Synology Notes on Package Updates

softworkz edited this page Jan 26, 2023 · 3 revisions

When an update to Emby Server becomes available, it will be published as an update via DSM's Package Center. All updates are fully self-contained and can be applied by simply clicking on the 'Update' button. Details of the changes contained in the update will be displayed under the 'What's New' section.

NOTE : Updates can on occasion take a while to apply, depending on the size of your media library and/or your hardware platform. It is recommended that you apply updates at a 'quiet time', where any disruption to viewing or recording, will be kept to a minimum.

Automatic Updates

The Emby Server package for Synology is supported by Package Center's automatic update functionality, however we do not recommend using it.

This is for a few reasons, as given the services that Emby Server provides, it could lead to:-

  • Disrupted viewing

  • Missed Recordings (from Live TV)

  • Partial Recordings (from Live TV)

The automatic update functionality is configured via Package Center -> Settings -> Auto Updates

Package Center will also give you the opportuntity to opt-in to automatic updates when a package update becomes available.
