Help with installing SlimServer on LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini

[MichaelJennings]

I've just purchased this network drive after reading that I can run SlimServer on it.

Can anyone help with installing and managing the software?

Thanks!

It is not an easy task to get inside the Ethernet Disk Mini. I have never heard of anyone running Slimserver on it.

I've never heard of anyone getting inside the guts of a LaCie to install slimserver, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done. A sensible place to start seems to be wherever it was that you read it could be done. If that was just an assertion without any supporting instructions, you could be stuck. Then resort to Google, searching on some combination of terms like slimserver, LaCie, hack, telnet, ssh, etc.

A quick search on "slimserver lacie" turned up the following links, which may or may not be useful.

Well why do we not all ask Lacie to ditch Twonky and get Slim?

'cos great as it is for music, Slim is not a fully-fledged DLNA server. Twonky is the best all-round DLNA server out there for embedded devices. If you don't want to do anything with pictures/video then I agree that Slim is the one....

What we should all as Lacie to do is to open up their software enough to enable keen amateurs to put Slim on their products. If they did then I am sure they would get a lot more sales....

At the CES show in January, the folks at Axentra (which makes the HipServ software that runs on the Ethernet Disk Mini) told me they were working on running SlimServer in the device, although they wouldn't commit to any release date.

I have a LaCie Ethernet Disk Home Edition and next week I will receive a Transporter. Obviously I don't want to have a computer running all the time as SqueezeCenter. LaCie claims it's compatible with SB but I really doubt.

Thanks SlimDevices & Axentra for joining your efforts.

Forget HipServ, LaCie and Axentra !

I have replaced my HipServ with a Synology DS-107+ with 128M Ram, installing SSODS and SC7 was toooooo easy !!!
