Install FileBot on QNAP tvs 471 - QTS 4.2.0

Post by macdalor »

Hi all, I am trying to install FileBot on my Qnap TVS-471 (QTS 4.2.0) but after going through many forums/discussions I am still getting stuck and would really appreciate some help.

I understand I need to install via "IPKG" or "OPKG" and have installed "Entware" even though most forums chat about "Optware" apparently being deprecated now...
I also installed Python as mentioned in a few.

I've downloaded filebot_4.5.3_i686.ipk* (being the file everyone advising installing) & filebot_4.6.1_noarch.ipk* (being the latest filebot version).
I guess I need to install the filebot_4.5.3_i686.ipk* file given that my NAS is running on an Intel i3 proc.

I SSH fine to my NAS but when executing

Code: Select all

ipkg install filebot_4.5.3_i686.ipk
I get

Code: Select all

-sh: ipkg: command not found
and when executing

Code: Select all

opkg install filebot_4.5.3_i686.ipk
I get

Code: Select all

-sh: /opt/bin/opkg: cannot execute binary file
What am I doing (or not doing!) wrong?

Thank you
