp server Samba update to version 3.6 Offline mode of iOS DS audio new UI for Android DS audio and ability to edit playlists broad Windows Phone 7 support also with apps DS audio and DS photo+ DS download app for Download Station (first iOS, Android to be added later) unpacking zip files with Download Station including password faster creation of preview pictures used for Photo Station and others Media Server supporting indexing of external drives iTunes supporting more formats through transcoding I hope I can help you with that. Feel free to ask in English if you have further questions. Greetings from Germany, Matthieu
