Note :

 

The media viewer can be used to play photos and music files on all NAS models.

However, the feature to play videos using the media viewer is available on NAS

models that support hardware-accelerated transcoding.

To stream media files to HDMI or Chromecast using the Network Media Player,

the Media Streaming Add-On must first be installed in the App Center.

Bonjour must be enabled when using multi-zone streaming. You can enable

Bonjour in "Control Panel" > "Network Service" > "Service Discovery" > "Bonjour".

Only MP4 video files can be directly streamed if your NAS does not support On-

the-fly Transcoding. You can consider transcoding them into different media

formats if they are desirable. For details on transcoding, please refer to the 

Transcode Management

 chapter.

Before enabling subtitles, please save the subtitles file (.srt format) in the same

folder as the video file and ensure its name is the same as the video file.
