Required to run extra cameras on some Synology models. Worked just fine to add a third camera to my DS116. UPDATE June 25 2017: Synology added HTML5 streaming and different stream profiles to work better on mobile and other clients on low-bandwidth connections.
i was looking for a new Plex server for full 4k HD remux HEVC mkv files. This is it!!! Play files without issue using LG tv plex app. If youre looking for a new Plex server you wont regret this purchase.
UPDATE: found the problem - Restrict NTLM: Incoming NTLM traffic Restrict NTLM: Outgoing NTLM traffic to remote servers these will break ability to get to the device cant access over network from domain joined machines. dead clean win10 connects fine. still trying to figure out what is stopping machines from connecting. will update if/when i figure it out.
