Here is an upgrade of Headphones. It will bring a nice icon for DSM 3.2 users, and change the way the installation is done: this spk does not include Headphones any more, it will be downloaded from GitHub when you install it. That means that you will have an up to date version, whenever you install it. You can download it here.

It addresses the following issues:

  • (3.0) Add icon for DSM3.2 users.
  • (3.0) Don’t include the source code of Headphones, but download it from GitHub at installation time.
  • (3.0) When upgrading the spk, clean up the update history file to enforce an application upgrade.

This spk requires my Python spk to work correctly. The dependency will be checked at the installation time, and you will be redirected to the download page if it is missing. You must install at least version 2.6.6 4.

Tested with DSM 3.2 1922, on a DS408 and a DS210j. Not tested on DSM 3.1 or older, but it should work. Please report success and failure, as you always do.

The package is 50kB, it will download 1MB from GitHub, and install 4MB on your NAS. It will grow to 6MB at the first start (python compiled files), and more due to cache files and logs. All is cleanly removed when the package is removed.

The package is compressed using xz, and supports all the NAS supported by Python spk, i.e. all the NAS from the x07 to x11 series. No changes were made to the source code. Specific scripts to the Synology DSM were added.
