cuesplitflac : a mass flac splitting script for synology and ubuntu

Read the  disclaimer This bash script searches recursively directories and splits .flac or .ape file in separate tracks, based on the information provided in the .cue files. A text database keeps an inventory of split files, enabling the script to run on a schedule. The original file tree structure is mirrored to the converted file tree structure. You can get the script here :   https://github.com/youpla/bash_cuesplitflac Since DSM 6, synology provides a bash implementation that is close to what you would find on Linux systems, enabling easily bash code porting. This script uses different compiled tools to achieve its goal. There are GUI tools that manage flac files splitting, example : https://flacon.github.io/ Most of those tools achieve what this script does not, they are multi-threaded, optimized for speed and highly customizable. cuesplitflac on the other hand is more of a slow background process you can run on a synology or linux shell. You can generate .f...

Compiling "file" with spksrc for synology NAS

Read the disclaimer This article describes how to compile "file" for synology devices, package it and install it. You can get "file" sources at: https://github.com/file/file ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/ The package described in this guide is will download the content from that repository. The "file" command is "a file type guesser", that is, a command-line tool that tells you in words what kind of data a file contains. The original spksrc already contains a file package, that only compiles the binaries : https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/tree/master/cross/file This package fills the gap and provides the command line utilities from the shell: file This guide is the same that https://dayandnightcoding.blogspot.com/2020/04/compiling-cpulimit-with-spksrc-for.html You can follow the different steps there. I'll document only the steps referring specifically to "file". Clone the repository and make setup ...

Read the disclaimer This article discribes how to compile cpulimit for synology devices, package it and install it. I've set up a forked repository of spksrc at  https://github.com/youpla/spksrc There I publish some tools. You can get cpulimit sources at https://github.com/opsengine/cpulimit The package described in this guide is will download the content from that repository. cpulimit is a simple program which attempts to limit the cpu usage of a process expressed in percentage, not in cpu time. The apprehensible quality of this software is allowing you to run demanding software without rendering the NAS unusable. In order to compile the software there are two possibilities. a virtual machine a docker container In this example I'll rely on a virtual machine running Ubuntu . There are many steps involved in getting a virtual machine ready that are beyond this article scope, here are some basic steps: chose an hypervisor  install Ubuntu install th...
