Installing Filebot on DS212

Post by sdhuk »

Hello,

My attempts at installation fail with the Unofficial Java Installer giving the message "Unknown CPU Architecture: armv5tel". I have managed to install Java 8 however using the Java SE 8 Embedded Package. Unfortunately when I try to install the filbert package it insists on installing the Unofficial Java Installer and again the install stumbles with the original error message in the log.

Running "java -version" at the command line gives the following output:

java version "1.8.0_91"
Java(TM) SE Embedded Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14, headless)
Java HotSpot(TM) Embedded Client VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

Many thanks for your help!

That's an unfortunate side-effect of adding the oracle-java package as dependency. Synology Package Manager won't allow to install the package even though it'd probably work just fine.

Thanks for replying, is there a workaround for this? Is there any way of installing filebot via the cli?

No, it's a problem with Synology Package Manager not allowing you to force-install packages.

The next version of the Java package will just fake "Running" status to trick DSM into allowing you to install the filebot package, in absence of a real solution for optional dependencies from Synology.
