QNAP installation of Serviio - a free DLNA server.

QNAPs come with a media server pre-installed ready to go - Twonky - which is pretty decent app with iPhone apps for beaming and controlling playback from your library. However, after a recent update Twonky was unable to play MKV files. It did appear that by renaming the files to .avi or .wmv they could play, but that is a rather boring solution to the problem. I read that Serviio could possibly do the job better so set out to install and test. First needed the JAVA files from here . You can download either Java SE for Embedded 7 or Java SE for Embedded 6. The version you need is either "ARMv5 Linux - Headless EABI, SoftFP ABI, Little Endian" (for Java 7) or "ARMv5 Linux - Headless EABI, SoftFP, Little Endian" (for Java 6). Put the file into your /share/Public folder leave it as .tar.gz also for some reason the file only downloaded properly with IE. After installing JRE crack on with the Serviio install, there is a QPKG you can grab here http://forum.servii

How to filter the current user with measures in your Dynamics 365 Business Central embedded Power BI report.

Embedding Power BI reports directly in Dynamics 365 Business Central is one of the many synergies of the Microsoft 365 platform. Giving users context relevant analysis right on the page where they need to see it helps make faster and better decisions. Previously I have looked at how to easily publish a new data set as a web service from BC and use this data in a Power BI report shown on the BC role center page . An interesting requirement that came up this week was the need to filter a BI report to only show data related to the current user. Initially row level security was considered; but this was not as easy to implement as using a basic visual filter and the 'Measure of a Measure' approach. Credit goes to the Power BI community, the original solution was described here and here . This approach relies on your data model having the user emails on the rows you wish to filter to.
