Synology Custom Package Architectures for XPEnology

To make sure we get the best out of both Synology and XPEnology based Emby Server installations, we optimise the packages for the hardware on which they will run. This presents a challenge when it comes to XPEnology, which is discussed in more detail in the post 'XPEnology Users Read Me'.

The default package source that should be used for XPEnology is:-

https://synology.emby.media/?package_repository=360efc6e-de72-4073-b603-2bfbd7001586

However, if you find that Emby Server does not start after the install completes, it is likely you will need to use an alternate package architecture for your system.

Alternate Architectures

The following alternate package architectures are currently available:-

Name	Description	Examples
xpen-core2-sse41	Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo + SSE41	Intel Core2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz
xpen-core2	Baseline Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo	Intel Pentium Dual-Core CPU T4500 @ 2.30GHz
xpen-sandybridge	Intel Sandy Bridge based Processors	Intel Core i5-4570S CPU @ 2.90GHz
xpen-barcelona	AMD Family 10h (or K10) based Processors	AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor
xpen-westmere	Intel Westmere based Processors	Intel Xeon X5690 @ 3.46GHz Processor
xpen-haswell	Intel Haswell based Processors	See Wikipedia
xpen-silvermont	Intel Silvermont based Processors	See Wikipedia

To use the alternate package architecture, you simply need to add it to the package source you configure in Package Center. Here's an example:-
