A version of Bliss that will run on a Synology Diskstation NAS.
I have Squeezebox Server running on my Synology NAS, and it would be fantastic if Bliss would as well, so I wouldn't have to use my PC laptop to maintain the artwork files. Putting Bliss on the NAS would create a true "set and forget" situation.

Build 20111221 ( http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2012/01/03/new-release-20111221-clear-rescan/index.html ) contains a change to the Linux script to allow choice of java by altering JAVA_HOME.
JAVA_EXEC=java
if [ -e “${JAVA_HOME}” ]
then
JAVA_EXEC=${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java
fi
exec ${JAVA_EXEC} ${VMARGS} […]
So, override JAVA_HOME before you call the script if you want to control the java exe, e.g.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/; ./bliss.sh
I’m aware that this manual installation is not the nicest-possible solution, however without solid evidence that a fully packaged Diskstation add-on would be worth my time I am not working on that for now. Please open a new idea for a full packaged version if that’s what you want.

I have the DS-211J, which I believe is the most popular model for home users, being a very reaonably priced 2-bay unit. The DS-111J is similar, but with one bay. The CPU is Marvell 6281.

Sounds like a nice project. In a similar vein, there is already a similar build of bliss for the Netgear ReadyNAS. Furthermore, I have been speaking to some other enthusiasts who have had bliss running on an OMAP4 system with ARM processors.
According to http://download.synology.com/download/ds/userguide/Synology%20NAS%20Server%203rd-Party%20Apps%20Integration%20Guide.pdf there are different processors/architectures in different Diskstations. Which model do you have and which is most popular?
I would be interested in working with anyone who knows how to develop for this platform, and would give them as much help as they need to get it up and running.
One word of warning: bliss is a Java application, so needs a JRE to be installed.
