I was unaware of that notice but I got trapped by accepting the recent Perl update. I was reflexively accepting it and then noticing the warning that LMS would be disabled if I installed it.
I managed to find the 8.1.x package for Synology. It installs and runs. But the next surprise is that I couldn't find my important third party plug-ins from Erland Isakson. He said in another forum that the plug-ins will run under 8.1 but that his repository includes metadata capping downloads at 7.x. He assured that one can still download and install the packages manually.
And here is where I need some enlightenment:
- where is the /plugins folder in Synology?
- How do I gain access to upload the files to the apps area of the Synology?
I have a DS418play. I can gain SSH access and see all the binaries, etc. But I don't find the appstore or plugin hierarchy. And when I try to use sftp, I only see the user shares.
Once I discover where the plugins go, do I use Unix commands to mv the plugin files from a user share into the /plugins folder?
I hope someone here can help!
