Placeholder for comments related to success on loading modules and making a DVB device to work on your Synology NAS.

Experimental LinuxTV packages for Synology 6.2.3 x86_64 archs available at:

It currently only loads high level modules:

  • rc/rc-core.ko
  • mc/mc.ko
  • v4l2-core/videodev.ko
  • common/tveeprom.ko
  • common/videobuf2/videobuf2-common.ko
  • common/videobuf2/videobuf2-v4l2.ko
  • common/videobuf2/videobuf2-memops.ko
  • common/videobuf2/videobuf2-vmalloc.ko
  • dvb-core/dvb-core.ko

The default start_stop calls my generic script located at /var/packages/linuxtv/target/bin/linuxtv.sh
Modules are located at /var/packages/linuxtv/target/lib/modules
Firmware are located under /var/packages/linuxtv/target/lib/firmware

In order to get your device working you will need to manually insmod the relevant modules in the right order and follow-up the dmesg output. It isn't that trivial but it should normally work.

For instance, Hauppauge WinTV would require the following modules to be loaded manually:

  1. em28xx_dvb
  2. em28xx
  3. lgdt3306a
  4. si2157

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is highly experimental at this stage, upon loading a module you might experience a NAS reboot (was hapening when trying to load DSM-6.1 modules against DSM-6.2.3 kernel).

Compatible kernels and DSM versions

  • 4.4.59+ (DSM-6.2.3)
  • 4.4.15+ (DSM-6.1)
  • 3.10.105 (DSM-6.2.3)

  • armada37xx, rtd1296

Build errors under investigation (all 3.10.105)

  • cedarview
  • monaco
  • armada38x, alpine

Fixed build errors

  • ld.bfd unrecognized option '-Wl,--rpath-link : was due to LDFLAGS needing to be ""
