cp /volume1/homes/jinlife/libsynophoto-plugin-model.so /var/packages/SynologyPhotos/target/usr/lib/ If the libsynophoto-plugin-model.so doesn't work, please try libsynophoto-plugin-model.so.1.0 with same steps. Or I would recommend to patch it by yourself, please take a look at link
The patch for libsynosdk.so.7 will allow remote NFS/CIFS shared folder be used in VideoStation, AudioStation and Photos etc.
cp /volume1/homes/jinlife/libsynosdk.so.7 /usr/lib/- It has side effect for FileStation that you cannot eject the folder anymore, it will be treated as local folder, however you can still umount it.
- For Photos, it will work perfectly in Shared folder: photo. But you cannot delete picture in personal homes folder. However, you can delete it in FileStation, but it is still inconvienient.
- Maybe you can upload photo by App "DS File", it can specify the uploaded folder out of homes.
- Anyway, I would suggest to use it for VideoStation only.
- Restart DSM after patch.
