Can't run FileBot on Synology NAS

Hi
I just installed FileBot on my Synology NAS but get a screen that just says "Error" when I try to run it. I have installed (a) Java 8 (b) node4.js (c) Chromaprint and (d) MediaInfo as suggested in the installation instructions and am running FileBot node as admin. All suggestions welcome! Thanks in advance

Please have a look at the Synology / FileBot Node troubleshooting page.
Posting logs, system information, architecture, etc would be helpful for me in helping you.

Could you please point me to the Synology/FileBot node troubleshooting page. This is the only screen shot that indicates the problem:

Have you tried using FileBot Node directly in the local area network? There may be issues if you're using it via the Synology QuickConnect proxy service.

Hi Rednoah
I checked the FileBot log in package Center and found that FileBot Node wasn't running - hadn't realised that I needed to do this

. it is now running and the last line in the log file is this:
filebot-node listening at
http://127.0.0.1:5424
However, I tried clicking both "execute" and "dry run" from FileBot Node but again nothing happens and there is no activity in the FileBot Node log. I think I am missing something obvious but no idea what it is ....

I am running Win 7 - can I run FileBot Node on the LAN with this OS? The Download Center only seems to have a Win 10 version
